  1. How does Bubba compare to Hosmer coming out of HS?
  2. http://twitter.com/#!/colin_dunlap/status/69950928433856512 Pirates source says they are strongly considering Dylan Bundy #1 overall.
  3. Hayden looks like a horrible pick thus far. Just brutal. If he's not healthy - sit him down. Not doing him any good right now.
  4. Archie, Jed, or Jackie Jr.? I'm figuring you mean Archie? And I agree in this scenario, Bubba is the best guy on the board. Neither. I mean't Dylan Bundy. I want: Starling, Bundy, Gray. In that order. I was reading something about Archie when I typed that. Oops.
  5. Starling would be very ideal. I really want one of Bradley/Starling/Gray.
  6. Why isn't Simpson striking out anyone?
  7. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2011/05/02/the-mock-volume-i/
  8. Heyman top 25: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/jon_heyman/05/02/draft.top.players/index.html Lindor @ No. 2 overall. Few quotes:
  9. HIT SOMETHING YOU BUM
  10. Dempster is back to Dumpster.
  11. Tennessee shutdown for the most part by LHP Brad Hand. Isn't he a really legit pitching prospect?
  12. Can you imagine the infield defense with Fielder, Castro, Vitters? Kind of scary.
  13. Posting a .514 OPS After last years sub .200 BA, how long do we keep running this guy out there? I know there are not many options in the system, but is there any chance he's still around post all star break?
  14. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=mlb_draft&id=6354443 Obviously, not a huge surprise with the Gray interest. I'd really love either Gray or Bubba Starling in round 1. Still, I can't really see anyone here disappointed in the selection. It will be hard for Wilken to shake this forum this year. Lots of studs to choose from.
  15. :D I hope Jackson stays all year at Tennessee. Is Iowa really necessary? I mean, these past two games he has faced Archer & Moore. Is he going to see guys w/ that good of stuff at Iowa? Is there any difference in the jump from AA to AAA? Keep this group together until September, IMO. More at bats for everyone =P
  16. Nice. Also, interesting tidbit on pitch count w/ amateurs.
  17. Make that 3/3. How legit are his legs? I know he stole 30 last year in the minors. Can he steal 30-40 in the majors? I'd love to see a top of the order: Jax Castro for years to come.. Nice selection Wilken. Very nice!
  18. Jax is 2/2.. Hitting .475 He's better than Colvin right now. Trade Fukudome and bring him up.
  19. Vitters & Jackson are getting me excited.. It would be really nice to add another big time bat in the draft this year to go along with those two.
  20. +1. + the increase in payroll, overall bad team. Not to mention, I didn't like how Ricketts said he was going to spend $ on the draft and then didn't. Yeah, you can't be mad about that anymore. It's well-known now that he is literally building for the future in Latin America. A huge presence there is probably more important than spending big every year in the draft (with the exception of this year and 2001). I didn't read about the Cubs signing any big name Latin players, mostly just smaller slot guys. Ricketts better spend this June. ... He's talking about the Cubs' plans for a baseball academy in the Dominican Republican. And are you expecting the Ricketts to force Wilken to spend money? I expect better than #20 in draft $$ from an owner who has said he wants to build the farm and spend on the draft. Do you think Wilken last year was allowed to take the players he truly wanted? He was on a budget. A big market team like the Cubs should not be #20 in draft $. If Ricketts doesn't pony up this year w/ the talent available - it will be pretty disgraceful.
  21. Vitters 1/2 with a 2B and RBI. Good start to the year for him.
