I think the "Evan Longoria has no relation to Eva Longoria" joke has been beaten to death.

Let's get a new script ESPN....

That's not really a joke...that's actually somewhat useful information. I know it's the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw his name.

Fair enough...

I suppose maybe once or twice, but they love saying it every time his name comes up.

If you want a power hitting first baseman, look at Charlie Yarbrough from Eastern Kentucky around the 10th round. Pure Power

[Three Run Homer]

We should take Laporta if he's still available. Going into the season he looked like the best college power hitter available, then he got hurt and had a disappointing season. We've done well drafting college players whose stock dropped following disappointing seasons--Reimold last year fits that description, and I think Chris Ray and John Maine did as well.

[Sport Foo]

Here we go...its on the move again...Alexander Cobb at 109...Orioles are 6 away.

Heres hoping for a Power hitting 1B!

[keenan42]

My "wishlist" (at a glance) for the first few rounds would be something like:

1. (9) Billy Rowell 3B* N.J. (H.S.)

1. (32) Matt Latos RHP FL. (H.S.)

2. (58) Lars Anderson 1B* CA. (H.S.)

3. (85) Zach Britton LHP TX. (H.S.)

4. (115) Ryan Kalish OF* N.J. (H.S.)

5. (145) Ben Snyder LHP Ball St.

It's the second or third post in the Draft wishlist thread.

[keenan42]

I wanted Kyle Orr.

[TyCobb]

O's take Blake Davis, SS Cal St Fullerton.

[Sport Foo]

Kyle Orrr went 2 before us we take...Blake Davis SS Cal State Fullerton

[markpolis]

Our 4th round pick is: Blake Davis, SS, CalSt Fullerton
