June 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 11:51 AM) There goes Chad Tracy (son of the Pittsburg manager, Jim Tracy) to Texas. Very good pick. Tracy is a pretty damn good catching prospect.
June 6, 200619 yr Was LaPorta hampered by injuries this year? His numbers this year are pretty poor -- I think he has something like 15 homers, but only a couple of doubles...
June 6, 200619 yr I want Jared Hughes out of Long Beach State. Really good stuff and he's been falling.
June 6, 200619 yr The Nats picked Stephen King -- described as an extremely athletic kid who has been injured and hasn't put up the numbers quite yet. That's the type of pick I sort of like right now. That's not to say I don't like the Sox picks so far (I'm pretty happy right now), but I like the toolsy type player right now.
June 6, 200619 yr Heads already has McCullouch's phone number. Jesus. (13:58:17) aernst022: if all else fails (13:58:21) aernst022: we facebook/myspace (13:58:21) aernst022: haha
June 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) Sox select Matthew Long, P, Miami Univ (f*** you, MU, get a new goddamn name Miami University was a school before Fla was a state. Plus there were no Miami Indians in Fla. Morons down there.

King was a guy the Nats considered in RD 1 apparently so I think they are happy taking him there. I really like Long. On a sidenote, we will be working on landing some interviews as Heads has already gotten in contact with the top 2 picks of the Sox. Heads is uber wise.

June 6, 200619 yr Would the Sox really take three pitchers, when they're MIF/C prospects are so weak? Three guys to look at still on the board: Walden, Betances, and Jason's guy, Hughes.

June 6, 200619 yr Jordan Walden is still available. He would be a great value pick this late. He has a commitment to Texas, but was expected to be drafted in the first 2 rounds so most didn't think he would go to the 'Horns.

I think BA projected the Cubs as taking him with their first pick. If baseball doesn't work out for him, I'm should being a novelist might pay the bills.
June 6, 200619 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) We need some position players. Don't you know!!!! We're loading up on pitchers so we can trade for Griffey Jr.

Three guys to look at still on the board: Walden, Betances, and Jason's guy, Hughes. HUGHES is good and I like taking guys coming from good schools who do a good job with pitchers (LONG BEACH STATE IS THAT). Walden is good too.

June 6, 200619 yr "a finess pitcher who rarely touches 90 but also rarely allows a hit" Edited June 6, 200619 yr by thomsonmi
June 6, 200619 yr Did the college pitcher, the closer from Arizona (not sure if it was ASU or Az) get drafted yet? I know he had some elbow concerns.
