2009 MLB Draft Discussion

^ Crow to KC, not Green.

[Cocos Disciples]

The A's, like the Tigers, take their pick and run away giggling. I like Green.

[yankeessuck013]

texas must be very happy with their pick.

purke is a texas hs lefty

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah Purke is another great pick.

[yankeessuck013]

Sox pick OF Reymond Fuentes, hes been shooting up the draft boards recently. great speed, good bat.

 

yanks on the clock, with scheppers still on the board, cant see scheppers getting past them.

[yankeessuck013]

Slade Heathcott to Yankees.

[Cocos Disciples]

Heathcott has some nice upside. I'm really surprised that Scheppers fell so far, maybe even out of the first round.

[Keeper]

Tyler Kehrer drafted 48th overall, from my brother's school, EIU.

[yankeessuck013]

Scheppers finally goes at #44 to Texas.

[msubulldogs21]

Billy Hamilton #57 to Cincinnati

 

Dangit. So much for him coming to Mississippi State.

[Keeper]

Two more players from my brother's team were drafted today. Brett Nommensen was taken in the 8th round by the Bay Rays. Jordan Kreke was taken in the 13th round by the Braves. IMO, this makes EIU's omission from the College World Series even more egregious.

[Cocos Disciples]

Nats quickly signed #10 Drew Storen for less than slot value. Should give them a little more room for Strasburg.

[Cocos Disciples]

For next year's draft: Bryce Harper is getting his GED and will enroll in Junior College, and will be eligible for the draft next year. So, he's a National.
