Those are some nice numbers. Kids got good size, too.

Thanks Redleader. I wonder if it is time in the draft to redraft some of our own unsigned draft and follows or start drafting other teams unsigned draft and follows?

Reds Round 30 (#894 overall)

Ronald Tabor, LHP, Francis Marion U. (SC) 6'2" 175

They named a university after Francis "The Swamp Fox" Marion? Ha!

At this point, I think anything is fair game.

You'll probably start seeing kids that didn't even play baseball this past year, just good athletes that have maybe accepted football scholarships to college, or are already playing college football, but were good baseball players in high school, i.e. anything is possible.

I guess he also goes by Lee, because hes listed as Lee Tabor on the stats page of Francis Marion.


3.19 ERA, 115.2 Innings, 103 Hits (7 homeruns), 40 BB, 118 K
Hes also hit 12 batters this year.

If you're going to draft a pitcher from an obscure place, might as well draft one that throws hard and isn't afraid to pitch inside.

must be taking a short break here before they rattle off 20 more rounds...

[Red Leader]

I'll post this note:

Any team that passes on a selection during the draft is prohibited by rule from participating in subsequent rounds. The draft concludes at the end of 50 rounds or after all teams have passed, thereby opting out of any subsequent slots.

No team has opted to pass yet.

Maybe that's why their draft looks so good to us lay-people.

I'm still willing to bet that when all is said and done, they had a very good draft, even if that is how they did it.

All guys who fell because they want boatloads of money to sign. The Red Sox are either going to piss a lot of people off by spending everything they had saved up for Roger Clemens on this draft, or they're just wasting picks.

Round 31 has started....

[Red Leader]

Reds Round 31:

Eric Schaler, RHP, Dallas Baptist U (CO) 6'4" 210 R/R

Shalers's stats this year:

That might be a punt pick. If you pass, you lose the rest of your draft. So might as well take a kid you have no interest in. I'd draft a guy like Vince Young, just for the fun of it.
