I'm on the Heckathorn wagon now. Wow, The D-Backs are doing awesome.

Rockies take Brothers. The dream is over.

Comp round is starting in about a minute. Right off the bat i'll tell you the Marlins will not take Scheppers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) Thanks guys...now that Beckham got a hit, my faith is restored in Buddy Bell. That bust is still playing for us?

To Gordon Beckham. May this be the 1st of many.

Floyd's hand were getting dirtier by the minute. He got out while the going was good.

Let's try to get a consensus comp for Mitchell. We talking Granderson, Crawford, what?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) Since I don't have a draft tracker, whose on the clock now? And is there going to be a break at all? I want to know if I have time to drive home or if I should stay a little late to catch the Sox pick. 12 minute break till Comp Round.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Heckathorn is my projection for #38 I like that. Heckathorn is a hell of a pitcher. I'm all for it. (assuming Brothers is gone.)

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) Because they aren't as good as the people masquarading as experts around here think they are? Either that or signability I'd assume. You're just a ray of sunshine tonight, aren't you?

It looks like the Cubs are done with Tyler Colvin.

The Cubs really need a pitcher here.

Washington? What a weird draft. The Rays love tools even more then we do.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) Any chance for Brothers to be there at 38...? Don't you dare get my hopes up.

I'm hearing that the White Sox think "Mitchell has the highest upside of anyone in the draft", and that the A's had rated the kid highly.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) well how the hell do you kill crabs???? With my bare hands.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Brothers to the Yankees

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) The later rounds are much, much deeper than the first round. Besides the top 3-5, every pick is a crab shoot. Crab shoot?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) One game against the Rays running all over us and you will change your tune. The kid looks like he plays ball pretty well, .300+ avg, Sb's some power, good defense, that looks like a baseball player to me. Would you consider the Uptons, Crawford etc athletes or just baseball players? Jared Mitchell is not an Upton Brother. Not even close.

If we draft Chris Dominguez all will be forgiven.

The Angels sure do love OF's.

I won't deny that i'm very dissapointed, but Mitchell's a hell of an athlete.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) Maybe it will work out, have some faith. Nothing I hate more than fans that boo draft picks. This is why you are at home watching on television. Who are you? Dewayne Wise?

f***, f***, f***. How can we let an arm like that pass us by?
