BA says it'll be an outfielder, so we'll see whose right.

If what I heard was right they should be excited cause I dont' think anyone expected Brothers or Arnett there, let alone both.

Now this makes it interesting. They like both. I still think they go Brothers, but they really like Arnett too.

Just watch, I've been spot on all draft and this is the pick I'll miss. The one where I have inside info, haha.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:50 PM) Jason, how confident are you that Sox like Brothers/Arnett more than the outfielders? Pretty confident. No guarantee though. Iv'e heard they liked Brothers from day one.

Brothers will be there.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) Don't you feel like Brothers is overrated? His strikeouts don't mean much considering his competition. Two plus pitches, taking plus velocity into the late innings of his games. Ya, I like him a lot. Wosre case he's a closer.

This is awesome, cause I think there is a good outfielder there at 38. I love Brothers and the Sox like him too. He's our guy, barring the Astros or Twins gaffing it.

Brothers will be there. Twins won't take him. Astros might, but I really doubt it.

BA saying it might not be Brothers. If Brothers doesn't go here, he probably comes to the Sox. Arnett is damn near a lock to the Twins, imo. They want a pitcher and have watched him extensively and didn't think he'd be there. I could also see them going slot and taking Davidson, 3B, but I really see him going to the Angels.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) Nicely done...BA blog? Nope. I've been doing nothing but reading the draft for months, but BA has been pretty spot on as well. They missed on a couple though that I had...muahaaaa. That said the BA blog confirmed what I had been thinknig about the Cards and Miller. BA is very good as long as you take it for what it is and make your opinions based upon there stuff.

In fact, I think the Twins will take Arnett, thus leaving the Sox with Mitchell or Everette. Thats how it is going to go down. Not sure ont he Astros. Jiovani Mier is who they've been tied to and they don't seem interested in Everett.

Gibson gets up to 94-95. Miller is going to the Cards, Brothers will go to the Jays. Arnett will be there when the Sox pick and will be there selection, unless the Twins take him.

This is probably where Brothers goes, but I still say Cards are one of those teams that might think twice and go best available and grab Miller. But I'd be shocked if it was anyone other than those two guys.

Is Miller a UT committ? I assume so?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) Sure seems like we should have our choice of guys who dropped. No lock, but I think one of the four guys the Sox are targeting will be there: Brothers/Arnett/Mitchell/Everette My guess is they are no longer interested in Trout.

Brothers probably goes to the Cards, but I don't know if they expected Miller to be there. Otherwise it'll be Brothers.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) signability? He's asking for a lot of dough, but a top 12 talent.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) Shelby Miller might be there. If he gets past Florida, a good chance, although with the new stadium deal he might be a good pick here, I think the Cards gobble him up. Cards are also very high on Brothers. Marlins like Arnett a bit too and the Kennesaw State boys.

Solid set of picks by the Dbacks. If the Marlins want to spend, Miller would be a great fit and definately goes with there overall scouting philosphy. If they want to go cheaper, they go Chad James, imo.

Ya, I don't think Gibson is a tough sign, so he might still be a possibility, otherwise I'm thinking Pollack.

They'll go with an easy sign, thats for certain. Them and the Angels have the most picks in the draft.

I think Gibson might go here, its about the only place he'd go, otherwise I see him falling outside of the top 25, maybe even the 1st round, although the Cubs might go the value route on him. Pollack is a definate possibility as well.

The thing is, most every way I saw the draft shaking out I saw Brothers/Arnett off the board, which than put the Sox at taking the prep outfielder and than the guy from OU or someone similar.

An outfielder and a pitcher will go off the board in the next two picks to the DBacks, but they also like Borchering.
