1988 Draft Discussion

I really liked Philly's Kamuta pick. My scout had him at 7-5-6 with 3 dominant pitches.

Nah, she's on the corner.

The Furry Pigs will begin accepting trade offers for JJ Black the day after the draft. I'm looking for anybody who knows what to do with a piece of wood.

I don't think Diesel's Mom is on the block.

The Los Lunas pick right after mine got JJ Black who I think was the overall best player in the draft, but didn't want to spend a Top 2 round pick on a Closer. Love that guy though.

Zzz. I'm at the downtown Portland beer festival checking to see if it's my pick. How lame am I?

Lol, what kind of scale are we using?

I'd really like to move up to the late second or early third. If you're interested, let me know what you'd need.

I hope we get there...I have 3 outta the next 10 picks.

Ugh, shut up you!

Three picks?! Where the hell is my draft bailout???

[Matt]

So, any chance we get to my first pick any time this weekend?

If it helps... I think the best offensive player in the draft went with your 1st Round pick.

Yeah, it doesn't. Thanks for the effort though.

This makes me never want to trade a 1st rounder again. Sooooo many good looking players getting away from me its maddening.

I figure I can plug him into my offense today... and no one will notice a difference.

Way to pick 'em, Linty.

That's .216 average is going to take him places. ;)

With pick 2.17 the California Kodiaks select LF Wes Farmer from the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod League.

Kodiaks GM Dave Lint had this to say about the pick.

"We liked Wes from the beginning. We had him pegged as the eight best available talent in the draft and we are happy he fell in our laps at 2.17. We look forward to watching Wes move quickly through our system and expect him to make an impact in three to four years."

On the season, Farmer is hitting .216/.333/.365 with 1 HR/7 RBI's in 74 at bats.
