One of Beato/Bard will be there when the Sox pick. QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) I bet the Sox pick somebody under the radar, watch. Duh and we will all start cursing. Its how the draft works

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) Angels dont take him BoSox could use pitching and the Dodgers take Morris. Beato could go to the BoSox as could Bard and so could both since they are the two picks standing in our way.

Angels nab a catcher: Heng Choi Conger Dodgers could take Bard or they could go with Morris.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:26 AM) See if the Angels nab Bard here. Money is not an issue with the Angels, so my guess is they take Bard. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:25 AM) damn. I was hoping Ian Kennedy might still be around for the Sox. We wouldn't have signed him. I like Kennedy more than most, but he has had a lot of issues this year (loss of velocity and a downright mediocre season). Mix that with Boras' demands and its totally a Yankee type pick, but not a wise one for the Sox.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:23 AM) Kennedy goes to the yanks. Before the year they'd have been thrilled if they were told they would nab Kennedy. But this is a bit of a reach.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:23 AM) Does anybody thing Daniel Bard could slip to the Sox? It would be sweet to let him work as a reliever for us down to stretch to save innings and bring him up in Sept. Lets not get too giddy, someone will snag him before us (think Anaheim). You also have UCLA's lefty who I'm quite high on. If he slides wowza.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:22 AM) Just talked to my source, and he said Colvin was ranked the 130th best prospect in this draft. He also said Perez has some "make-up" problems also (and not in the cosmetic way). He's a boozer and has had weight issues.

Sinkbeil goes at 19 to the Marlins. Pretty good collegiate pitcher out of Missouri State

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Any scouting report on him? Ya, he's a guy both Dan and I liked as a Sox pick. He's a little less toolsy version of Drew stubbs. Here's this from one of FutureSox's writeups: Tyler Colvin, OF, Clemson Season Stats (259 AB): .359, 22 2B, 12 HR, 65 RBI, 59 R, 27 BB, 39 K, 23 SB Colvin is a late riser in this year’s draft as he has been one of the hottest hitters in the college season down the stretch. He’s 14-35 (.400) in the ACC Tournament and NCAA Regional, both of which his Tigers won, and has a 23 game hitting streak going. He has no glaring weaknesses, but also no standout strengths. He is a solid player who should be a fast riser in the minors. He should be available when the Sox pick, but if the Sox pass on him he will probably fall in the supplemental round or early 2nd round.

14. Jays - Snider 15. Nats - Christopher Marrero 16. Brewers - Jeremy Jefress

Holy s***, the Cubs took Colvin really early.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:15 AM) Scherzer to the dbacks. Makes a lot of sense. Dbacks are doing a lot of good things.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:14 AM) yeah Radio usually is just a giant conference call.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:13 AM) No, MLB has the same guy doing all of the picks. Thats on the video version right?

I spoke too soon. Dodgers take a different high school pitcher, Clayton Kershaw. Since my f***ing radio isn't working, is Tommy doing the draft call like usual?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:10 AM) He's going to start to get expensive soon though, isn't he? This is what his 3 year up, so they still hold onto him for another few years. That said your right, he will start costing them a bit more money, but the Tigers haven't been afraid to spend.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:08 AM) miller verlander zumaya wont be fun in 3 years Don't forget Bondy QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:09 AM) 4 of the top 5 college righties....no high schoolers to go yet If Drabek isn't taken early, a high schooler won't go in the top 15.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 10:08 AM) Miller at 6. f***ing Tigers, taking another really really top of the line arm.

Any suggestions, I keep getting it to buffer and than nothing on mlb (with either video or radio) yet I have mlb.tv and that has worked fine on IE. Lincoln @ 4

Hochy is selected.

Last second mock of the top 10 from BA: 1. KC--Luke Hochevar 2. Col--Greg Reynolds 3. TB--Evan Longoria 4. Pit--Brad Lincoln 5. Sea--Brandon Morrow 6. Det--Clayton Kershaw (but this is the first possible stop for Andrew Miller, too) 7. LAD--Bryan Morris 8. Cin--Drew Stubbs 9. Bal--Billy Rowell 10. SF--Daniel Bard Is mlb's live draft thing working for anyone yet?

More predraft deals done: 2. Rockies will give Stanford righthander Greg Reynolds $3.25 million 3. Devil Rays will pay Long Beach State third baseman Evan Longoria $3 million 4. Pirates will dole out $2.75 million to Houston righthander Brad Lincoln.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:49 AM) So, has the draft even started yet? Can I get a link with updated live picks? (Sorry to fill this thread up with dumb questions) 1st pick is in 9 minutes. Check out mlb.com

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) I don't know if this has been discussed, but Miller's people are trying to get him to slip to the Cubs, as they know they'll have tons of money to spend on him (they don't have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round pick). Ya, they want Miller to get major bucks and are really trying to push him to the Cubs.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) BTW, how long do you get during the pick? not sure on the exact time, but the draft moves insanely fast. I think they take a break after 10 rounds.
