Yuck, Rays fans are like Jets fans, except their franchise is f***ing horribler.

Really? Jets fans would differ lol.

6th pick is Skipworth.

 

Maybe the Reds could take Alonso, leaving us with a lot in our lap.

And Skip-iddy-do-da is off the board. The Reds will take Beckham and we'll be sitting pretty with Smoak available at 8.

the guy can flat out hit, I truly think he will be a huge offensive threat.

 

That explanation would be fine if you said, "I like Wallace" but you said "...Wallace over Smoak?" Can't the same explanation be used for Smoak? Why do you think Wallace will be better?

 

Somebody- convince me Wallace would be the better pick over Smoak.

 

BTW, Marlins/Rays World Series in 2011.

smoaks got more power potential....wallace is a safer bet to hit with average and probably has a slightly better eye...

 

smoak is huge and switch hits though, but on the downside he only plays 1st.....wallace theres a chance he stays at third, but probably gonna be 1b long term

OK, so, 2 of these three will be available at the 8th slot, if not all three; Smoak, Wallace, G Beckham.

 

please take wallace over smoak.

They tend to take guys they've zoned in on.

really I don't do it for you? smoak equals travis Lee.

Welp, Crow/Smoak/Wallace/Alonso will be available.

Wow, I've been watching Smoak for the last couple years here at the University of South Carolina and this kid can do amazing things, also, he's very humble and comes from a great family background. HUUGE article about him in the paper today.

please take wallace over smoak.

ORLY?

 

You're one of the few I've heard suggest this.

We're next- finally.

 

I'm leaning, and hopefully KW is too, toward Smoak.

Really guys, I just watched him play thats it. So small sample.

Watching some hi-lights of Smoak, he reminds me of Jay Bruce.

You just want the next Brian Anderson, don't you?

Justin Smoak! Justin Smoak! Justin Smoak!

 

"Now batting for the Barons...number 12...Justin Smoak!"

 

I want to hear that, otherwise I'll campaign for the Barons to change affiliations ASAP! In 2009 of course.
