Live Mock Draft... Monday at 8:30pm

Hank Scorpio · June 9, 2009

Just FYI
From the latest Law Mock Draft if you guys haven't seen it yet...

I think that's a little pre-draft gamesmanship.

But I could be wrong.

Borchering makes sense to me. Trout . . . I don't know about Trout. I think Arizona will go with an advanced pitcher who is an easy sign like Brothers, Paxton, or Arnett. Trout is making a bull rush of late.

I see that point as well, but I thought a lot about it, and Trout's upside is too high not to take... I think they will grab a catcher and college pitchers shortly with their abundance of choices.

Yeah they'll snag a slot catcher in the supp.

James makes sense for Florida here, though they would undoubtedly be disappointed to have Borchering go right before them. Paxton, Brothers, Arnett could make sense, but I have to think FLA is going prep over college. James gets the nod over some other prep arms (not to be named because I want them around for later!).

I would go with Matt Davidson (no shock to those who have read these boards). I like him better than Borchering and think he'll be a better bet to both hit and stick at 3B.

We are going to have to pick this up or we are going to be here til 3 in the morning.

Stotle · June 9, 2009

We are going to have to pick this up or we are going to be here til 3 in the morning.

Agreed. Or shorten it to the 1st and the supplemental.

allstar1579 · June 9, 2009

We are going to have to pick this up or we are going to be here til 3 in the morning.

Yeah, 2 hours for 20 picks?

crawdad · June 9, 2009

Agreed. Or shorten it to the 1st and the supplemental.

Yeah . . . to finish what was suggested, we need to go to a pick per minute. We seem to be taking a full five minutes.

Greg Pappas · June 9, 2009

1:19 St. Louis Cardinals... Rex Brothers, LHP, Lipscomb

Starter or reliever? Either way, a solid college choice for the Cards.

I would have taken Matt Purke.

crawdad · June 9, 2009

Yeah, 2 hours for 20 picks?

Gotta . . .

Greg Pappas · June 9, 2009

You all beat me to it... let's aim for 54 picks, to get to the O's in R2. Need to hustle the picks in as best as we can.

I'll be interested to see where you guys have Matt Hobgood going.
