Official Orioles Draft Pick Thread

[letgoflyers5]

Blue Jays are the only team that has elected to stop drafting so far.

Are they done? Haven't seen the tracker move since the end of round 35.

They are on a break I believe. Nature calls...even in the war rooms!

They've temporarily suspended the draft after the 35th round because of the Perlozzo pick. Half the phones on the conference call went dead and there was a mass suicide by half the scouts in the country because the missed out on taking him.

In the 23rd and 24th round the Orioles select two SoCal pitchers with some good upside.

Anthony Kirbis, RHP, 6'2" 200

Kirbis, with a solid pro body at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, throws harder more consistently in the 92-94 mph range. A fan of pitching guru Tom House, he came to San Diego to meet with House and decided to transfer nearby, walking on. He throws a decent curveball but needs to locate it better. He led the team in wins and had a better season than Lowe (8-2, 3.08 vs. 4-5, 3.65).

Dan Klein, Servite HS, RHP 6'3" 195lbs.

UCLA recruit Dan Klein has more polish as a football quarterback, though he'll focus on baseball for the Bruins. He has a feel for spinning a breaking ball to go with fringe-average fastball velocity, good changeup and excellent athleticism at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds.

I really like the Kirbis pick.

Klein is a first round talent guy who is most likely going to UCLA no matter what, but if the Orioles could somehow show him the money, he'd be a the third first round talent in the draft along with Wieters and Arrieta.

By the way, there's a good chance Arrieta signs quickly.

Lester was also named the SWAC tournament's most outstanding player in 2006.
