let's first take a look back to past mock drafts that i've done for the phillies.  this was the 2006 one, which i'm pretty happy with right now, due to the successes of tillman and sulentic. 

1.18: chris tillman - i took him about 30 spots ahead of where he went in RL, but i think i had a decent read on him, and i do love HS pitchers with plus secondary pitches.

1. 37: max sapp - at the time, the system needed a power bat, and sapp had the most raw power in the draft. it's a shame he hasn't done anything else as a pro.

2.66: matt sulentic - another HSer with a big upside, though he looks to be a lot more polished than most HS OFs.  before i even realized it, i guess that i was a big believer in the braves' philosophy of drafting. 

3.97: mark sobolewski - we'll see how this pick looked this year, as i believe sob is a draft eligible sophomore at the U.  for those keeping track, this is anoher HSer.

4.127: blair erickson - a not so dominant college reliever, this pick was probably a little early because erickson's scouting report had been diminishing throughout his first few years  in college

5.157: andy d;allesio - another power hitter, i'm not too proud of this pick.  i've since subscribed to the belief that it is a  huge mistake to draft 1B early, and this pick could have been better used on someone with a modicum of projection left. 

2007: it's a little early to really evaluate this draft in depth, but let's take a look and see if there;'s anything to see:

1.19: justin jackson -  the 2007 draft was severely lacking in 5 tool talents, so when my pick came up in the first round, i overdrafted one that i thought could really play.  i'm still confident in his ability, but as i said, i overdrafted.

1.37: john lucroy - again, another solid C.  i really like lucroy's bat, and i decided to pull the trigger on him here because i had heard his defense was steadily improving to the point where he could likely stay at C.

2.83: victor sanchez - i really liked his glove, andh i felt that it would be good enough to carry him up the ladder as he advanced, even if his bat was disappointing.  went to san diego

3.107: steven neff - projectable HS lefty. went to south carolina

3.113: cory gearrin - obligatory college reliever. has disappointed in pro ball

4.143: marcus davis - another immensely talented athlete, davis has performed fairly well in pro ball, though as a college hitter in low A, that is to be expected.

5.173: brett krill - toolsy HS OF.  went to UCLA

this draft is going to take a while to flesh out.  it could go any number of ways, because of the 3 players that chose to go the college route.
