2009 Draft & Signings Thread

[Mephistopheles]

I'm guardedly optimistic with everything going crazy at the last moment here, but Wilken seems to disappoint me every year... no matter who is on the board. And there's no guarantee anybody we really want will actually drop.

 

I really think we will take another guy we werent linked to with the first pick. A guy like Poythress or Krauss wouldnt shock me. I wouldnt mind Jeff Malm.

 

I would love to have Malm, but he's a bit of an overdraft there. Granted, there's no way he lasts til our 2nd pick.

 

The one I keep thinking is our big sleeper is Kentrail Davis. He's the quintessential Wilken pick. The only thing is, I'd think we'd have heard something about a predraft deal if they were going to risk nabbing him.

 

 

I have him at #24 on my draft board. I might take him.

Selig just has to be a robot. The man lacks any kind of emotion.

[Outshined_One]

Good thing they didn't do this in front of a live audience. Bud Selig would have been booed out of the building.

[Rob]

Cripes, I'd kill for a return to the days of the conference call. The commercials and commentary are unbearable.

 

Four minutes per pick is still a bit too much. Especially considering there seems to be an edict from the higher ups to wait the whole time out.

[Outshined_One]

The suspense is killing me with this pick.

[Tryptamine]

I don't understand what it's taking the full amount of time. If the Nats still haven't made the decision then that franchise is in a whole lot of trouble.

And we're off...

I think half the people in that building are asleep.

Bud Selig was excited to announce Dustin Ackley's name.

[Rob]

Whoa, drafting as a 1B. I guess they cleared that up.
