    Let's do it. I call 3B. I think I got the arm for Left Field. One problem. I'm afraid of the ball. :oops: You'll still draw plenty of walks. I call CF.

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Cubs actually signed Dusty to an extension and were waiting for a four game winning streak to announce it...and it never comes?

    In other news, Adam Dunn walked on three pitches yesterday. See kids? You CAN steal 1st!

    Actually, the front office hasn't been too bad when it comes to drafting, especially pitchers. I'll be a bit worried if they take a raw position player, though. I think the pitchers have been average or above but the postion players have been far below average IMO. I'd say they do a pretty good job with drafting pitchers, although their infatuation with pitchers who are freakin' tall has been rather odd. But yeah, their position player drafting has produced vague hits and massive misses.

    "Komodo vs. Cobra" is on Sci-Fi now. Awesome.

    Yes -- can you tell us more about players #1 - #100? :mrgreen: They are ranked in sequential order from first to last. Save for Luke Hochevar, they all attend some form of academic institution, whether it's a high school, junior college, or college. Some are hitters, some are pitchers, and some are both! What's more, some of them are raw with tremendous ceilings while others are polished with more limited ceilings! :P That said, this seems to be a down year for Virginia, a favorite Cubs haunt. Jeffress would be a nice pick at 13, but after that, the pickings are a bit slim.

    Sadly, Toronto is now run by competent management.
  14. Outshined_One
    Toronto Raptors get to screw up the #1 overall pick. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    A 28 pitch first inning? This isn't 2005!

    Kerry Wood isn't clutch! He's a sissy! He can go to hell!!!!!!!
  22. Outshined_One
    Leadoff walk. Yay.
  23. Outshined_One
    In other words, a raw college player! ...as opposed to a raw high schooler. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

    Prospects Stats & Scouting Reports You need BA member access. I won't copy-paste anything, but if anyone is curious about where certain players are or summaries of those guys, just ask.

    Can some one explain to me how Morrison would be able to create his own shot in the NBA? He got by in the NCAA because he was able to shoot over guys who were not all that advanced defensively or all that tall. I like his intangibles and think he could put up great numbers (especially in garbage time), but he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who could be the best player on his team. The only questions I have about Thomas are about his size and conditioning. Otherwise, I think his ceiling and floor are both worth the risk of taking him #1 overall. He's fundamentally sound, an excellent defensive player, smart, intense, and quite fun to watch. There's plenty of growing left for him to do, but as he is right now, he could be valuable to the Bulls. Aldridge...I just haven't liked what I've seen of him every time I've watched him. I don't think he'll become a bust or is worthless...but I have to wonder. For one, a man with his size who's had a serious hip injury is cause for concern. He's done quite well recovering from it, but will he be able to keep it healthy in the NBA? I always worry about guys who've sustained back, knee, and hip injuries when it comes to the NBA. At least Thomas injured a part of his body that doesn't play a critical role in sustaining weight, ya know? Secondly, Aldridge doesn't have the same intensity and emotion as Thomas. I know he could learn it or that it could be a non-factor, but at the same time, I really prefer guys who play with an edge, ya know? I really like Roy, though. Safest pick in the draft, great all-around player. He's not the ideal size for a SG, but otherwise he's quite sound. If Thomas is off the board, he's the guy I want the Bulls to draft.
