General Draft Discussion

[Menace II Sobriety]

Davis was hurt this year -

" A torn hamstring and a torn ligament in his left thumb have set back his development this season. Despite the injuries, he has gamely stayed in the lineup to help spark the Volunteers' 7-4 start.

"I've been trying to battle through it all season long," Davis said. "My hand started bothering me, and then my hamstring. I've just been trying to gut it out and stay in the lineup."

Just wanted to point out that the article was written in March of 08.

"You can follow the draft tracker."

 

Only if you idiots figure out how to get it going again.

[battlekow]

Stock as a catcher, wow.

[trwi7]

Hey, we're up to 47 in the draft tracker!

I should have mentioned that. Just offering up what people thought of Davis when he was healthy and putting up good numbers.

[Chio151]

breakneck speed on the drafttracker, less than 20 behind...

[BrewPackBuck]

trwi Im just watching it and finding out who they are picking. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2009/draftlive_app.jsp

With Stock off the board, I'll have to change my prediction for 74. I'll stick with LSU signee Von Rosenberg at 73, and go with fellow LSU signee Brody Colvin at 74.

How about Chris Dominguez here?

Walla was mentioned early. I like the way they talk about his power.

okay if Davis if fat Salome is fat, doesn't matter if the article was written over a year ago. Haha he may not be as built as Salome but he is a strong little guy

[battlekow]

Draft Tracker has caught up, by the way. It actually beat the video on that pick.

[southpaw121505]

Walla sounds like a Jack Z pick. Can't run, limited to a corner of, but can flat out swing it

[BrewCrewWS2008]

How about Chris Dominguez here?

fingers crossed! I wanted him coming out of high school where I think he went in the third round (not sure) but he has great power and is worth the risk IMO

[southpaw121505]

I think it will be interesting to compare Garfield's development to the Yankees pick two picks later. Another prep catcher with a similar build, John Murphy

[battlekow]

The guys on mlb.com were saying Walla has huge power, but Andy Seiler said some people were comparing him to Jaff Decker, the Padres' on-base machine.

Well, if he has great power and the incredible plate discipline of Dacker, then that's a great thing. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Walla is somewhat unknown, but it seems that everyone who has seen him loves him.

 

Garfield is a terrific defensive catcher. I don't like picking catchers high, but if we're going to pick one, I like the idea of getting a great defender.

[Chio151]

mlb.com was very effusive about Walla. I'm interested to see how he does in a real league.

[battlekow]

There goes Dominguez to the Giants.

[battlekow]

Excerpt from the BA blog entry on Walla that I posted in the round-specific thread:

 

"we've been told that during his workout in Anaheim, Walla was thrown 60 balls during a BP session and put 38 of them in the seats for home runs."

[battlekow]

Wil Myers finally off the board.

[Never Outhustled]

Myers to KC, they'll pony up for him, just like they did last year with Melville.

[Hate those Rodents]

Who are the sliders still around other than Stassi?

I didn't mean to quote it about his weight. People were saying that the injuries he had 16 months ago were a hinderance on his production this year. I didn't think that people realized that when they were talking about the article. I doubt too many athletes get fat at UT with the trainers and equipment available.
