June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) Why is Tanner Schepper still available? The MLB team doctors might have all seen something in his shoulder that scared them away. He tore his labrum i think last year right before the draft and dropped into the second round but didn't sign. Maybe it hasn't healed well
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) TAMU for Miller. I was reading Gibson's scouting report, and I see he doesn't throw hard. What's his story? He sits 92 with a plus slider (Major League caliber from what I've read). It's a sick pitch. He has good enough control not to walk guys, but his fastball is pretty straight. He needs to get some movement on his fastball and then I'll be sold on him, but until then I'm somewhat worried about him. I'm not worried about the injury, but it is notable. At 23, the potential might be too good to pass up, but it's not the Sox style to take a risky pick.

June 9, 200916 yr BA saying it might not be Brothers. If Brothers doesn't go here, he probably comes to the Sox. Arnett is damn near a lock to the Twins, imo. They want a pitcher and have watched him extensively and didn't think he'd be there. I could also see them going slot and taking Davidson, 3B, but I really see him going to the Angels.
June 9, 200916 yr #20. Toronto Blue Jays - Chad Jenkins, RHP, Kenesaw State University Sox pick after the Astros and Twins.
June 9, 200916 yr If the Astros don't take Brothers he's ours. Brothers is not a Twins kind of pitcher.
June 9, 200916 yr anyone else freaked out a little that there are people being drafted this year who were born in the 90's?

June 9, 200916 yr Don't you feel like Brothers is overrated? His strikeouts don't mean much considering his competition.
June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) anyone else freaked out a little that there are people being drafted this year who were born in the 90's? Yeah, i realize that people my age are making more money now then i will when im older.

I'm one of the younger posters on the board, so this is extra depressing, but hell my baseball dreams were crushed before High School.

June 9, 200916 yr This is awesome, cause I think there is a good outfielder there at 38. I love Brothers and the Sox like him too. He's our guy, barring the Astros or Twins gaffing it.

June 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) Don't you feel like Brothers is overrated? His strikeouts don't mean much considering his competition. Two plus pitches, taking plus velocity into the late innings of his games. Ya, I like him a lot. Wosre case he's a closer.

June 9, 200916 yr Ga Tech faces the best competition in NCAA, and Rex had the best stuff of anyone they faced all year.
June 9, 200916 yr Very nice...I want a pitcher and then root like hell for Mitchell/Williams/Trout to fall.
June 9, 200916 yr Wow, this is it guys. Come on, Twins. Follow your formula. Get a guy who throws strikes.
