Borchering's picture was fantastic.

[Sammys Boombox]

Apparently Crow grew up a Royals fan and was talking about potentially offering a hometown discount to the Royals back when he was at Mizzou.

 

We'll see if that's true.

 

That's been the talk at all the Mizzou baseball games this year amongst the Royals fans. They've been hoping for it.

crow can't ask for much more than slot... he doesn't have much leverage any more.

[Rob]

woohoo!

[Outshined_One]

Very nicely done, meph.

[Outshined_One]

woohoo!

 

This increases the chances of Brett Jackson falling to us.

 

Not woohoo. :(

[Hall7810]

Meph is nailing it.

[pitchcs]

Oh please don't let this mean the Cubs are taking Jackson.

[RammyFanny]

Any chance Chad James or Paxton could slide to us (James preferably)? I haven't payed attention to what they are asking for. After hearing Wilken's comments on how he wants LHP, James would be amazing. I've got him higher than a couple who have went already.

Is it cliche to say best signable prep player on their board? That leaves Trout, James, Skaggs and Mier in that order. Tim Wheeler might entice them enough to go out of the prep market.

I hope the Marlins take Miller, I don't want the Cardinals to get him.

Andy Oliver is still on the board...

[Outshined_One]

Trout to the Marlins?

 

It's almost poetic.

[Rob]

woohoo!

 

This increases the chances of Brett Jackson falling to us.

 

Not woohoo. :(

 

Anytime somebody I don't want is eliminated as a possible pick of ours, I will rejoice.

[Guest]

I say James.

[Outshined_One]

I say James.

 

There ya go CR.

[Tryptamine]

woohoo!

I agree, we're one pick away from me feeling much safer about the pick.

[RyneSandberg]

Someone please take Jackson

[Guest]

Damn, I was hoping he'd fall.

[Mephistopheles]

Correct.

Why not? They've been big on college lefties this year. That gives us Paxton and Brothers. They could be the team to select Scheppers or Gibson. I really think they're going college left side arm. Jenkins and Arnett are the WCs. Super WC is Jared Mitchell.

[Outshined_One]

Come on Cards, reach for the toolsy college OF who goes to Cal...

[Mephistopheles]

BURN PING BURN DAMN YOU!!!
