2004 BLB Amateur Draft - Starting Monday 12/2 at 8 AM ET

Carolina and Denver liking the same player doesn't necessarily bode well for his future.

J/K!

I snagged Perales one year. But that is my only coup.

[Carlos]

plus he fits into the Carolina way which is to totally ignore the defense.

He won't be horrible. At worst, he already knows some 1B and can get better there.

[Jake]

I wanted Cornell in a bad way. And then Jake popped him right in front of me.

YESSS!

[fsquid]

Liked Ledbetter. If I had a chance to grab a pick before this selection, I would have taken him.

I was going to take Duffy, so well done.

[Carlos]

If Duffy can somehow get his movement up, he will be one of the steals of this draft, imho.

Also like Rordigues and Byrge. Odd how this draft isn't chock full of skilled RP like every other draft ever.

OOTP 14, baby!

And back to Carolina...

That's how I feel about Duffy. At worst, I think he's a solid 4-5. And he's close to BLB ready with some time still to develop. I was happy to see four guys from my initial list were still available, and I'm hopeful I can get one of the three that are left with my second 2nd round pick.

OSA has Dave Dunham 5/5/8 with three solid-to-good pitches.

And his college stats: 285 innings, 331 Ks, 22 BBs, 27 HR, 2.43 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 21-8 record.

Worth a shot.

Death Valley took the pitcher, so I'm drafting the hitter. Henry Rodrigues.

At first look appears to be just another Verba defensively. But Rordigues has better range and some experience at CF. We will likely give him reps at CF so he can learn the position in the minors.

Good speed. Good power. Will strike out a lot and isn't lead off hitter material with that eye, but I like him hopefully being somewhere in the middle of the lineup.

Those were the last 2 guys on my initial list. Usually I don't lose my entire 20 in the first round. Interesting developments...

[BradZ]

I tried to trade up for Yoyo at 2/3 and Cornell in the middle. Pulido was my next best pitcher.

Decent risk. My scout had him as a top 4 arm in the draft. The injury obviously impacted his draft position. Nice get at the top of the 2nd though.
