The suspense is killing me with this pick. -
Good thing they didn't do this in front of a live audience. Bud Selig would have been booed out of the building.
-
Cripes, I'd kill for a return to the days of the conference call. The commercials and commentary are unbearable.
-
That's where the draft is actually happening, I think. No conference hall or auditorium or anything... the MLB Network set. It looks like they lifted it from a high school play.

Harold Reynolds just wants to hug Jim Callis.

What in the hell is with that set?

More from BA

He was. However, a lot of the other HS arms apparently have decided they want Porcello money, too.
-
If it's true that he wants Porcello money, he's going to plummet. Yanks would probably gobble him up. They'll have their pick of the litter at the rate things are going. If the Tigers don't take one of the HS pitchers, the Cubs could actually have a good shot at someone like Jacob Turner, Tyler Matzek, Matt Purke, or Shelby Miller. This is starting to remind me of the Jered Weaver/Stephen Drew draft.

Back to back picking on the Pirates posts. What's the story here? Does this guy not belong anywhere near the top 5? Yep. Tony Sanchez isn't a particularly bad player or anything. He's a polished college player who'll stick at catcher and could be a decent every day starter in the majors. I think people have had him as a potential supplemental 1st rounder, maybe a touch higher. However, he has nothing like the ceilings of other players who will be available at #4 for the Pirates to take. It's clear that the Pirates are taking him to save money.
-
Keith Law's reporting the Buccos officially have a pre-draft deal in place with Sanchez and will select him #4 overall. Oh, how I hope this blows up in their faces.
-
New signing deadline for draftees confirmed due to August 15th falling on a Saturday.
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Looks like they put that one together before the Sanchez to the Pirates rumors spread like wildfire, along with the news of the recent increased demands of the HS draftees. /holding out hope

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-9-2009

Well, to be fair, they did draft Michael Brenly in 2005...and didn't sign him. :( What a depressing draft that's become. -
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
-
I'm just hoping the same holds true for Brett Jackson.
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Keith Law's chat has been borderline worthless so far. However, he has been rather snarky in his answers. It's vaguely amusing.
-
Andy Seiler's final mock. I really like it.
-
If we're hoping for guys who probably are unlikely to fall to 31, I'm going to go ahead and hope Matzek's sudden bonus demands drop him down to the Cubs. I'm hoping that for Turner since the Cubs have actually been rumored to be after him.
