AddisonStSox Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Alright guys, quick question: As many of you know, I'm head-over-heels for the NFL draft, as I spend countless hours with my notebook, online, etc. That said, I'm very familiar with consensus picks and such. I know Justin Upton is the consensus #1 as he has been compared to such can't-miss guys like ARod, Griffey, etc, but are there a consensus 2-5 or 2-10 this year? I'm really green when it comes to the MLB draft; what names am I going to look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signability starts playing a role in the 3-10 slots moreso, IMO, than the top 2 (generally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 2-5: Gordon and Pelfrey The rest depend on Boras, but those guys are the sure bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 QUOTE(Randar68 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) ok, anyone have the video working? Do you have to have an MLBtv subscription? I got the video. It's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Randar, I'm not having any problems with the MLB.tv, but I suggest using the MLB-radio, 'cause I don't think you hear the conference call with MLB.tv. Hearing Tommy LaSorda every year brings a smile to my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I've found that the video feed is horrible due to the people they have on there. I just listen in to the conference call and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'd say use the radio after the first round. It's more fun to watch the video cuz they know what each pick means. Dumbs it down for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Will one poster who's listening post the 1st round as it goes along? I would do it but I'm in the midst of a conference call. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 30 seconds between picks, instead of the customary 1 as per the last few years lol. Shouldn't be too long until the Sox pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yeah, Jim, I'll do my best. Before it starts -- lots of people like Cliff Robinson, the UofI catcher, going to the Sox in round four or five? Can anyone talk about him a little bit? Good defensively? Bad? Power guy? Plate discipline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just do a thread for the first round, where one person (you, if you want to) updates who gets drafted. No commentary or anything, just updates.

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Dbacks should already have their pick in. Has it not started yet? Fred Claire is one guy I'll actually listen to, he was a darn good GM with the Dodgers. Interestingly they are talking Clement at #3 to the Mariners. I'd be thrilled if that happened cause it could send Troy out of the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
