    Sadly, he didn't put up that performance at high-A.

    ah touche, but he also has the abitlity to play corner of and 1b. Heh, in that case, Upton has the ability to play SS and CF.

    Not belonging in the Cubs' top 20-25 prospects seems way off base when you consider that 1) Colvin was rated, at worst, a third round pick* and 2) the Cubs farm system is not that strong. *Ignoring the statements that said the Cubs weren't the only team to elevate him to or close to the first round on draft boards.

    He had mentioned a few times that he was tired in August after playing with Clemson most of the spring and into the CWS. Hopefully that's the main reason for his struggles in August. Outside of Game 3, he performed rather well in the playoff series.

    He was interviewed on XM Home Plate this weekend. 1410 SAT- not bad for a dumb jock. Doesn't the SAT have three sections for a max score of 2400 these days? Or did I hear that wrong? You're correct.

    9/6 was when the regular season ended.

    Gordon is gonna stay at third. Hell he is better defensively than Teahan right now. I would imaigne Mark learns to play a little bit of 2b and becomes pretty valueable. What the heck where the Dbacks thinking? If they would have picked Gordon instead of Upton they would have some kind of team for next year. Upton was the best prospect at the time of the draft (arguably still is, despite an average first pro season - Maybin and Gordon obviously have a valid argument too). No need to evaluate the draft based on who comes to the big leagues first. No, don't get me wrong I like Upton too. But, they already had their ss for the next 15 years in Drew. Plus they have CHris Young in cf. Gordon would have made more sense. The acquired Chris Young after Upton had been drafted. Drafting for BPB is the way to go, you don't know how other prospects or big leaguers will pan out in the future.

    MLB got rid of the alternating leagues thing with the #1 pick a couple years ago I believe. The Padres and D-Backs drafted #1 overall in back-to-back years in '04 and '05, for example. Yes wasn't that the year after Prior's draft? Otherwise wouldn't we have picked first? No, the change started with the 2005 draft. Mauer-Prior was in 2001.

    It's rough in California too, Cubbies75.

    Billy Butler is the Royals' #2 prospect behind Alex Gordon and Butler's a top-25 prospect in all of baseball. He has great bat speed, pretty good plate discipline and he has an odd batting stance. He has a very high ceiling with his bat (power, average) and his defense has come a long ways this season (it used to be awful). He should be in the big leagues sometime next season.

    The game's on FOX. GO BEARS!! :D http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060910/capt.408adc5778d6477bb0c9e8b70f968598.bears_packers_football_wimg105.jpg

    Hawaii gets started on Oct. 1st, the AFL on Oct 10th.

    Camp got a 2-out basehit but that was it. Boise loses 6-4, Salem-Keizer wins the NWL. :(

    In the top of the 9th, Boise down 6-4: DJ Lewis Mario Mercedes Matt Camp
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Hawks score 4 in the 8th to make it 6-4. Clevenger was robbed of a game-tying extra basehit to end the inning. All runs were scored with 2 outs.

    Jake Renshaw's final line: 3 IP, 4 R, 3 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HR. Alessandro Maestri has been in the game since (we're in the bottom of the 6th...

    I am suprised that Gameday is broadcasting from the USC-Nebraska game instead of the LSU-Auburn game. That's dumb on Gameday's part.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Salem-Keizer has jumped all over Boise and Jake Renshaw, to the tune of a 6-0 lead in the bottom of the 5th.
