    Didn't we draft a Puffer before? I hope we score Smoker.

    Ah, sorry. I don't watch the NFL (or the draft), so I hadn't seen that, yet somehow I still know exactly who Kiper is and am pretty sure he's a loud-mouth.

These events have proved invaluable to the college coaching community and major league baseball as they can scout a large population of talented ball players all in one location."

    That loud-mouthed football guy who knows more than every NFL GM and scout that ever lived combined. The kid Porcello finally goes at 27 to the Tigers.
  5. A Boy Named Seo
    I like Keith Law, and BA's Jim Callis, and the other guy with the beard. All seem to be real knowledgeable guys with lots of information and no Mel Kiper arrogance.

    23 picks in and that kid still waits. Mets have taken hard-throwing right-handed college pitchers #1 what, 4 out of the last 5 drafts? Wonder if they get a dude like Andrew Brackman, a 6'10" baseball/basketballer from NC State or James Simmons from UC-Riverside.

    What is the "PG" hat most of the HS kids are wearing in their stock photos?
  8. A Boy Named Seo
    Porcello's a Boras guy. The August 15th deadline looms very freaking large with a guy like that, with an agent like that, and demands like that.

Before the D-Rays picked they showed Zimmer and I think former MLB-er Dave Martinez at a table writing stuff down on a notepad like they were actually deciding anything. Guys like Zimmer, Dave Winfield, Dewey Evans, Straw, etc. are there to give it ceremony, but I think that's it.

    BA's #2 dude Rick Porcello still available. He's a 6'5" high school righty and throws a slider, curve, and fastball between 94-96. Got hit kinda hard his last HS start. Wonder if that is keeping peeps at bay.

    Johnny Dickshot wrote: Hey here's a switch -- Braves take a Georgia high schooler. And his MLB.com thing calls him "intriguing" and "all-or-nothing". They add "If all the cards fall right, he could be a future cleanup hitter." Sounds like Rob Deer.
  12. A Boy Named Seo
    Cleveland's guy hit 38 HR in NAIA this year. That's no small shakes.

    Phillips' word-o-the-day: "Fast-track".

    metirish wrote: Are there drunken fans hooting and hollering?... "Let's go Brewers!" clap, clap, clap, clap-clap. Guess baseball has those guys, too. LaPorta listed #21 on BA's top guys list. He's 22 already, so it's kinda weird they took him with the Prince already holding down 1st.

    Royals take that high school homerun machine from Chatsworth, Mike Moustakas with the 2nd overall pick and the Cubs take Cypress, CA third baseman Mike Vitters 3rd. Vitters is the first player to stand up, put a Cubs uni and hat on, go to the stage, and shake hands with the Commish while posing for pictures. Price was in the building it looked like. Wonder why he didn't do the same. BA's #2 and 3 guys are still there, a catcher from GA Tech and a RHP from Orange, NJ.
  16. A Boy Named Seo
    David Price, 6'5" lefty pitcher from Vanderbilt picked first. He's in the room and the camera panned to him, but no stage photo op and #1 jersey. Topps is bummed. Edit: I spoke too soon. He's now wearing a green "TB" hat and matching green "TB" jersey.
  17. A Boy Named Seo
    Looks just like an NBA or NFL draft with the big stage, chairs full of baseball players I've never seen before in suits, a giant board behind the podium with team names and slots for players, and the expert panel of Ravech, Steve Phillips, and Gammo building drama. "Who will the #1 pick be?" It's that dude from Vanderbilt. We all know that. ESPN2's got the "On the Clock" graphic on the screen, Tampa with 5:00, but it hasn't started ticking until after the first commercial break. Gammons just confirmed the draft-and-follow for me. If they're not signed by this August 15th, the player goes back into next year's draft. Party time.

    SNY and my girlfriend Julie Donaldson (don't tell Squinty) had a thing on Joe's quirky uni routine a couple weeks ago. Ballplayers are a strange bunch.
  19. A Boy Named Seo
    Darryl Strawberry will be announcing the picks for the Mets. Tommy Lasorda, no doubt, will do the same again for LA this year. I love the draft.
  20. A Boy Named Seo
    All that blue is just beautiful. The white tops at home are almost not worth it when the black hats get worn and the black undershirts and hose follow. Why not just take it all the way and kill the black drop-shadow on the home white?
  21. A Boy Named Seo
    Cool stuff, LF. Lance Berkman's start has been strange. .722 OPS and 45 K's already. Tim Hudson's fast start strange, too, but strange because he was kicking ass seemingly out of nowhere. But 4.35 ERA in May and rocked in his first start in June, he might be coming back to earth. Prince popped another one today. On pace for 57 now.
  22. A Boy Named Seo
    Solid. Again. C-Los at Bingo: IPHRERBBKWLSERAWHIP22.215997231283.570.97 He's consistently allowed less baserunners than IP and has almost a 3:1 KK/BB ratio. He's saved 76 minor league games now (not including his crazy playoff run last year, I don't think). At 26 now, I don't think it's crazy to think he could provide a Juan Padilla-like surprise if called upon.
  23. A Boy Named Seo
    Brad Clontz was huge for us, too. But as a Pirate.
  24. A Boy Named Seo
    How many Mets have appeared in just one game?
  25. A Boy Named Seo
    Met too. I kinda love that he seems fragile. It makes him seem more human to me than most robot ballplayers today. Fran was right about cahnfidence.
