probably an
overdraft but i have a good feeling on him and there was no one glaring at me here,

by nms on Jun 3, 2007 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i was considering him at 71
i don't think its an overdraft at all

taken your 71, Vineyard, if i didnt get Horton

damn
he was ranked the highest left on my draft board

by yanksfan6129 on Jun 3, 2007 4:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Funny
I thought this was an overdraft. Questions about the bat and his ability to stay at SS.

This is definitely a high risk / high reward projection pick.  He was the best toolsy MIF left on my board.

by birdtown on Jun 3, 2007 4:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Raw HS righty
who hasn't pitched much, and just jumped onto radar screens this year.

by casejud on Jun 3, 2007 4:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

dang it
I wanted him but I didn't think he'd go this high. I was hoping for him in the fourth round

by yanksfan6129 on Jun 3, 2007 4:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just really
really liked his video clip. I saw a big, tall jid who looked like he had a real good arm and was moving pitches inside and out and was changing speeds. I also thought he looked really phsically advanced for a HS pitcher. Basically didnt look like HS pitcher. What am I missing? Why so LOW with this guy? Signability? I heard he rweally likes Notre Dame but, luckily I didnt have to worry about that...lol.
casedog

by casejud on Jun 5, 2007 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

why not
worry about signability if we're trying to do a good mock?

I'd say if he doesn't sign in the real draft it should count as if he doesn't sign here.  Just to keep things fun

by nms on Jun 5, 2007 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

the problem with considering signability
is that unless it was posted somewhere, like it was for a few guys, nobody knows what most of the HS guys are asking for and how far down is acceptable to them before they go back to school

by mtk52983 on Jun 5, 2007 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

What's my budget?
If we take signability into account then we need to know what our budgets will be and where is that coming from?

by cooper7d7 on Jun 5, 2007 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i would have taken
the other giant. better mechanics and control. but danieli has a high cieling...literally.

by npurcell on Jun 3, 2007 4:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

rather,
he needs a high ceiling.

i'm pretty happy with it,
if i were the phillies organization, i'd heavily consider moving justin jackson to 3B, but since sanchez fell, i guess that eliminates the need.

i don't think sanchez will hit for 2-3 years, but i think he'll blossom once he gets to A+ in 2009.

I actually had Thomas name written out in the comment box before I went with Robles.  I was scared off by the 2 seasons of poor performance and the less than stellar defense reports I saw.  I would have taken him in the 3rd though.
