Last years record.

So, how's that SS from UCLA, Crawford that is. He should be there around 8, but I still have hope for Smoak.

I wouldn't mind Jemile Weeks.

 

Younger brother of the Brewers' top prospect, Rickie. Like Rickie at a similar age, Jemile is still growing as a high school senior. He has a very good work ethic, but at this point in time seems rather diminutive. He shows good bat speed, and interesting gap power from both sides of the plate. He has very good speed on the basepaths and in the field. His size causes many to believe his future lies at 2B, but if he continues to grow he could stick at SS if his defensive tools improve. He has committed to play for the Miami Hurricanes, as this Weeks definitely won't be overlooked.

2B: Jemile Weeks

Miami, Fla.

Was one of the most talented players in the country as a freshman, hitting .352 with six homers and 40 RBI. Weeks slugged .555 and swiped 13 bases.

Here's also a quote from a great article about him:

 

At the same time, Jemile was building his own impressive resume in Florida. A natural middle infielder (Rickie played the outfield before he converted to second base), he displayed some nice glovework and hit .370 for Lake Brantley High School in 2003.

 

He didn't try to emulate his brother's power numbers at Southern, but instead wanted to construct his own identity. Rickie bats strictly from the right side, but Jemile thought his game would improve if he could switch-hit.

 

"If there is something that I think is nice, then I try to repeat it," Jemile said after Miami's 3-2 loss to Rice at Rosenblatt on Monday. "Other than that, the things he does I try to put into my own style. I try to do my own thing."

 

Jemile's style also relies on lightning-quick hands to hit line drives to all fields, play defense and lay down a bunt.

 

"They are different players," said Cador, who remains close to the Weeks family. "Rickie has more power and a strong arm. Jemile is a switch-hitter, sprays the ball more, bunts and is more advanced defensively. Their strengths are in different areas."

Well 8th isn't ideal by any means considering the season we had, and what we did in the past week, but that's in the past now, and we've still got a top 10 pick.

 

We should get a very good player from that spot hopefully.

Thank f***ing god we got 3 more worthless wins so we could draft 8th instead of 3rd. Playing like crap the entire season, only to have a 2 week period ruin our draft for next year is the icing on the cake.
