Josh Horton

by nms on Jun 3, 2007 4:51 PM EDT reply actions

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

i was considering him at 71

i don't think its an overdraft at all

by fewgoodcards on Jun 3, 2007 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions

i might have

taken your 71, Vineyard, if i didnt get Horton

#70 - Nationals

2-6 (#70 overall): The Washington Nationals select Nash, Garrett - SS - Jordan HS (UT)

by birdtown on Jun 3, 2007 4:52 PM EDT reply actions

damn

he was ranked the highest left on my draft board

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

Funny

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

Nash

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

Hmmm.

The first guy not even on my list - and my list runs 300 deep. What am I missing with him?

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

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

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

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

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

+1

by foolintherain on Jun 5, 2007 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions

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

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

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

rather,

he needs a high ceiling.

by yanksfan6129 on Jun 3, 2007 4:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Mitch Canham C Oregon St.

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.
