his hand came off while the tag was still on, pay attention -
Soto seems awfully low in a crouch at the plate.

Cmon Howry, you're never going to get Lou to trust you again and Marmol's going to throw 130 IP.
-
Wieters is over three, three!, years older than Vitters, of course he's going to be further along. There's your point of reference though, if Vitters isn't past Daytona or doing well there by 2012, it's time to worry.

Howry-Wood is fine to finish the game

With what? His ability to flatten his hat bill? Come on, at least just ask why. Ok, but he hasn't hardly played in two years now. That alone is worrisome. I just don't see what he could have done to get anyone excited. He played short season ball after he signed, and he's only 18, so playing short season ball this year isn't stalling him. How many years after he is drafted should I start looking forward to seeing him reach Daytona? 5? At that point should I start to worry? Vitters was a young high school draftee who signed late. Having him in short season ball for his first full season(so to speak) isn't unusual, or worrisome. I was disappointed that he couldn't start the year in Peoria, but it's hardly time to push the panic button with him. He has plenty of time on his side, so he's got quite some time before people can rationally put a death knell on his pro career(as disappointing as that might be to some).

Lou is wandering around like a crazy person.

Wow, Angel Guzman was a lot better than I remember last year.

I just don't see what he could have done to get anyone excited. He played short season ball after he signed, and he's only 18, so playing short season ball this year isn't stalling him, and still puts him on pace to make the majors at a younger than normal age.

Elijah Dukes refused to let the Cardinals take that game.

The thing I don't get is the comparison to stuff like Colvin. The Cubs draft so far isn't bad even when you go by 3rd party. Cashner was a consensus to go around our pick. Shafer's rankings were better than where he was picked. Flaherty was ranked in the 60's-70's, but on the other hand Carpenter cracked the top 50 for some people. The more I think about the Cerda pick the more I like it. He torched California HS ball, and he'll be a decent to above average defender at 2B when he moves there. I'm meh on Bristow, and I hate the Harrison pick, but I hardly think that's cause for ranting on the draft as a whole. Carpenter and Shafer may not be the impact potential players you were hoping for, but they are not Mark Holliman or Billy Muldowney. Don't lump together terrible picks with picks that are different than your personal ideal.

That's how I felt last year.

7-0 now, Parisi is awful. Looks like we have a chance to get back to 3.5 games up tonight.
-
I don't mind the pick, and I like that with guys like Thomas, Flaherty, and Cerda they're going after middle infielders with some pop. Like Raisin said though, it'd be nice to have someone in the first day with impact upside(although I guess you could stretch to apply that label to Carpenter).
-
From a MaxPreps site for his HS, Cerda's numbers this season. 139 PA's, .542/.647/1.075/1.722, 9 2B, 16 HR, 29/6 BB/K
-
Hahahaha, how did Jonny Gomes get in there so fast? However he did it, it was totally worth it to see him wail on Crisp while Navarro took him down.
-
Not too bad. All college guys so far, although our last two picks have upside above their draft spot if their injury troubles are behind them.
-
The Cardinals broadcast just put up a graphic about their first couple picks, highlighted by first rounder "Brett Walker".
-
Parisi gives up a single and a screaming triple to start, Washington already up 1-0.
-
Was he their Friday starter in the regional last year? Yep, same guy.

Carpenter was #46 in the Saber Scouting Top 100. Player ERA W-L APP GS CG SHO/CBO SV IP H R ER BB SO 2B 3B HR AB B/Avg WP HBP BK SFA SHA 37 CARPENTER, Chris. 3.81 6-2 13 13 0 0/1 0 75.2 55 36 32 33 88 9 3 1 269 .204 7 9 1 6 7 I saw Carpenter pitch in last year's Regional, and I was underwhelmed. I was actually surprised he was well thought of when I found out afterward. That's a pretty solid 2008 season though, and he is projectable.

ugh, not a fan of Carpenter
