June 7, 200520 yr Veal is now off the board. Freaking Cubbies select him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never liked Donald Veal.

June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Haven't heard much on Moviel, I remember the Sox signed and drafted his brother Paul hoping to grab Greg. I think he left Vandy, not sure where he ended up.
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Veal is a southpaw that was drafted 2 years ago (I think it was 2 years back). He was thought of as one of the most talented southpaws in the draft but slid because he was pretty much a lock to go to University of Arizona. He went to UofA but his mom passed away and he ended up transferring to a junior college and has kicked ass there. Pretty good upside, imo. why did he transfer to a junior college?
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) I never liked Donald Veal. I let out a "damnit" when I heard Veal go to the Cubs. Luckily my dad is in the basement.

Hodges has flat raked, man would if of been nice if the Sox signed a couple of those guys. Its cool how Hodges broke his hammate and learned how to rake from the other side of the plate and is now a switch hitter. I remember you always loved Hodges. Are you sure Hodges is a switch hitter now? I'm a huge GT fan, and I watched all their regional games on ESPNU this week. Hodges batted righty the entire week. He is a great player though, and it will shock me if he doesn't become a MLB starter in his career. Edited June 7, 200520 yr by fathom
June 7, 200520 yr Too bad Hodges isn't there again... ;-) Veal has wanted to become a doctor <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he can help out that Cubs training staff.
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) why did he transfer to a junior college? If I recall he didn't pitch all that grand his freshman year and than when his mom died of cancer he went back closer to home. It may of even been when she was sick. He's supposed to be extremely start (wanted to be a doctor).

I know his senior year of high school he broke his hammate bone or something in one hand and started hitting the other way and was planning on switch hitting.
June 7, 200520 yr I'm appalled at all the HSers being drafted. It's killling the game. These kids are years away from contributing. They really should make an age limit.
June 7, 200520 yr Hey, when round two ends, can someone give maybe a top five list of "best available"?
June 7, 200520 yr Hell I don't think I heard Teagarden's name called (the Catcher). It goes too fast for me to hear other names still out there, lol.
June 7, 200520 yr I'm gonna throw a name out there -- what about Kenny Maiques, a JuCo pitcher from Cali? Ack -- did he get taken? I'm losing track... Edited June 7, 200520 yr by CWSGuy406
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) wharris...do you go to waubonsie??? bernatowics has had an awesome playoffs and i think the way our offense has come through we should do well...we have no bullpen except for mroczek...so hopefully we'll get to see bowden pitch on saturday. Nah I go to Naperville Central but I've been following Bowden all year and have been to 2 of his recent games, including the game yesterday. The guys that pitched between him and Bernatowicz sucked.

They really should make an age limit. Did this just turn into an NBA Thread? Isn't that why we have the minor leagues? So that even if people do draft high schoolers...and they're years away from contributing...teams have plenty of time to work with them?

June 7, 200520 yr Guys that have slipped: Taylor Teagarden (Catcher, but Borass) Jordan Danks, OF (high signability concerns, likely to go to college) Jacob Marceaux, RHP (HSer could have gone earlier, compared to Oswalt) Cody Satterwhite (RHP, HS, college commit) and Justin Bristow (HS SS)were also rated top 45 by BA.
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) The last pick I've gotten is #78, Cardinals. Are they on break or something? Yes it's a break

I doubt the Sox would grab Danks, but he's a freaking stud.
