[paulcoates]

Just curious as to who the top 3 players in next years draft will be, cause it sure looks like we will be getting one of them

Glad to see someone asked the question. I was looking at our record and thinking that we might end up having the same scenario play out - - not that I'm giving up hope

Just curious to see what was projected to be on the menu...

I think a top five pick in the 2010 draft is more likely than not. Personally, I'm good with that, we need more talent top to bottom and 8-10 more wins this season isn't going to matter one bit when we get ready for next season.

Like we said last year at this time when people started asking, it's a bit early to tell, I'll start thinking about it and let you know though.

So is Bryce Harper a 2011 guy? Man it would be awesome to somehow nab him....He is supposed to be a once in a lifetime prospect.......

Yes. 2011 class looks stacked, so I wouldn't worry about not being at the top of the board. Should be a lot to choose from.

Sweet, unless we are #1, we surely won't be getting him though. Will it be as stacked as 07 could you tell by now?

A very good freshman class in college this year, especially pitching. HS class is still a ways away to project.

I've gone from Strasburg dropping fantasies to Harper finding a way to become eligible for next year's draft fantasies.

haha yeah if he was eligible for 2010, we actually have a pretty good shot at getting him. Unless the Nats keep sucking.....But for next year I am hoping for Matt Harvey-Though he seemed to get rouched up a bit earlier in the year

My lord, he has a bb/9 at 6.9!!!
