June 7, 200520 yr Jason -- since you get a lot of San Diego news, is Sandy Alderson going to have a hand in the Padres draft yet, or will that not happen until next year?
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) Yeah, Jim, I'll do my best. Before it starts -- lots of people like Cliff Robinson, the UofI catcher, going to the Sox in round four or five? Can anyone talk about him a little bit? Good defensively? Bad? Power guy? Plate discipline? CHRIS Robinson. Great arm, good defensively, a little inconsistent at the plate, but a good leader and game-caller. Has decent power. Projects to hit a bit like Taylor Teagarden but a tad below in terms of defense. Not as highly hyped and ballyhoo'ed as Teagarden. First pick is delayed because the Yanks aren't on the conference call yet.
June 7, 200520 yr THey just said the Yankees are late so they cant start it yet. Theres the first one Upton is the 1st pick by the D-backs.

I'm sure he's been around it, but there is no way he's going to hvae much of a call on this years draft. He got there just too late. Now he'll be involved but not majorly. Upton was just drafted #1 overall as the draft finally starts. It started late because the Yanks weren't there for the roll call.
June 7, 200520 yr Gordon is a real good pick. Total stud of a hitter. The mariners pick will be an interesting one because they are looking at two guys the Sox would love to have fall to them. Jeff Clement has been selected 3rd overall (I didn't want him).
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Mariners select Jeff Clement, C, USC. Yay! Not goin' to the Sox! Sweet... I was hoping he wouldn't last.

June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Addison this is by far the slowest MLB draft I have seen also :-). I can't believe what I'm watching right now. I have a call into Paul Tagliabue
June 7, 200520 yr Wow, Braun goes off the board. I tell you one thing its too bad this crop of college 3rd baseman weren't around last year cause they are all better than Josh Fields (not a knock on Fields, more so these 3 guys are very very talented). Braun is the 1st Miami player to go in the 1st RD, Carillo will be the next.
