LHP Clayton Kershaw, Highland Park HS

Yeah, this was the year after JD messed with the Phillies and folks weren't sure he'd sign. He was a consensus top-3 pick (along with Burrell and Mulder) otherwise.

Greenberg? I heard already... :( Wow. :( -
Drew Stubbs.

UCLA defeated UCI 3-2, thanks in part to Hector Amrbiz's CG. They play the winner of Mizzou-Pepperdine. Pepperdine leads it right now 3-1 in the 9th.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-2-2006

Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu (2-3, 3.16 ERA, 51.1 IP, 42/18) @ RHP Jared Fernandez (1-1, 3.45 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Bobby Brownlie (1-3, 5.71 ERA, 17.1 IP, 15/8) Daytona: RHP Matt Weber vs. LHP Kyle Aselton (4-2, 4.10 ERA) Peoria (game 1): RHP Todd Blackford (4-1, 4.25 ERA, 55 IP, 23/22) Peoria (game 2): TBD -
Hochevar (would have gone Lincecum if he was still available).
-
There goes that dream. :( Somewhere in NE Illinois, UK isn't too happy.
-
Uh oh. You know they'll go after Pods. Pods .271 .272 .395 line would improve our leadoff spot quite a bit. Even if he settles to last years level of .290 .351 .349 it would be an improvement. Good Lord! And I thought Pierre's IsoD was pitiful. Who do the White Sox have left in their farm system worth pursuing? Liotta? Broadway? I'd want Josh Fields or Lance Broadway. Williamson wouldn't net either.

Maddux to Dodgers?

Forget Guzman and his awful plate discipline, I want Billingsley (if you want a hitter, I'd rather have Kemp). -
Really? Even thought he's a Boras client and the Pirates are cheapskates? Those would be fun negotiations to watch, given that Hochevar has almost zero leverage. I'll keep picking him until he's off the board. I really think he'll go #3. Well, we're going for most realistic, so if he didn't go #3 like you thought he would, you have to make him go to the most likely next destination. This isn't just a draft board deal here.

RHP Brad Lincoln, Houston - 3 LHP Clayton Kershaw, Highland Park HS - 1 OF Drew Stubbs, Texas - 1 RHP Luke Hochevar, formerly Tennessee - 1
-
Didn't the current Pirates owner make Littlefield pass on Upton and take Bullington because he preferred college players? Correct, he loves college players. I think Lincoln is the pick here too.

I'm with kc - RHP Brad Lincoln, Houston.

Well done.

And the weather's been heating up!

We go for first to 5 votes or the player with the most votes in 12 hours.

It will be 75°F with a 50% chance of thunderstorms at game time. http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_stl_closeradar_medium_usen.jpg

Not who I'd take if I were them, but 2B/3B Evan Longoria, Cal State Long Beach. EDIT: After seeing texascub's post, let me add who I'd take if I were them: Tim Lincecum. Of course, he's my favorite prospect in the draft, so yeah.
-
Andrew Miller for me too. One more for the unanimous selection.

We're doing a mock draft for this year. However, due to time constraints, we're going to have to do it in a quick amount of time since the draft goes down in less than a week. So, this will be run the quick way. Link to thread | Premium Thanks to Outshined for doing this!
