    Michael Vick and Mewelde Moore were taken in the 2000 MLB Draft, as memory serves me. I think both were taken on the second day as position players, though. Samardzija is not "far and away" the best WR in this upcoming draft class, though. In terms of seniors, Jason Hill (Washington State) should be able to push him for that distinction. The junior class is absolutely filthy, though. If he came out, most people would give the "Best WR in the Draft" distinction to Calvin Johnson out at Georgia Tech. Some people think he could be the best player in the 2007 draft, period. Other people really like Dwayne Jarrett (Southern Cal) and Sidney Rice (South Carolina) over Samardzija. Granted, we'll see what happens in the fall. It pretty much hinges on who comes out and who doesn't, along with injuries and production (much like any other draft). Given his speed limitations and possible commitment to the Cubs, I have a feeling he might slip in the draft.

    They basically gave up in Asia when Leon Lee left. They're doing a pretty good job in Venezuela and the DR, though. I'm curious to see how guys like Mario Mercedes and Johnny Mota turn out.

    Cal Poly strikes again!
  4. Outshined_One
    LaPorta is still on the board.
  5. Outshined_One
    I particularly enjoyed seeing him swing and miss on a few occasions. That made me have tremendous faith in the pick.

    L/L CF Andrew Rundle, Bend HS (OR) Another all around decent guy with no standout tools who can play CF. Weeeee.
  7. Outshined_One
    For those of you wondering, the latest pick was L/R CF Matt Camp out of NC State.
  8. Outshined_One
    Well, the guy kinda sounds like Matt Kemp...
  9. Outshined_One
    Reminds me somewhat of Rich Hill a few years ago with those HBPs and WPs. That 59/53 K/BB is ugly, though.
  10. Outshined_One
    :lol: Awesome name.
  11. Outshined_One
    The dude's name is Kitt? Ouch. Still, wonder if he's a Cubs fan...
  12. Outshined_One
    But he doesn't wheigh anything!!!! That's because he's two dimensional.
  13. Outshined_One
    I wouldn't be that down on it. If he decides to commit to baseball over football, he could end up being the steal of the draft.

    Aaaaaaaaaaand there's the freakishly tall pitcher. 6'7 works, haha.
  15. Outshined_One
    I'm not the only one who's noticed the Cubs haven't taken a freakishly tall pitcher yet, am I? Renshaw looks decent. He hit 91 on the gun and his secondary stuff looked reasonable. His arm action is a bit violent, though.

    And he's already making $100,000 to $150,000 at Notre Dame. The Cubs will have to really fork over some cash. It's kinda like the Miami football players who have to take a pay cut when they enter the NFL. ;)

    Jeff Samardzija just joined? :-s :lol:

    #269 - CF Clifford Anderson, Cottonwood HS, UT
  19. Outshined_One
    He looked stiff in the legs. If he could get some good coaching, I'm curious as to whether that'll add a tick or two to his fastball.
  20. Outshined_One
    Wrong one. http://pittsburghpanthers.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/muldowney_billy00.html
  21. Outshined_One
    If that's him, the power is a bit of a concern. Otherwise, the K/BB is reasonable. Wonder if he's worth anything defensively?
  22. Outshined_One
    RHP William Muldowney, Pitt.
  23. Outshined_One
    In all fairness, there is a level of trust that has to exist between football players out there. Offensive players trust the defensive guys not to lead with their helmet, make late hits, or do anything else that could potentially injure or cripple them. Defensive players have the same level of trust for the guys blocking them. And yes, many people have died playing football over the years. A hard enough blow to the head can do serious damage to a person, ya know?
  24. Outshined_One
    Let me guess, another defensively sound guy who can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag?
  25. Outshined_One
    Steven Clevenger, SS, Chipola JC
