Recommended Posts

Below is the list from the draft. As each signs, let's have someone make a post in here stating the terms (if they are announced), the date, etc. And then I or some other mod/admin will bold the name on this list (and if they are definitely not signing, such as going to college, I'll use italics)...

-Also, bonuses will be added when known.

You can bold out 1377 Lee Fischer. He's been assigned to Kannapolis.

if Lee Fischer hits above .150 I will crap my pants. There is no future for this guy. he couldn't hit his weight with metal bats at Mizzou and the one thing he was good at, fielding, he stunk at this year.

Something of a preview article for Great Falls, who've changed their nickname from the White Sox to the Voyageurs:

And apparently, the Great Falls writer does not know the White Sox's first roun pick was Gordon Beckham, not Jordan. Great reporting there, messing up on something so easy to check.

:D I'm reading this, thinking, I sure hope he's 1337, but that's a pretty bold prediction for such a low pick. Then I realize that's his actual draft position.

 

If I were him, I'd brag to everyone about my draft number. And, yes, that may be why I'm no good at picking up women...

His draft number was 1377, not 1337

Why would you hope he was 1337? I get the feeling I'm missing some kind of blogosphere inside joke here.

1337 = leet = elite

Online gaming lingo for 'Elite'. Its used as a substitute for awesome/amazing/cool/elite etc...

 

My last video game at home was on an atari, so, I'm apparently waaaaaaaaaaay out of that loop. Thanks for the info.

no wonder he doesn't get any dates dropping pearls like that on the ladies

:D I didn't mean it quite that way -- more that I just have a skewed sense of humor, and usually find the wrong things funny. But hey, maybe, if things aren't going well this weekend...

 

:drink :wub: :fight

did we just bold KWjr. cause he's KW's son, or because he actually signed?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:07 PM)
Done. And as the GF paper article said KW2 will be in camp shortly, I bolded him as well.

hooooooray reading
