A D2 guy going early. Thats interesting.

 

They pretty well trashed the pick on the MLB network. I was kinda surprised.

But Gammons tried to stick up for the Cubs personnel director

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 01:35 AM)
Keith Law has Sale ranked as the #47 prospect in the draft.

Also has him listed as a RHP. Scouting is not always complete.

Oddly enough, Matt Thornton was a 1st round pick out of D2 Grand Valley State.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 01:36 AM)
Chris? Or Josh? And why are their last names pronounced differently? lol

Josh Sale is of Samoan descent. I guess that's why it's pronounced differently? :s

Haha, I like how we drafted BA's #4 prospect. Wonder just why he dropped.

He would have gone #5 to the Indians if Pomeranz was off the board.

Yeah, I saw that, but the actual scouting report lists him as a LHP. Not that Keith Laws evaluations should carry a lot of weight as I think he is one of the biggest hacks in the scouting biz.

 

I think the next pick will be a high ceiling position player a la Trayce Thompson.

Twins supposedly love Wimmers

s***, the team I hate the most (Red Sox), took the player that went to Ball State (where I am going to college next year). SOAB.

Red Sox and Angels can have a huge draft if they are willing to spend in the next 50 picks are so.

Hopefully the Angels go out and get some good players to play for their A team here since half the team will probably be gone in the second half. I will sure miss watching Trout play.

Not a fan of Big 10 pitchers

I like Wimmers. Haters gon' hate.

 

jimcallisBA

Wimmers fits Twins mold, polished pitcher. Don't underrate his stuff. He's not close to a finesse guy. 1 minute ago via UberTwitter
