2009 Draft & Signings Thread

[Rob]

And BA misses their first pick.

[Guest]

Wow, BA wrong with White.

 

Cincinnata.

[manbearcub]

hes a winner

[Outshined_One]

They're profiling the Class of 2000? Seriously?

 

That...wow.

[Outshined_One]

Okay, if no one else is going to do it, I will.

 

The Reds just took a Leake.

[Rob]

Damn. I was really hoping he'd drop.

1-1) WAS - Stephen Strasburg, RHP - SDSU

1-2) SEA - Dustin Ackley, 1B/OF - UNC

1-3) SD - Donovan Tate, OF - GA HS

1-4) PIT - Tony Sanchez, C - BC

1-5) BAL - Matt Hobgood, RHP - CA HS

1-6) SF - Zach Wheeler, RHP - GA HS

1-7) ATL - Mike Minor, LHP - Vandy

1-8) CIN - Mike Leake, RHP - ASU

1-9) DET - Jake Turner, RHP - MO HS

1-10) WAS - Drew Storen, RHP - Stanford

 

I guess Turner's bonus demands are, in fact, lower than Matzek's. Storen looks to be next, but don't be shocked to see Jenkins, Trout, Wheeler, or James.

*applause*

[Outshined_One]

*applause*

 

*Startled Bud Selig*

[Guest]

Damn on Turner.

 

Stanford. Stanford, CA.

[manbearcub]

"from Stanford, California"

[A-Cal]

why are we not picking higher than 31?

[Mephistopheles]

Now things will get interesting.

1-10) WAS - Drew Storen, RHP - Stanford

1-11) COL - Shelby Miller, RHP - TX HS

Some thoughts. The Rockies have been linked to Brothers a lot, but of late it looks like they will take a signable HS pitcher. My gut feeling is they take Crow or possibly Matzek. Crow is a possibility as well. Honestly, I'd take Scheppers.

oh Snap, i forgot...here.

[Outshined_One]

And there goes Matzek.

Damn, great pick.

1-11) COL - Tyler Matzek, LHP - CA HS

1-12) KC - Grant Green, SS - USC

I expect Green, White or Myers to go here. Rumors have them big on Jenkins, but is he better than White? White (must) be floating a HUGE bonus. He could continue to slide.

[Mephistopheles]

Damn, great pick.

 

for 7 to 10 mil?

[Outshined_One]

Someone get Jim Callis a cup of coffee.

Don't think they go Green here, but I could be wrong. I think pitching.

[Mephistopheles]

ive had them in on green for awhile now. i backed off turner and got burned.

[RammyFanny]

Dang.

[Outshined_One]

And there goes another guy I wanted to fall to the Cubs.

[Rob]

Wow, that came out of nowhere.
