June 9, 200916 yr Leake's far better than Minor, but White has better upside. That said I like Leake more than most. Still, White has such a good arm.
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 03:38 PM) i wouldn't be suprised to see Sheppers either. Scheppers ain't going here. Crow might, but I think they go with one of the prep arms, maybe White.
June 9, 200916 yr If the Tigers get White, I'm going to be sick. He has fantastic stuff, just needs to refine it like Daniel Bard.
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (longshot7 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Thank god I don't have to hear Selig pronounce Cincinnati again. cincinnata
June 9, 200916 yr Glad they took Turner. He could be good, but I don't think he is going to be great. Played against weak competition -- very weak.

June 9, 200916 yr Strasburg is lucky he has so much talent, otherwise, he'd just be a really weird looking kid
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) I'm surprised how much Tyler Matzek is falling. Anyone else? Not really... he stated he wants to get record money for a high school player.
June 9, 200916 yr Turner is the top prep RHP in the country. Tigers got great value here but will have to pay a lot. The more MLB ready guys like Crow/Scheppers get past them though. The more of those guys fall, the more likely a team like the Cards takes one of them (or one of the top preps) giving the sox a shot at Brothers.
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) Not really... he stated he wants to get record money for a high school player. It's very much like what happened with Denard Span in 2002. Do not be suprised to see Matzek plummet.

June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) but I also don't think Gibson asks for as much money, imo. Pretty confident he won't. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) If the Tigers pick Crow, I will puke. I know, I was so happy to see the Tigers not take a Mizzou guy.
June 9, 200916 yr This draft is shaping up to get really interesting directly after the A's pick. All hell is going to break lose.
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:46 PM) Nats selected Drew Storen. Wow, overdraft? No, they had to go cheap there, and Storen is a good arm.
June 9, 200916 yr So much for us getting Storen at 23. He really rose up a lot in the last few days. And, btw, Dan mentioned it earlier, but the clapping after every pick is really annoying me.
