DaTank Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 11:55 AM) Maybe KW has a good relationship with the Thompson family? The only negative I heard about our first day picks was that some think Mitchell was going to be there at 38, and Phegley there for our 3rd pick. Oh well, I'm sure someone we think will be good will suck, and vice versa. Personally, I would have went with Tyler Skaggs or Everett Williams in the Comp A round. We probably could have gotten Phegley in the 3rd (maybe even the 4th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hopps is older, but he wasn't converted to the mound until he was a sophmore in college and than missed most of the 2007 season due to injuries. Was healthy in 08 and 09 and pitched good. Huge build, a lot of raw potential and a big arm. Looks like a potential reliever. Awesome build, good raw stuff. Not overly excited, but nothing wrong with this pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit a lot of catchers stayed on the boards for a while, at the same time, Phelgey wasn't a prep catcher so I think he'd have been gone sometime in the 2nd.

I'll say this, California is a good place to be scouting. We tend to draft a lot of guys out of here as well. And it is a breeding grounds for good baseball players. Texas and Florida as well.

Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 f***....why isn't there any good tracker. BA is off by like 3 rounds and than I go to mlb's non flash version and its apparently off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 http://goldpanners.com/blog/?p=307 Article on our 10th round selection. More about him playing in the Alaskan league than his baseball skills. Sounds like a pretty good pure average hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 His Coach on Pioli: “That doesn’t surprise me,” Lindsey Meggs, Indiana State baseball coach said. “Nick has all the tools that you look for in the pros. He can hit, hit with power, run and throw. We expect him to have a big year in 2009.” Another article on Pioli, who was the 2008 Alaskan Summer League player of the year. Sounds like we got ourselves a good baseball player here. Who knows if he makes it or not, but he should be able to rake short season ball. http://www.tribstar.com/ISU/local_story_214232837.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Well I would for sure help you out in anyway possible, but those guys do not think so fond of me after I decided to quit, so an interview would probably be out of the question. I'll be able to put together a little scouting report after I get off work, but he's the definition of a baseball grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Well, I just got home from work, but my first thoughts are that the 2nd day has been a bit disappointing so far. I like the Buch pick a lot, but other than that it seemed like we reached a lot, and didn't take a chance on any of the big guys that fell b/c of signability issues. On second glance, this Jones kid could be a good get if he signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colligan, the 12th rounder, is a big power, lower contact guy. His stats reek of metal bat power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
