Official Day 1 Draft Thread


Recommended Posts

Looks like the first four picks could be set -- Hochevar, Reynolds, Longoria, Lincoln:

 

Early Picks May Have Done Deals

12:46 p.m.: A source familiar with the negotiations says the teams and the players that will be picks at Nos. 2-3-4 have agreed to financial parameters. The Rockies will give Stanford righthander Greg Reynolds $3.25 million; the Devil Rays will pay Long Beach State third baseman Evan Longoria $3 million; and the Pirates will dole out $2.75 million to Houston righthander Brad Lincoln.

Is Miller a Boras guy? I know he's asking for a lot of money, but...

 

On Chris Perez -- his stuff looked good. Fastball with movement clocking in at 92, a real good slider at about 80-81. It would depend on the situation, but if he's there, I can see the Sox grabbing him.

f***ing Tigers, taking another really really top of the line arm.

 

That's a great pick to continue the momentum the organization has going right now.

4 of the top 5 college righties....no high schoolers to go yet

If Drabek isn't taken early, a high schooler won't go in the top 15.

He's going to start to get expensive soon though, isn't he?

This is what his 3 year up, so they still hold onto him for another few years. That said your right, he will start costing them a bit more money, but the Tigers haven't been afraid to spend.
