2007 Draft Discussion

[funclown]

At 2.22 Pawtucket nabs what appears to be the 1st bullpen arm in the draft:

P R.J. 'Spanky' Green. Standford used him as a starter, but we feel he will be a nice setup man in the future.

C/ SP/ 1B/ OF/ RP/ 3B- really happy with our mix with our first 5 picks.

The cliff is here now. Time for some "niche" or OSA rated only players.

Z is on the clock.

This draft class blows.

Compared to next seasons I agree. Last years made me puke.

Pawtucket drafts 18 year old Jamie Roberts OF at 2.13

Nice thing about starting from scratch, we aren't in that "OFer are a dim a dozen" phase.

Maybe my scout is crazy, but POT is 5-6-6-3-5 and and says "easy to forecast a long career". Also had him 13th on his big board. Sometimes we disagree, but he's normally not that far off.

Didn't start until this season, but quickly hit 14 hrs. Can never have enough power hitters and as long as we can developed his contact should be a nice player in 4-5 seasons.

4 picks in 2 rounds with a nice mix of college and high school players.

My scout had him a lot lower, but since his OSA is higher and your scout's is higher I doubt my scout is correct.

Still looking to move up. At this point it's only a 3 pick drop. PM me.

He's 18, he should get better. He was on my list for round 3. Betty, I thought would have gone sooner. Almost took him at 2.2, but I have so many OFs and really liked Clarke.

As long as he wasn't on the list for you for Round 7, it's an acceptable margin of error for me!

Wanted Vin Betty badly, he seemed to be a steal compared to the other players remaining to me. Vin showing 5/5/2/2/6 to me with one point yet to develop in the last two.

Settled for Alex Dominguez, SP. Showing 5-5-6 POT to me and international player. Hopefully not a neophyte move taking him here!

Anyone looking to move down, I'll send 2.20 and 3.17. Or at least start the discussion there if you needed another pick.

LF Vin Betty was the guy I was after. My scout sees him already at 5-4-2-3-6 with more room to improve. Safe pick for us and we need to fill out our farm.

[Spear]

I'm looking to grab any of the next few picks coming up.

[spot]

Amigos select 2B Pompa from the Bourne Braves.

[Jake]

2.20 and 3.17 on the board if anyone wants to trade back.
