lol its alright I completely understand, they get me all the time. Adam Ricks, could be a catcher for us??? Another versatile possible mid-round draft is Miami senior Adam Ricks, who has played second base and some shortstop for the Hurricanes but whose tools profile best at catcher. Miami (and Sacramento City CC before it) has given him a few innings there so scouts can see him catch and throw. He's a lefthanded hitter that makes contact consistently.

McCarthy, College SS moves to 3B in the pro game. He put up good power numbers in the Pac-10 this year. SS Ryan McCarthy's stock has been on the rise all spring. A lifetime .261 hitter at UCLA, he bumped his average over .300 this year while leading the Bruins with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs. McCarthy reminds some scouts of former Long Beach State star Chris Gomez. He is a steady, reliable infielder with average tools and makes all the routine plays. He committed just five errors this spring--an impressive feat for a college shortstop. I can't find a thing on Rex Adams.

Ok nevermind, I see Lemon was our 8th round pick. I think I'm all better now.
-
hmm, BA says our 7th round pick was Tim Murphey, so I'm confused a little, was Lemon a pick? Anyways, here's info on Murphey. • Lanky LHP Tim Murphey has an excellent pitcher's frame at 6-foot-3, 165 pounds, and he's wiry strong. His loose arm helps him blow hitters away with an 89-92 mph fastball that has touched 94. He's not a strong student and is considered signable, though he's raw and needs work on his secondary stuff.

doesn't look like it dan, unless Brandon also goes by Sean, Luke, or Kent. http://uclabruins.collegesports.com/sports...thy_ryan00.html

I dunno, our closer has 94 and no control, lol.

Alright thanks. Tim Layden was the Cubs 6th round pick if thats what you meant, Adam Russel was ours. Lemon; WOW crazy pick, could be a steal, could be a terrible bust. But, fun to keep track of to say the least. Lemon may be Nuke LaLoosh (of "Bull Durham" fame) brought to life. He has a live arm and one of the best fastballs in the country, with a fastball clocked as high as 98 mph this spring. The trouble is he doesn't know where the pitch is going most of the time. In 37 innings, he walked 50, hit eight batters and served up 19 wild pitches. Hitters feared him--with good reason--and that helped make him unhittable, with a .214 opponent average and no home runs. At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, he looks like a big leaguer, but he's a 22-year-old with a limited pitching background and a long medical record. He rarely pitched in high school or at Cosumnes River (Calif.) JC before going on a Mormon mission. Scouts naturally became intrigued with his arm strength but said he might be too risky to draft in the first five rounds. His situation is not unlike that of Bill Bene, a 1988 Dodgers first-round pick who threw nearly 100 mph but ended up going 18-34 and walking 543 in 516 innings in a 10-year minor league career.

Are those our 7th and 8th round picks? Or is it just one of them our 7th?
-
Yeah lets just hope for better results than from Brian West, Dan Wright, Rylan Reed etc.
-
I meant beat up as in physically, nothing about baseball :-).
-
One thing is for sure, our draft could beat up anyone else's draft.
-
Could be a steal with good minor league pitching coaches... The 6-foot-8, 250-pound Russell is an intimidating presence on the mound. His fastball also can be intimidating when it reaches 95 mph with electric life in the zone, and he works with a free, easy motion. He hasn't had success at the college level because he doesn't throw a quality breaking pitch for strikes consistently. In the absence of injured righthander Marc Cornell, Ohio's ace a year ago, Russell was expected to provide more than a 1-3, 4.75 record this year. Because of his ceiling, he should be drafted in the first three or four rounds.
-
We have 44 picks left I believe.
-
I can't listen to the draft anymore because it just kills my computers, makes it have all funky colors and wants to blow up from so many different things going on.
-
I'm sure he will be a late second day pick in the 40's. I sure hope they don't reach higher for him for namesake.

Brandon Allen, got a good one here, BA has him at 85th overall in the draft. Allen had Division I-A football potential as a linebacker, but his ability to punish a baseball is more impressive than his ability to punish ballcarriers. There's a lot of raw lefthander power packed in his 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame, which reminds one scout of a smaller version of Phillies minor league slugger Ryan Howard. The question is how well Allen can tap into it. He actually performed better with wood bats last summer than he has with aluminum this spring, when he hit .329 with just two homers. His ability to make contact is an issue, though his supporters believe he'll improve once he devotes himself to baseball full time. A University of Houston recruit, Allen is a very good athlete for his size. He's a solid average runner who plays a competent left field. With teams desperately seeking position players in the 2004 draft, Allen could have been a first-round pick with a strong season. Instead, he'll have to settle for the second or third round.
-
Here comes Tommy in a few picks lol.
-
He's not playing football and he has a very good accurate arm. Just doesn't have alot of reps over there yet.
-
Maybe he will last 20 more picks then.
-
Lucas Harrell, • RHP Lucas Harrell should be the third Missouri high school player drafted, in part because he plans on attending junior college and not a four-year school. He relies almost exclusively on his fastball, which sits at 90-93 mph. Has Colin Mahoney of Clemson been picked yet?
-
What was that last pick's name?
-
Wow found some more stuff on Donny Lucy, sorry if its been posted. He was a steal it sounds like. Bio Notes: Lucy was a 1st or 2nd Round talent as a H.S. senior but as with all of the Stanford signees, scouts passed him up in the Draft. Defensively, Lucy is a budding star behind the plate. He is a big, strong player with solid receiving skills and an excellent arm. Offensively, Lucy has plus speed for a catcher but needs to improve a swing that at present does not maximize the power that exists in his large frame.

AWW CRAP, Colorado got Iannetta, he's gonna be a good one up there.
-
Scouting report on Patterson just isn't that flattering at all.
-
That looks like the same report of my link, didn't see a 2003 listed.
