    Oakland will now take Wallace.
  2. UK1679666180
    Insert commercials between 2 of these steps.
  3. UK1679666180
    Cincy going with Crow?
  4. UK1679666180
    Everything falling into place, if SF can ink him, it's a good pick. Skipworth should be next,
  5. UK1679666180
    They needed to combine TV with the previous pace pre-TV, I can dream.
  6. UK1679666180
    They should reduce it to 2 minutes (I had to say it again)
  7. UK1679666180
    This will be the last time in many years that TB will have the 1st pick.
  8. UK1679666180
    Two of my fav. days of the year are upon us....
  9. UK1679666180
    That was his younger brother.
  10. UK1679666180
    (Christian has the Better FB, shows a feel for a change, slighly better command/control)
  11. UK1679666180
    Five rounds likely today, ESPN2 will have the first and supplemental rounds. I actually like day 2 better than day 1.
  12. UK1679666180
    Hunt, Crow, and Cole each have questions about their arm actions, Crow and Cole have the upside and lack of injury to overlook that, Hunt would be a reach either way.
  13. UK1679666180
    Jake will likely be throwing on Friday 10:00 in Joliet at Silver Cross Field, if he's not throwing (which means Highland is saving for the championship) then he'll be at SS. I'd be shocked if he's not throwing tomorrow, though.

    PGCrosschecker has the Cubs taking Kelly.
  15. UK1679666180
    I used safer in context as far as health, rather HS or college. While they've done poorly with HS hitters, their record w/collegiate position players isn't strong either (are Theriot and Brendan Harris the last ones to become ML regulars?)
  16. UK1679666180
    Sandwich pick? No, there's still plenty of high ceiling players there w/out a red flag (of course, I've never seen him throw). The Cubs have been burned by high ceiling college arms with arm problems going into the draft, the farm isn't in a position to take that risk and would be better off going with safer pick as far as health, even if it meant a slightly lower ceiling. They need quality and quantity.
  17. UK1679666180
    Soto should jump out. They've obviously done a poor job of developing position players since the Dallas Green era. They should go for the best player avail. (assuming signable for dollar on the muscle) regardless of position.
  18. UK1679666180
    I thought he could throw 89 MPH's? I read that comment as an average arm for an MLB shortstop, which is certainly still above average compared to the average for MLB players. I assumed likewise.
  19. UK1679666180
    As long as they can remain competitive yet not able to pass the Cubs, this is a good thing. I'd rather not see them coast until Sept (once Sept comes around, I'd love for them to be in a position to put starters on low pitch counts, Marmol and Wood extra rest, and rest everyday players with a couple weeks left) and potentially lost that edge. It would be great for baseball if both teams play well throughout.
  20. UK1679666180
    Lidge had arm problems as you mentioned but it wasn't until his his AA season and his 4th arm injury that finally scraped the idea of making him a starter. Same thing with Wagner, he started all of his minor league career, then came into the majors as a long reliever and worked his way up to closer.
  21. UK1679666180
    Lidge and Wagner were starters in college and early on in the minors, IIRC. As far as Street, he was the last of the 4 1st rd. picks Oakland had, given they had 3 players already taken, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
  22. UK1679666180
    There aren't many 1st rd. HS Of'ers that aren't toolsy. But, Zach doesn't turn 18 until Sept. and is very signable. His tools project across the board. I'll reserve my opinion on who I want them to take until the draft is over. :)
  23. UK1679666180
    There would have to be a balancing of contracts, so I'm sure Hughes and his high contract as well as poss. another would have to be included.
  24. UK1679666180
    Slaughter rule, they won 10-0. Keeping him fresh for Friday, which will get banged anyways.
  25. UK1679666180
    Throw in Thomas, besides his inability to progress beyond just a leaper or mature as a person, his role would be reduced with someone like Beasley. That would be ideal getting Wade and Beasley, but I can't see it happening.
