2009 Draft & Signings Thread

San Diego isnt cheap!

[Rob]

I like the Padres drafting Everett Williams. It allows them to hedge their bets against Tate not signing.

[Mephistopheles]

well if tate doesnt sign they will have two top five picks next year

I like Kentrail Davis for the Brewers, but he's gonna be a real tough sign. They probably could have waited til the 4th or 5th and he'd have still been on the board.

 

What's the general feeling on Kentrail Davis? He was probably the most talented player at UT this year, but I had no idea how he was viewed nationally.

 

Why do you think he'll be a tough sign?

Ron Kittles speaketh!

As a draft eligible sophomore, he's got plenty of chances to go back and try to up his stock if he doesn't feel he's getting paid like he should... which he probably wont be, given his performance this season.

Reportedly the Brewers had worked out a pre-draft deal with someone who was a signability question. Considering Arnett doesn't have those questions, they may have worked something out with Davis.

There's Kipnis to the Indians.

Yeah, he was hurt some this year and was generally disappointing.

 

Now that the Brewers took him, I especially hope he returns to UT.

[Outshined_One]

Tommy LaSorda for the win.

Blast. I would think he'd want to head back and try to be a first rounder next year.

[Mephistopheles]

stock as a catcher?!

[Outshined_One]

Why exactly did St. Louis do that?

[Mephistopheles]

man id love one of the prep catchers with our next pick. i think we look at the aTm boys or Matt den Dekker or Ben Tootle...well see.

[Outshined_One]

Alex Wilson is still on the board.

[Outshined_One]

As is Chris Dominguez...although I have a feeling the Cubs won't take him.

I would really like to get him, I know he has concerns over his approach and position but I think he could be a solid bat.

[Outshined_One]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach.

Recent signings

 

Jackson got over slot at $90,000 as a 9th rounder. Sean Gallagher had something like a $60,000 bonus as a 12th rounder.

 

$90,000 is actually under slot in the 9th round or just barely slot.

He got a $90k bonus, though.

There goes Wilson.

Dangit CR!

Meph Draft

 

1-31) Tanner Scheppers, RHP - St Paul Saints

2-79) Jeff Malm, 1B - Bishop Gorman HS (NV)

 

I passed on David Renfroe and Daniel Fields for signability reasons. Fields is one of my BIG sleepers. I was torn between Jeff Malm, Chris Dominguez, those two, David Hale and Brody Colvin. I'm hoping one of Myers, Stassi, Maddox or Bailey is there in thirty picks. Not too confident.

[Mephistopheles]

lmfao

 

such a cubs pick

 

actually its not THAT bad.

[Outshined_One]

I'm okay with that pick.
