Current Draft Order

[Greg Pappas]

Nats pick first... and it's likely to be a great, great year to be #1 w/ Mr. Strasburg lining up to have a huge junior season.

And the Nats getting a good player is a win for the Orioles, because fans might actually watch the games and give MASN some more revenue...

SD actually's got an allright Minor Leagues with the likes of Chase Headley, Mike Antonelli, Cedric Hunter, & a bunch of alright pitchers in the minors. Just because they have a cruddy record dosen't mean their minors are reflective. Their infield is actually allright, their outfield is what needs help so im thinkin' Donovan Tate is up their alley. Just my opinion...

Eh, Antonelli had a huge set-back, though Hunter counced back and Blanks took a nice step forward. Headley no longer qualifies. I'd likely put SDN in the bottom-half of MiL organizational talent.

So according to your preseason prospect rankings, we'll get Dustin Ackley. I could live with that.

It wouldn't surprise me... as long as we feel he's fully recovered from his TJ surgery, and he has the year expected of him.

Can someone provide the link to that analysis?

I am interested to see what the top 10 should look like.

It's all over the Amateur Draft forum.

But the sticky at the top of the AF forum should do the trick pretty well. Stotle has a slightly different list within.

Question for Greg and Stotle:

What was your top 10 last year at this time? I'd be curious to see how much fluctuation there was over the season.

I don't think I had one until February. But my site is becoming popular enough for me to research the players year 'round now.

Is it? That's great. When you become the next Mel Kiper, I'll have a great story.

"Yea, I helped out Greg Pappas once....no big deal...."

LOL :laughlol:

I'll never live, eat and breathe-it like Mel does... he is amazing.

I will however work hard to keep it up-to-date, informative and worth reading.

Hopefully the growing readership/traffic will continue to enjoy it... or at least pretend too.

[Lt Melmo]

It's so strange to look at the full draft list and see this:

28 Tampa Bay

I'm just not sure if I'm ready for this kind of change...

I don't remember, exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was:

1. Alvarez

2. T. Beckham

3. Matusz

4. Crow

5. Smoak

6. Murphy

7. Skipworth

8. Alonso

9. Posey

10. Hosmer

Oops, I hope it's okay that I threw mine up there. I didn't realize you were staff! Feel free to pull the post if it was intended to be an OH list. Sorry
