    I think d'Arnaud has more GiDPs this year than hits.

    Round 9 / Pick 265 Michael Katz - OF - William & Mary 6' 3" / 235 -- R/R -- 8/6/92 Round 10 / Pick 295 Kelly Secrest - LHP - UNC Wilmington 6' 0" / 215 -- 9/13/91

    And now the hits & runs are quite as low as they were a minute ago. That's not a cheapie in this park either.

    This game might end at an earlier hour than many of the east coast games we've played recently. Six complete innings tonight in under 1-1/2 hours. Obviously the low number of hits and walks has a lot to do with it, but that's only part of the story. Watch both these pitchers work, nobody is dicking around. Get it - Throw it.

The Nationals just sent their Tyler Moore (OF/1B) back down to the minors when they activated Ryan Zimmerman from the DL I figure that the parents of these Tyler Moores must have either watched NO television when they were younger and didn't have a clue that their kids were destined to be called 'Mary', or they watched a whole lot of it and think this kind of name is cute.

    Going local in Round 5 Josh Prevost - RHP, Seton Hall U - via Montgomery HS in Belle Mead, NJ 6' 8" 225lbs DOB: 01/15/92 Prevost seldom pitched in his first two years at Seton Hall, but has made big strides since then and served as the Pirates ace this year. He went 12-2 with a 1.62 ERA this spring and was named Big East Conference Pitcher of the Year. Prevost�s fastball sits around 90 mph and touches 94 mph with sinking action. He also throws a slider and a changeup, which is deceptive enough to create swings-and-misses. He pounds the zone with all of his pitches and has developed a much better feel for pitching over the last year. Prevost went undrafted a year ago, but won�t have that problem this spring. He could be among the first college seniors selected.

    I like Edgy's scouting report where he's three inches taller than in mine (MLB.com)

    With the eighty-fourth pick in the two thousand fourteen Major League Baseball draft, the New York Mets select short stop Milton Ramos, from the American Heritage School in Florida 5'11" 158lbs DOB: 10/26/95 Ramos is a smooth shortstop, considered by many evaluators to be the best defender in the Draft class. His plus speed helps give him above-average range. Thanks to his slick infield actions, soft hands and range, he has all the tools necessary to succeed at the position as a professional. Ramos' bat isn't as advanced as his glove. He is an aggressive hitter, and his compact swing allows him to spray line drives to all fields. He has minimal power now, but scouts expect him to develop some as he gets stronger. Ramos, who is committed to Florida Atlantic, earns praise for his high baseball IQ.

    Conforto has been wearing #8 at Oregon State I'd like (but don't expect) to see him continue that through the minors and right up to the big club

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Where is Conforto likely to be assigned? (Assuming they sign him, of course.) Brooklyn? Yeah, I'd assume Brooklyn. Picking up newly signed draft picks, plus other assorted extended ST holdovers, is essentially why those short-season leagues exist and, as an advanced college player, it's likely for him to skip over the lower ranked GCL & Appy circuits. And then we could be cynical (who ... US?) and bring up the whole Wilpon/Brooklyn connection and about how bringing the hot new name to their mini side-project by the boardwalk could be good for the ol' bottom line. Draft picks up again today just after noon with pick #76 Mets pick next at 80

    It has to be said. Recker got the tag down and d'Aranud did not, and that has made all the difference. Not remotely close to the same play.

    Y'know, I was just about to say that this game has the feel of one where we give up two insurance runs and then score twice in the 9th to fall just short (with the go-ahead runners left on base of course). Well, we fulfilled the first half of that prediction.

    Turner & Newcomb wound up going 13th (Padres) & 15th (Angels) Zimmer not until 21st to Cleveland

    Does Wright have any RBIs this season? Cuz, if so, I don't remember any of them?

    Edgy MD wrote: I don't know how many of the loving remembrances are mentioning it, but of course he's a rare figure of a member of the Yankee "family" who finally told Steinbrenner to stick it and walked away. After Steinbrenner had ordered YES not to show Zim on camera, something which was almost comically stupid considering that he sat shoulder to shoulder with Torre every pitch/every day. With all the warm & fuzzy stories about Zimmer this week, I wonder if that story makes it into the Steinbrenner for H-o-f campaign.
