Early Returns from our Top Draft Picks

[Guest AG/DC]

They seem more good than bad. Obviously it'd be nice to get our top pick showing his quality.

Wow, they've loaded Brooklyn with this year's high picks.

The one game I saw earlier that Niewenhuis kid looked like a player.

And with a name like Dock Doyle, he's a lock to make the big leagues as a catcher, right?

[Guest AG/DC]

Good Choo Choo Coleman post.

Won't somebody show some motherly love to Mike Hebert?

[metirish]

Mike is just a tad wild , of course he could be getting squeezed by the umps.


Dock Doyle is just such an old school baseball name , I imagine he has one of those twirly mustaches.

you know what i'd love someone to do - go through the drafts of the Minaya period and do that for each one for 2008.
that'd be a huge effort but really cool.

thanks who ever you are.

Its a particularly funny request coming from naked Morrissey.

In his defense, he hasn't got a stitch to wear. (That's also why he won't go out tonight.)

I wish. Fifteen walks was a season for Bret Saberhagen the second half of his career.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe it's been his misfortune to have faced an inordinately high number of midget batters thus far this season.

[Guest AG/DC]

Let's work backwards. I did 2008. Who wants to do 2007?

[duan]

Morrissey certainly won't. He's very busy.

Consider it done.

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

baseball reference.com shows that all of Haven's ABs have come as a DH thus far. Is that accurate? anyone know why not playing ss or 2b?

Check out the player threads in the Adopted Forums and you'll generally find out information on the different prospects.

According to his adoption thread, Havens has a strained right elbow and has been DHing to avoid throwing while it's rehabbing. He's currently out with a groin pull.
