Official Draft Discussion Thread (Rounds 1-4)

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Lets get Jeremy Hellickson, the HS'er from Iowa.

 

Good choice.

 

We'll probably get another catcher

[RyDogg66]

What kind of a break is there between round 2 and 2A?

 

And will there be a similar break between 2A and 3?

[bjkrautk]

I had zeroed in on Teagarden half an hour ago....really hope he's our guy.

[brettac1]

Teagarden would be awesome.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teagarden would be awesome.

 

 

Two Words.

 

Scott Boras.

[Cyanogen5]

Teagarden is a Boras client...will the Brewers go there?

[brettac1]

I'm aware, but they can pay him. Too much talent to pass on.

[Brian the Automator]

I agree that they should take that 2nd round money and get Teargarden.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Teagarden screams Mike Matheny to me...and while Matheny has had a nice career, I guess I'm hoping for more.

[PeaveyFury]

Oooooh... Neighborgall to AZ in the 3rd.

[batman]

Neighborgall just went to the D-backs.

[RyDogg66]

Apparantly AZ has no problems with Boras. Will they taker Teagarden as well?

[brettac1]

I wish I could find Matheny's numbers at Michigan.

[batman]

Micah Owings just went, too.

 

~Bill

[RyDogg66]

And they get Micah Owings. I've heard good things about him. AZ is really getting a haul for their farm system.

[brettac1]

HS pitcher, yay.

[jschris]

Can someone explain to a newbie like myself what happened to Micah Owings? If I remember right, he was very highly touted as a hitter coming out of high school.

[Cyanogen5]

A high school pitcher int he second round...maybe he will be another Yo

[Oldcity]

HS pitcher over Teagarden?

[RyDogg66]

we took a HS pitcher? great. Cant say I am either surprised or happy with it.

[Rightomac13]

William Inman?

[stoops17]

does anybody know anything about him, Inman I think

[clancyphile]

William Inman - a HS righty.

[Oldcity]

They said on MLB radio he is projected to move fairly quickly through the minor leagues... for whatever that's worth.

[SoCalBrewfan]

BA says:

 

RHP Will Inman (16), Thompson's teammate at Tunstall High in Danville, actually has enjoyed a more decorated prep career. He broke the state's career strikeout record, passing 500 as a senior. His stocky build at 6 feet, 205 pounds doesn't portend the same projection scouts as Thompson, and many stopped following him because he failed to break 90 mph at the 2004 Commonwealth Games and his delivery showed some effort. That could be a mistake, because Inman hit 90-92 mph regularly as a senior, with his coach saying he might have been worn down last summer following a long postseason run. Inman's curveball isn?t a true power pitch, but generates a lot of swings and misses. He also throws a splitter and a changeup, and will use any of the four offerings in any count.
