From Hoopsworld, John Paxson, General Manager of the Chicago Bulls, will be rewarded for his due diligence this upcoming weekend when the Bulls host a workout featuring Stanford's Josh Childress, Arizona's Andre Iguodala and Nevada's Kirk Snyder. Luol Deng could be a late entry as well, but all four players are under consideration by the Bulls, with the player having the best workout being the most likely to be taken with the team's first round pick this summer.

No we won't, we've got 5 picks in the top 65, and we want to sign them all. Expect us to go college pitching a lot because they are easier to sign.

$5.3 million.

Yankees don't hav a 1st round pick. They gave that up when they signed Paul Quantrill from the Dodgers. They mite hav a 2nd, but afta what happened with his brother, I'd doubt he'd want to play for the Yanks.

Look if the Dodgers don't pick him in the 1st round at 17 or 28, I can't see another team picking Jered Weaver in the 1st round. This reeks of the Rick Ankiel situation of a few years ago, and look at Ankiel now.

From the Beaver County Times, Rumors and rumblings The Chicago White Sox have interest in trading for Pirates right-hander Kris Benson. The White Sox could center an intriguing offer around Class AAA Charlotte outfielder Jeremy Reed.

It's official, Matt Bush will be the #1 pick. From BA, With less than a week to go, the Padres zeroed in on Florida State shortstop Stephen Drew with the No. 1 pick. Then they were stopped cold when owner John Moores abruptly decided that San Diego wouldn't exceed Major League Baseball's recommended bonus for the No. 1 slot, believed to be in the neighborhood of $3.5 million. That took Drew out of play and sent the Padres to local Mission Bay High shortstop Matt Bush, who signed for $3.1 million on Sunday. Drew and Long Beach State righthander Jered Weaver, also once under consideration to go first overall, are tumbling down the first round and could slide all the way through.

Suprised one of these threads hasn't come up sooner. Rowand scored 2 runs and drew a walk in last nite's game I think and Gload pinch hit for a key RBI. Things won't change for a week at least, giv Borchard another week to get hot once again at Charlotte.

No trades allowed in the MLB Draft. Projected to be around when we 1st pick at 18 is Josh Fields a third baseman, David Purcey LHP and B.J Syzmanski an outfielder from Princeton. I think we'll take Fields personally if he's still on the board.

"I wonder if they've still got that shampoo I like!"

Looks like the Padres hav their man, from BA, Our story Sunday morning concerning San Diego now looking at shortstop Matt Bush looks like the real deal, as sources have the Padres and Bush agreeing to a pre-draft deal for $3.1 million as the No. 1 overall selection. Where this leaves Stephen Drew and Jered Weaver remains one of the great mysteries, as both could plummet into the lower half of the first round.

Use this pic for Homer

With a higher average, he always seem to be gettin clutch hits.

I could see it coming.

I guess this can be the "Official" Draft Thread. A Mod can change the name of the thread if they want. I'm prob gonna stay up tonite and see who we draft, it's on bout 2 or 3 a.m my time.

Any chance we can get Danny Kolb off em.

People are entitled to their opinions though. I don't think it's very fair for sox-r-us to call out other posters just because of that.

I've seen polls where most ppl think they won't last a week. Not sure if u can get a divorce that quick though, but look at the Britney Spears situation.

Here's the b****in bout Koch thread dude. Koch Thread

Hi Billy, sorry I thought u were at an AA meetin or sumthin.

Latest update from BA: 1) Padres - Stephan Drew still the fav but Padres don't won't to giv him a bonus like Richie Weeks got from the Brewers. Local boy Matt Bush could now be the pick. 2) Tiggies - If Drew drops, they'll snap him up. Othawise they'll take Justin Verlander or Homer Bailey. 3) Mets - If Verlander drops, Mets will take him. Othawise it'll be Phillip Humber. 4) D-Rays - SS Chris Nelson is the fav., which is weird considerin they already hav B.J Upton. Otha options include Rice boy Niemann or Wade Townsend. 5) Brewers - If Humber is still on the board, they'll take him. If he isn't, they'll take righty Mark Rogers.

Jason Schmidt and Barry Bonds are single handledly keepin the Gaints in the NL West division race rite now.
