Loadin up on catchers now. Sorry Blackwood.

 

 

He's not sweatin' yet!! haha

Another RHP. It's really frustrating that we've refused to do anything about the void in LHP's in our organization. Sale's great, but we're counting on him to start.

I don't know who to dislike more the Guillen children, or the man who raised them.

Bah! Mariners took Shipers. Great pick for them if he signs.

 

Mariners have taken alot of guys I liked.

Jack Z's fingerprints are all over this draft.

One of the more underreported stories is that Ozzie's wife went off on KW during the whole Oney fiasco.

I honestly think that if KW weren't so worried about what Jerry would do, then Ozzie would be long gone.

Looks like the only guy left I wanted is Cobey Guy. I'll tune in to see where he goes.. though I gotta leave at 4 pm.. :lol: so I guess around 10 when I come back on, I'll see where he goes if he isn't picked by 4.

It's very interesting to me that the Sox clearly didn't come out and tell the Guillen family that they wouldn't draft Ozney. Oney is clearly waiting for it to happen. If we don't end up taking him, this could get very interesting.

Sox pick Micheal Schwartz 1B

 

College position player. Older prospect (23 yrs old), easy sign.

I have it as Schwartz from U Tampa, the same school that Blanke went to.

You keep projecting Oney onto Ozzie. Yes they are close, yes they will share some views. But Oney is a different animal than Ozzie, from what I can tell. Oney can be pissed all he wants, and he will be, but I'm willing to be that Ozzie doesn't make a huge deal of it.

Oh, i don't think Ozzie will be hurt or anything. I just would have thought that word would have gotten out to the family for them not to hold their collective breaths.

Posters just don't give other posters time to edit things anymore. Should seriously be a 5 minute rule for that. :lol:

Ozzie needs to tell his kids to shut the f*** up.

I saw your post under construction and gave it some thought. Then i said, "screw it."

Sox are getting older collegiate players for easy sign the last few picks. Most about 22-23 years old.

They may have told Ozzie what their plan was - in fact I bet they did. Doesn't mean anyone told Oney, or that if they did, that Oney cared to listen.

You probably shouldn't assume the signability of these guys.

That would make sense. And really if Oney was my kid, i wouldn't tell him anything.

So a senior who can't be drafted again might just go on and find another field to live his life... I guess that could make alittle sense. But he doesn't have leverage to do anything other than find something else to do with his life.

 

Alright guys I'm out. I'll check out this thread later.
