I clicked on 2006 Draft Tracker on the left and it popped up a new box. Seems to be flying with the pics, but Doc Scott said it didn't give him a pop up. If you have a pop up blocker, turn it off and then try it again. Not sure how else to get you the pop up tracker I have, but it seems to be going fast.

First Round Surprise
1:24 p.m.: In the biggest shock of the first half of the first round, the Cubs took a chance on the pro body of Tyler Colvin, the Clemson outfielder Baseball America ranked 170 on the Top 200 prospects. Colvin's stock had surged as Clemson won 21 of its last 22 games and stormed into super-regionals. Colvin, physical at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, had been rumored to go as high as 29 to the White Sox, but instead the crosstown Cubs took him. Colvin was having a career year and finally showing power as a junior. He hit below .290 his first two seasons, then hit .359-12-65 with a .622 slugging percentage in 2006. He also was 23-for-27 on stolen bases this season.

I'm hoping Lars Anderson drops to the second. That would be nice. Matt Laporta or Kris Johnson would be nice as well.

Tommy LaSorda takes Preston Mattingly, Don Mattingly's son

[M2]

Hard to say who I'd like with the Reds' #2 pick, there's a ton of picks between then and now. Pedro Beato would be my nominal selection, but I doubt he'll last that long.

I like all 3 of those guys as well.
