QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 03:50 AM) So what's the scoop on Stetson Allie? I did read somewhere that he could possibly slip to the 2nd round despite possessing first round talent. It just doesn't appear that he will be able to stick as a starter. Broxton is a pretty easy comparison. All I know is he has an amazing scouting video. I bet he goes towards the end of the first round, with a possibility the Cubs take him if O'Connor goes to the Mets.

Terrible coaching by Rivers sticking with Garnett. Rasheed Wallace has played significantly better than Garnett tonight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:59 AM) Plus we haven't made a "safe" pick for four years now. Really if you look at it, we have taken safe players (meaning low ceiling college pitchers) only a few times. Thinking back to guys like Fields and Borchard that were projects, Gio and Honel were HS pitchers, throw in Brian Anderson. I know there is Broadway and McCollough, but that is about it. Exactly, it's our starting pitchers we drafted early that were too safe...and it's looking to be that way again this year. Reading the stuff about Loux on ESPN Insider, they basically said he needs work on 3 of his pitches in order to possibly be a mid-rotation starter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) It's looking like a foregone conclusion that one of Wilson/Ranaudo will be available at #13. So Wilson/Ranaudo will be available at #14 as well

SheWill doing his best Jay Cutler impression at the end of the half. Celtics might as well be losing with how disturbed they look after how the 1st half ended.

Kobe with an absolute joke of a game. After having 5 assists in the first quarter, he's not passed the ball once in the second quarter and is complaining even more than usual.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 01:40 AM) Mayo's latest mock draft says Barret Loux from Texas A&M. Based on what I've seen, he projected more as a late 1st to mid 2nd, but his stock has risen lately as he's had some strong outings against good talent. 11-2 2.60 ERA 104 IP 75 hits allowed 33 BB 136 Ks .197 BA against Not a fan at all. No plus pitches, as his curve is inconsistent and fastball sits in the 90 mph range. He's also had a lot of injuries in the past.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 12:27 AM) Taylor Jungmann vs. Anthony Rendon right now in the Texas/Rice game. Now that's a match-up. 2011 is going to be good. Keith Law was raving about G. Cole last night.

Does Workman throw a 2 seamer? With his 16-2 G/FO ratio last game, I wasn't sure.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 12:40 AM) Preview show starts at 5, Nats should be on the clock at 6. CST you're referring to, right?

So does the actual draft start at 5 tomorrow, or is the first pick a little later?

BTW, just told that no Sox scouts were at Deck McGuire's outing last night. Just an FYI

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) Robbie Aviles has some pretty bad timing just went down with a partial tear of a ligament in his elbow. Max's brother?

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:31 PM) Curve is plus. Some have it as plus-plus. Cutter may have plus potential too. It certainly looked good when I watched him. Workman's 6'5", 225. That's not a durable frame? Durability with the fastball, I meant.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) Is that Better? yes, thank you

It would be a lot nicer picking in the 9-10 range instead of 13, especially since the Reds have a lot of the needs we have.

Does Workman even have any plus pitches? At least Wojo has two plus pitches and durability.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) Do you think the Red Sox would take Danks for Lowell, or do we have to butter them up with Hudson too? What? Is this serious?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:21 PM) I guess our franchise wants to transform into the Baltimore Orioles of the AL Central. I am so glad that we have Lance Broadway III waiting in the wings. Let's just hope whoever we draft doesn't get interviewed by Hawk and Stone and say that he loves to backdoor guys.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) Nice two way-player. I can't decide whether i'd want him to pitch or hit. Any thoughts? Sox would probably want him to pitch, but there's some that think he's a first round talent on offense now.

A wild card might be Eibner from Arkansas.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) I keep hearing comparisons to Braun and Markakis, his college career has had its ups and downs, but I 'd argue that his ceiling is pretty respectable. And a few injuries this season slowed him down.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) I was sold on Brentz, but the more i read and hear, it'll be a pitcher. I'll go Workman. He'll suck. Hopefully someone like Brentz is so high up on their board, they can't pass him up.

So who is everyone's prediction? I'm torn between Wojo and Workman, but I think it's going to be Wojo.

GT is going to get offers from the SEC and Big 10, but look for them to choose the SEC.
