June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (Seymizzle @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 09:52 AM) The quote sounds similar to what Maurice Gartell's coach said about him the year he was drafted. And he was another guy who really fell as a senior in college. He was supposed to have really solid tools all around but playing at a school not known for baseball really hurt him. Might be the case here as well, plus, a lot of college seniors will fall because they don't have the dazzle of a prep player or maybe a juco guy that still has a bit more "upside" so to speak.
June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 11:15 AM) Isn't it pretty pointless following rounds 31-50? It seems like these guys don't even sign anymore. Without the "draft and follow" option anymore, I'm surprised the draft is this long anymore. Agreed. It seems like the only players that would sign this late are College Seniors or High School players who don't want to go to college. Most college juniors who get drafted will probably opt to go back for their senior year to raise their draft value. Seastrunk for example, he'll likely head back to try and improve his catching ability. If he proves he can stay behind the plate, he could likely be a top 10 round pick next year.
June 11, 200916 yr White Sox select another one of Kenny Williams' kids. What was the holdup? This one was Tyler a 3rd basemen. Edited June 11, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
June 11, 200916 yr Wow, looking at Casario's stats, he has some K concerns. Struck out over 60 times. However, I still like the pick as he seems like the type that can develop and maybe make it as a AAAA type of player or even a backup.
June 11, 200916 yr I'm also going to pay attention to our undrafted free agents in the upcoming weeks. Never know when another CJ Retherford will fall into our laps.
June 11, 200916 yr White Sox select Harold Baines. The son of The Harold Baines. A LF out of Mcdaniel College Edited June 11, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 12:02 PM) LOL, the kid's pretty good. We just drafted Harold Baines Jr. Who is next? Hawk Harelson III, or maybe Gene Honda, Jr. The Sox have to lead the league in nepotism when it comes to the draft.

June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) He's in college. You are correct, McDaniel College. White Sox select the son of scout Larry Monroe. Grant, a RHP. Edited June 11, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
June 11, 200916 yr Yankees just selected QB Pat White from West Virginia. No s***. We picked another scout's son.
June 11, 200916 yr Guy from Parkland College in Champaign, IL just got drafted. I believe they won their championship, whatever it is.
June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 11:05 AM) They all do it. Never Forget the Mike Piazza, 61st round pick by the Dodgers if you're angry about nepotism in the draft.
June 11, 200916 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 11:42 AM) Unless I'm nuts, he doesn't play in the big west I thought New Mexico State was still in the Big West, but I guess they moved out. They are now in the WAC, as of 2005.
