Draft Questions

Here's another example Stotle:

"Dixon Anderson of Cal to the Nats in round 9...he went unsigned by us last season as a 6th rounder. Guess he didn't help his stock this spring?"

Stotle, how quick do your picks go in these rounds? Does whoever makes the pick (assuming SD) have a list of everyone they're looking at, in order of preference.

Will the SD deviate from this list if someone he doesn't know alot about (but is highly rated) starts dropping?

Tyler Wilson from Virginia, does he project as a starter or reliever?

How do we make room for 30-50 new players on the rosters of our lower MiL squads?

Anderson did not have a good spring. He is only a junior and could go back to school.

30 seconds between picks. Everyone on a conference call. Reliance on Area Scouts who have seen more of these later-round players.

Split opinion. Probably better fit in the pen.

Cool, thanks! I can definitely see the split in opinion on him. I guess the versatility is nice as he has done well in both roles at UVA.

Looks like he is still available...

Pretty strong commit to South Carolina as football (tailback) and baseball player.

Good spot to take him then.

How does our draft in the first 15 rounds match up with our division rivals Bos, NY, Tam and Tor. Is it really as bad as some comments from you and others indicate?

Not really fair to comp to TOR/BOS/TAM since they have so many more picks. Don't love the Yankees draft, but they took a couple of my favorites, so a couple points for that. Bundy >>>>>>> anyone NYA is drafting.

Thoughts on Jays top 10 rounds signing and the $ they would have to do so? Stilson and a ton of HS pitchers (inc. Norris) seems crazy expensive... Oh life in the AL East...
