Oh, f*** you White Sox. f*** YOU.

Please, Please, Please. The choice can be no other, be my Brothers.... lover?

White Sox draft room looks both packed and mellow.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) 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. You're doing oustanding so far. Let's hope your luck continues.

Twins select Kyle Gibson. Great pick for them, moment of truth for us.

I do wonder how high the Sox value the toolsy guys we've been hearing about

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:49 PM) sounds like Arnett to the Twinkies Damn good pick for them too.

Wow, this is it guys. Come on, Twins. Follow your formula. Get a guy who throws strikes.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) Don't you feel like Brothers is overrated? His strikeouts don't mean much considering his competition. That kind of stuff doesn't grow on trees. He'll be filthy if Perdew and Coop can work with him.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) anyone else freaked out a little that there are people being drafted this year who were born in the 90's? I'm one of the younger posters on the board, so this is extra depressing, but hell my baseball dreams were crushed before High School.

If the Astros don't take Brothers he's ours. Brothers is not a Twins kind of pitcher.

Blue Jays take Chad Jenkins! YEAHHHH!! Come on, Brothers. Come on, Brothers.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) Why is Tanner Schepper still available? Injury and Money concerns.

Nolan Ryan loves Shelby Miller

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) Oakland going to take Green? Great call.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) Oakland going to take Green? After picking Weeks and trading for Cardenas last year?

Royals with a great pick. Wow, if Melville pans out too they're going to be stacked.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) I'm not familiar with Span's story? Was he a top guy going into the draft but wanted huge money? Span was supposed to be drafted out of High School as the ninth pick in the 2002 draft by the Colorado Rockies. A couple of hours prior to the start of the draft Span’s agent announced that he wouldn’t take any less than 2.6 million for the kid. Span plummeted down to the Twins at 20.

Rockies selected Tyler Matzek. The regime has clearly changed, in the past, they never would have taken a high money gamble like Matzek

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:47 PM) No, they had to go cheap there, and Storen is a good arm. I think you're right actually. The money issue is significant enough that an arm like Storen is a sound draft.

This draft is shaping up to get really interesting directly after the A's pick. All hell is going to break lose.

Nats selected Drew Storen. Wow, overdraft?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) Not really... he stated he wants to get record money for a high school player. It's very much like what happened with Denard Span in 2002. Do not be suprised to see Matzek plummet.

Strasburg is lucky he has so much talent, otherwise, he'd just be a really weird looking kid

Tigers pick Jacob Turner. Bit of a suprise but a nice arm.
