Cause I could not care less about the draft. Baseball draft is overrated. There are plenty of good players in round one. I want wins.

 

I remember you saying the same exact thing in 2007. I'll stick with Gordon Beckham and a few less meaningless wins.

Now who pitches?

Linebrink's gotta be next up right? Either him or Williams. The other long guys threw a couple innings yesterday.

 

Torres might be available actually...

Well hopefully this is the good Dotel

Cust is due

Yes but is there a guarantee we still could''nt have gotten Beckham? How do we know the team ahead of us a slot or two would have taken him?

I don't know why people don't get as mad at guys like Rios, Pena and the bad Dotel as I do. More people seem to be mad at Jermaine than those guys.

Have you seen the middle infield prospects of the Astros? No doubt they would have picked him instead of Castro. The Reds not taking Beckham right before us is one of the more shocking draft moments of this decade.

Ellis caught stealing nice

Beckham was a consensus top 10 pick. If we had been picking say 13th that year instead of 8th we don't get him.

Aj is really improving behind the plate. I wonder if they altered his throwing mechanics.

2008 was also one of the deepest drafts in history. Guys like Beckham and Smoak could have been top 2 picks in other years.

A W wold be nice now...how about a decent AB at least.

The Marlins made a huge reach on Kyle Skipworth. That and the Reds going with Alonso really shook things up.

OK, so what if we completely tanked and lost and lost and lost even more? Would we have taken somebody else OVER Beckham?

Yes, his name is Buster Posey.

LOL, I love how Hawk says WASTED. He was utterly disgusted with Pena too.

Tigers lost .

Yes, his name is Buster Posey.

 

I would've went with Pedro Alvarez. I still believe he'll be the best player from that draft. The power he's already dispalying in the minors is downright criminal.

Hey btw let's be sure to get rid of that Podsednik guy in the offseason.

Tigers lost .

We NEED to capitalize tonight. A loss and we might as well go fishing.

Can we get a 5 hit day?

Alexei's time has come.

Some great Ab's against the A's AAA pitching staff here.

His strikeout rates alarm me. If i were to do a top ten it would probably look like this

 

G Beckham

Posey

Wallace

Matusz

Castro

Weeks

Alvarez

Smoak

T Beckham

Lawrie

Give me a a gapper, AJ.
