Official Draft Discussion Thread (Rounds 1-4)

[And That]

I thought Periard was born in 1987...?

 

Canadiens don't really count.

[scoop53714]

We have our new "battler", now all we need is a gamer and a hard worker and Neds cupboards will be stocked.

[clancyphile]

If Braun has to more to the OF, then Gamel would be an option at third.

 

Makes sense, and who knows what else Gamel might be able to do?

[scoop53714]

I was kidding about the platoon guys. Nothing like planning platoons 3 years into the future. I assumed my sarcasm would be obvious.

[gregmag]

Great. The Inman dossier now includes "some injuries" and signability issues, in addition to a stocky build, a tired arm last summer, delivery issues, and being a freakin' high school RHP to begin with. The sky's the limit for this guy.

You also have to factor in the exchange rate.

Minnesota just took Michael Moore. Trying to appeal to the liberal fan base?

[ja002h]

He said he?s heading to Auburn if not selected in the first or second rounds

 

Sounds promising.

 

Course, that could mean "unless they pay me 2nd round money".

[nikip43]

time for Colby's Cali catcher Charlie Cutler? (sweet sweet alliteration)

The way this draft works he'll likely be the NL starting pitcher in the 2008 All-Star game.

 

Michael Moore got picked? He better have big power, I doubt he has much speed. His autobiography will HAVE to be titled OPS .911.

[Mass Haas]

Gamel a teammate of recent DFE signee Darren Ford at Chipola...

[RyDogg66]

I see the Braves just took Michael "they say the neon lights are bright on" Broadway...wait, where have I heard that joke before...

[scoop53714]

Only 4 more picks until the Brewers draft another 5 tool MONSTER who will freakin ROCK.

[SoCalBrewfan]

In the grand tradition of Opdyke and Belcher, they should pick a HS catcher who will fail at defense...

[brettac1]

Kevin W. Roberts, RHP, U of Houston

[Blazer25]

5th Round.....

 

Kevin Roberts RHP- U of Houston

[bork]

What? No 5th round catcher again?

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Here's his crappy, generic player page:

uhcougars.collegesports.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/roberts_kevin00.html

In 2004 he played every position except catcher, 1st, and center.

[ja002h]

His autobiography will HAVE to be titled OPS .911.

You guys do know there's a new thread for rounds 5-9, right?

[Brian the Automator]

There's another thread for rounds 5-9.

From BA on Gamel

 

While putting together our draft preview issue, we checked in with Jeff Johnson, the head coach at Chipola (Fla.) Junior College to get the vitals on speedy outfielder Darren Ford, who signed a couple of weeks ago with the Brewers. During the same call, all Johnson wanted to tell us about was Matt Gamel, his third baseman, who as the 115th pick, will join Ford in the Brewers system. Gamel went .433-14-63 this year, and Johnson called him the second or third best hitter in the state.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Hey, who invited scoop to this party?

 

I keed, I keed. After all, your sarcasm is really well-founded, I mean, these 3rd & 4th rounds have been packed with future All-Stars.
