fathom Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 04:08 AM) Cause I could not care less about the draft. Baseball draft is overrated. There are plenty of good players in round one. I want wins. I remember you saying the same exact thing in 2007. I'll stick with Gordon Beckham and a few less meaningless wins.

The other long guys threw a couple innings yesterday. Torres might be available actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yes but is there a guarantee we still could''nt have gotten Beckham? How do we know the team ahead of us a slot or two would have taken him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't know why people don't get as mad at guys like Rios, Pena and the bad Dotel as I do. More people seem to be mad at Jermaine than those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know the team ahead of us a slot or two would have taken him? Have you seen the middle infield prospects of the Astros? No doubt they would have picked him instead of Castro. The Reds not taking Beckham right before us is one of the more shocking draft moments of this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know the team ahead of us a slot or two would have taken him? Beckham was a consensus top 10 pick. If we had been picking say 13th that year instead of 8th we don't get him.

Guys like Beckham and Smoak could have been top 2 picks in other years. The Marlins made a huge reach on Kyle Skipworth. That and the Reds going with Alonso really shook things up.
