    This is a shame, obviously... but in regards to the minor celebrations by people anxious to pat themselves on the back, I still will refuse to apologize for withholding my judgment of the man until some proof was actually available. You got lucky you didn't condemn an innocent man... to pat yourself on the back for that is absurd. As to Sammy himself... I'm very disappointed, but not terribly surprised. He was still one of the brighter spots in the last two decades of this organization, and I will continue to appreciate some of the amazing things he did for us... but this certainly taints the memory somewhat.

    Buzz Bissinger v Will Leitch part deux.

    I would kill for your draft instead of ours.

    I don't have any problem with drafting a guy like chris dominguez... light tower power but needs some work on his contact. I don't have any problem with grabbing a guy like LeMahieu who makes contact but needs to learn how to pull the ball and put some power in his swing. But what on earth is the point of drafting a guy without power or contact? Especially considering he may not stick at a premium defensive position. What is the upside with Jackson?

    I feel better about Kirk after seeing he got clocked as high as 95... I was a bit concerned with reports that he topped out at 91 or 92 and had little room left for projection. Not that fastball velocity is the most important thing in the world or anything, but it certainly leaves for some wiggle room.

    To say I'm underwhelmed at this point would be to imply that I'm somehow whelmed at all. I'm not.

    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? 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.

    I like the Padres drafting Everett Williams. It allows them to hedge their bets against Tate not signing.
  9. Rob
    Brew Crew having an excellent draft.

    mlb.com's draft tracker is going really slow...

    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.

    To be fair, Colvin and Jackson weren't but there was a damn good case for Cashner and Vitters. Wieters was obviously better than Vitters, but I agree that you could make a case for taking Vitters. Taking Cashner over Friedrich though?

    Tim Wilken is 4-4 in picking something other than the best player available in the first round.
  14. Rob
    [expletive]
  15. Rob
    K's a lot, doesn't walk a lot. Hits for decent power but a lot of people seem to think he won't in the pros, sounds like he might have a hole in his swing or something Sounds like a Rob Deer or Russ Branyan, or worse, Jason Dubois. Did you stop reading after "K's a lot"?

    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.
  17. Rob
    woohoo!
  18. Rob
    Good call.

    Well they usually have a lot of money to spend on the draft, surprisingly. They aren't that cheap. I'm thinking White must be throwing up a out of line bonus demand. As for the A's. Green, Scheppers, Wheeler and sleeper Raley remain possibilities. The A's have enough money to take anyone btw. FWIW, dont be shocked to here Kipnis.... Well I'm not surprised they were willing to spend. But they were extremely tight lipped about their pick, and nobody was connected to Crow.
  20. Rob
    Wow, that came out of nowhere.
  21. Rob
    Damn. I was really hoping he'd drop.
  22. Rob
    And BA misses their first pick.
  23. Rob
    BA has scooped the [expletive] out of this draft. Kudos to them. Sucky for us, though. This is boring.
  24. Rob
    Whoa, drafting as a 1B. I guess they cleared that up.
  25. Rob
    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.
