    According to Boyd's World, Nevada's home park factor rating is 136 and the weighted average of the parks they played in during 2004 was 115. The 136 ranks 9th by my count in the timeframe of 2002-2005. Their park is rather small; it is 340' down the lines, 383' in the alleys, and 401 to CF. The fences are 12' all the way around except for a 20' batter's eye. FWIW, Peccole Park also doubles as the home of the Reno Silver Sox of the Golden Baseball League. Their season just started so I can't compare the HR totals. The next highest HR total on Nevada's team though was only 8HRs.

    With most of the upper level college pitching prospects gone at this point, I think the Jays will take Matt Antonelli from Wake Forest.

    After missing out on Shawn Scobee in 2002, does anyone think they'll continue their recent trend of redrafting players? His stats were off the charts this year at Nevada; just look at these numbers: .371/.538/.847/1.385 with 22HRs and 53RBI. He also showed pretty good plate discipline with a 47/44 K/BB ratio and he only made 2 errors all year long (53 starts) in the outfield.

    Well sweetpeteman's vote was the 5th for Jeffress so Jeffress is the official selection for the Cubs. The Blue Jays are now on the clock.

    6IP 6k/0BB isn't bad, but he also allowed 8 hits, 4R/3ER (and the unearned was on his own error), and his 3-8 GO-FO ratio could definately use some work. He did a decent job with damage control, but his start sure wasn't pretty.

    Yay! Someone finally agrees with me :D

    Votes so far: Jeffress- 4 Snider- 1 (I'm the lone ranger as always)

    :?: I bat LH and throw RH and it's never affected me in the infield. You could say I'm naturally LH. I was always above average defensively at SS. I guess I don't understand your reasoning. My train of thought is that if someone is LH, they would have an easier time throwing with their left hand instead of their right hand. When I played baseball I played 3B for a few years, and could never throw RH worth a crap so I just played LH. It was awkward but I had a decent arm and still got the job done.

    If he stays on his average pitches/inning for the rest of the game, a CG would still only be 126 pitches which is about average for Z anyways.

    Well brewerfan.net has quite a few profiles that you can use. MLB's draft tracker used to have a bunch of profiles but it seems as though they've backed off quite a bit this year. Other than that, you can always do quick summaries of what the player's college profile page says.

    craig, do you know if Moore is naturally LH or RH and if this might be the cause of some of his problems? I'm pretty sure he bats strictly LH so this leads me to believe that he is naturally LH, but throwing RH.
  12. texascub
    I'm going to say Travis Snider for the Cubs.

    Outshined, I think you need to bump the time limit down from 12 hours to something like 6 hours. Alot of these picks have gone right up to their time limit and that might help speed things up.
  14. texascub
    Ok so the Rangers are now on the clock. With the exception of Danks, they've taken college players in the first round. This year I'll go with Joba Chamberlain for their 1st round pick.

    Results for the D-Backs pick: Scherzer- 4 Drabek- 2 Jeffress- 1

    From 2001, our 3rd round pick Ryan Theriot is tearing it up in AAA. He was in the majors for awhile but only got about 5ABs. Other than the two you mentioned, and Theriot, there wasn't much in the draft that we have held on to. The 2002 draft had alot of talent, but even more injuries. Dopirak, Craig, Hill, Hoffpauir, Walker, Cherry, and Wells are all still doing pretty good in the system. Brownlie, Blasko, and Hagerty have turned out to be disappointing but still have a shot to contribute IMO.

    He's already made 9 errors this year and his defense at the hot corner isn't very stellar. It had been improving a little bit, but I think he'll end up like Kelton with a move to the OF in his future if his arm is good enough.
  18. texascub
    Nobody even mentions the fact that Pie was bumped back up into the leadoff spot after several days in the 7 hole. He was 0-4 with 2k and 1BB but it's progress right? It's also good to see the I-Cubs knocking around Alf in the 9th inning to get the win.
  19. texascub
    I'll give Morrow his 5th vote, so the D-Backs are on the clock. I'll vote for Jeremy Jeffress to be the D-Backs pick.
  20. texascub
    He's very thin at only 6'2" 170lbs. He's already going to be 23 later this month so he doesn't look like he'll have much of a shot contributing at the major league level unless he really flies through the system. All I can find on him is that he is still down in Arizona working on his pitching, but he did catch for Wood when he was rehabbing down there.
  21. texascub
    IMO that is probably OF Cody Johnson out of Florida. Having a high pick in such a thin draft sucks this year. We've got good pitching and should probably go for a bat, but there probably won't be one worth the #13 pick there. My two favorites are Travis Snyder and Kyler Burke, but neither of the probably warrant a high 1st round selection unless they really shoot up between now and the draft.
  22. texascub
    I'll agree with Outshined and go with Rowell as well.

    Results for the Reds' pick thus far: Reynolds- 3 Morrow- 2 Bard- 1 Scherzer- 1 Drabeck- 1
  24. texascub
    With an extra day of rest, each pitcher would probably see their average pitch count go up by atleast 20 pitchers knowing Dusty.
  25. texascub
    Here is Brewerfan.net's take on him. He looks promising, but they've only got him ranked #121 overall. Reading his report, he reminds me of a lighter Andy Sisco.
