After being selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 5th round, Austin Wood's arm exploded.

O_O, you hoping for Wikoff today?

 

Not a huge fan in the times I've seen him, but he fits the mold for the Cubs.

 

He'll prob. go around the 7th and should be a good pick for that slot.

Sounds about right. I can see him being a decent 4th OF as his ceiling, especially given his height (or lack thereof). I'd be fine with him around that area.

[UK1679666180]

Heh, nevermind.

[Outshined_One]

Great overdraft, Astros. They announced him as a SS, to boot.

[UK1679666180]

Wikoff projects at 2B, IMO.

[UK1679666180]

I'd kill to have a name like Damien Magnifico.

[jersey cubs fan]

Damien Magnifico has to be a stage name.

Wikoff projects at 2B, IMO.

 

I got this nagging feeling that he'd end up in the OF when I saw him. 2B is a possibility...but ehhhhhh...

There goes Jeff Malm.

[Outshined_One]

Jeff Malm to the Rays.

 

Holy crap.

[Outshined_One]

We just drafted another prep player?!?!

[Guest]

Yay, Casey Haerther!

[Tony Thomas]

Yay Canada!

[Guest]

There goes Fields. Then Ruben Sierra's kid.

[Outshined_One]

We got Brooks Raley as a LHP.

[Guest]

There goes Krol to Oakland.

[Outshined_One]

Ian Krol just went to the A's. They should be able to sign him with the draft budget they have.

IF Blair Springfield (IL HS)

 

These prep picks are confusing me.

Multiple guys who went to high school in northern climates, no?

[Guest]

Colvin and Younginer go back to back.

[Guest]

The Nationals have already signed Drew Soren.

[UK1679666180]

Rays select Brett Nommensen OF out of Eastern Illinois.

38. Sam Dyson, rhp, South Carolina

65. Brian Goodwin, of, Rocky Mount (N.C.) HS

68. Dane Williams, rhp, Archbishop McCarthy HS, SW Ranches, Fla.

74. Jacob Stewart, of, Rocky Moutain HS, Fort Collins, Colo.

81. Austin Maddox, c, Eagle’s View Academy, Jacksonville, Fla.

92. Kendal Volz, rhp, Baylor

94. Matt den Dekker, of, Florida

 

And the Cubs took Brooks Raley today, one of BA's top 100 prospects.

[Tony Thomas]

Does anybody know anything about Jacob Stewart? I thought he was going to be drafted higher.
