Draft Chat - Rounds 1-5

[nyco]

O's pick, Pedro Biato.

Is this the draft thread? I assume so with the amount of posts here.

Who the heck is Peter the Beater?

[Sonny76]

O's take Pedro Beato!

[Three Run Homer]

Beato it is. He's the guy the Mets were supposed to sign as a draft and follow but didn't.

[Maverick2143]

Beato... mmm.. interesting

[Hank Scorpio]

Vote for Pedro.

[Hutman]

Beato was projected to go in the first round. BA said he was one of the best arms in the draft. NICE PICK!!!

[rolliefingers]

Orioles take Pedro Beato. Awesome pick!!!

Care to elaborate?

[NJOriolesFan]

Pedro Beato - excellent pick. Ranked #13 by BA

[ejf1025]

I agree... I'd love to see the NFL draft (my real passion) go faster... I know they have trades to deal with but it shouldn't take 15 min. to figure things out. 10 min should be plenty.

Nothing ticks me off more than when the #1 pick takes several minutes to choose...

Sometimes the guys are already signed and they still tick down the clock; drives me nuts.

He had TJ surgery as a junior.

RHP Pedro Beato - Junior College Pitcher

6'5 210lb - they said he had Tommy John Surgey in his Junior year.

Was drafted by the Mets last Year and was unsigned.

I am really surprised about Chamberlain. Is there signibilty issues?

[Hutman]

Everyone thought that the Mets would sign him, and that he wouldn't go back in the draft.

[Sports Guy]

He was a pick of the Mets and didn't sign, right?
