so your Commodores will have three top 10 picks in the two years? Alvarez is the clear #1 for next year right?

hes the early favorite, but that type of thing changes so fast and he could drop if he signs boras, it all depends....but he and smoak from south car. seem like the 1 and 2 college players right now....whats unbelievable about him is his batting eye so early in his college career

Just for fun, I'll list my useless draft board.

1. BAP (Best Available Pitcher among Josh Smoker, Michael Main, Madison Bumgarner, Porcello)

2. Nevin Griffith (Most likely available at #25)

3. Matt LaPorta

4. Joe Savery (has recently begun to hit 95mph. Yes, he's a Rice pitcher; but before the season began he was a Top 10 selection.)

1. David Price-Tampa Bay

2. Mike Moustakas-Kansas City

3. Josh Vitters-Chicago Cubs

4. Daniel Moskos-Pittsburgh

5. Matt Wieters-Baltimore

6. Ross Detwiler-Washington

7. Matt LaPorta-Milwaukee

8. Casey Weathers-Colorado

9. Jarrod Parker-Arizona

10. Madison Bumgarner-San Francisco

He's a mid first round talent that moved up due to signability concerns of a few of the high schoolers. He's also not a high ceiling guy like experts were saying the Nationals would go after.

 

He's not a #1, but he's got a good chance to be a #2. Good fastball, slider, an change.

 

I have heard Schmidt's named being mentioned with the Mariners.

I'd like to see a video shot of our draft room. I'm guessing it's two people sitting in front of a chalk board in the furnace room of USCF. With a 56K connenction alllowing them an opportunity to keep up with the picks on Soxtalk.

Praying for one of Moroscato, Main or Porcello being available at 25. Anyone of them would give us a great athlete with great makeup and a damn good future.

Nick Schmidt reminds me of the type of guy we usually pick.

agreed 100%....although even though he is a more "polished" pitcher, i like the fact that he throws a + changeup already....i dunno maybe its just the white sox, but every time we face a lefty with a good change we never hit it

if only aumont could of fell to 25 :crying

love your Bears sig.

Is Ozzie going to say that the draft is unethical because latinos can't be drafted?

1. David Price-Tampa Bay

2. Mike Moustakas-Kansas City

3. Josh Vitters-Chicago Cubs

4. Daniel Moskos-Pittsburgh

5. Matt Wieters-Baltimore

6. Ross Detwiler-Washington

7. Matt LaPorta-Milwaukee

8. Casey Weathers-Colorado

9. Jarrod Parker-Arizona

10. Madison Bumgarner-San Francisco

11. Phillippe Aumont-Seattle

 

 

I was hoping Aumont would fall through the cracks... too bad.

Marlins are good for selecting pitchers. I have a bad feeling Michael Main will be off the board.

"Was it worth the wait?"

 

"Well, no"

His first language is French. Too bad you weren't quick enough to pick that up from a name like Philippe Aumont...

southsider was quick there. That's a good pick at 12.

While there have been wildcard selections in the first round, there hasn't been any projected sandwich picks falling into the first. We need a few of these for someone to fall into our lap.

My guess-Indians take Porcello; further complicate things for the Sox.

Edited by southsida86

I hope Porcello falls to us. :)

I doubt Porcello gets past Texas.

what does calling him a dope have to do with what language he speaks?
