I just don’t like catchers this early.

especially Posey at the asking price,
but Skipworth seems like he could easily outgrow the position,
and i think it’d be harder to make huge progress while still growing.

I don’t get this selection at all.

taking Yonder Alonso is a surprise. Didn’t see that one coming at all.

lots of surprises.

a few picks i don’t understand,
but wasn’t LaPorta a questionable pick last year?

people were saying he could be the likely one to drop…

What do people think of the Posey pick by the Giants? I wanted Smoak, but am willing to be convinced otherwise. All I can figure is that they don’t think Villalona can play elsewhere but will play in the majors, or at least as likely as Smoak.

houston we have a problem

Is gonna drop to Baltimore in the second round.

Total reach here, and a transparent grab at saving cash.

THEY HAVE Towles!!!!!!! Sure, he’s no great shakes, but he’s certainly adequate. Terrible pick here, unless the Astros know something we don’t. This is one team that didn’t have to scrimp on their pick.

in Arlington … wow

Weeks!! Well, I was hoping he’d fall to the Mets. That having been said, he seems like a good pick here. A very exciting player, he should give a different look to that A’s lineup in a few years.

They certainly added a bat here. Of course, I wonder how Wallace will play in LF, since I don’t see him sticking at 3b and 1b is sort of blocked…

Goo Goo Ga Joob

!!!!!

A great pick for the Dodgers here. I’d have to start Martin at 3b, as it’s easier for a player to convert back into a pitcher. I was really, REALLY hoping the Mets would get this guy. Another great pick for the Dodgers.

would be a great draft. I agree if we got Melville and Hunt, then we’d have hit the lotto. Think they pop Melville here? I really want them too…

My head says we’ll take Havens here… even though my heart is with Melville

Would you have Hewitt play 2B? Thats where Id try him out to begin his career…. And yes a reliever would be a wasted pick right now

With the 18th selection in the 2008 Amateur Draft, the New York Mets select 1B Ike Davis…

Well, I don’t hate this pick. I’m pretty lukewarm on this one. He’ll be up early quickly, I think. Honestly, I was really hoping to see the Mets go with Shooter Hunt here.

Yeah, I’d start Hewitt at 2B, and I’d give him every chance to stay there unless it appeared it was effecting(affecting?) his bat.

Who do you think we take at 22?

Take Cashner.

I’ll tell you why the Reds took Yonder Alonso…because they are smart! I predict he wins a batting title or three. Remember you heard it here first okay? i’d assume the plan there is Votto to play LF/RF. He runs better than Alonso and has some experience there.

Smoak to Rangers is a find though.

Hope mariners take Freidrich!

So, who wants to bet that Fields is in the majors by the end of the season?

Mariners, Mariners

I hate to be histerical here but, they truly are a laughing stock now.

A team with tons of holes basically punts the chance to draft a future star and takes Josh Fields. Nice little reliver who heaves his fastball towards the middle of the plate.

Uh guys, you aren’t a reliever or two away from being a contender okay.

In my mind this is an extremely “safe”, and therefore a very bad choice.

Havens! TBach, you got your guy.

I’m alright with this pick. Assuming Havens can find a home away from SS, I think his bat will play. I was really hoping for Hunt or Melville, but this is certainly acceptable.

I like this choice. You need guys who the ball far and hard to score runs at Petco. Big power!

I love their choice of Anthony Hewitt. Along with names escapes me, the Phillies really have some tools beasts in their system now. This is a choice that just feels right.

Of course, I’d have preferred if Hewitt had fallen to the Mets.

Gerrit Cole! If they can sign him, I think this is a great pick. There’s some volatility in his delivery, but a terrific arm.

A great draft pick for the Red Sox. I wonder why he dropped. I was starting to hope he’d fall to the Mets…

Wha???? Why not Melville? Why…...... :(

This has been a great draft for them so far.

HOW DID THE ASTROS JUST PASS ON MELVILLE? Why is nobody taking this guy?

Really don’t like this pick for the Yankees. Very average stuff, average stats, and average command. Terrible pick.

can they afford to sign him?
