Topcat is up next...he hasn't been on since 6:03 this morning. It will probably be a while...

Nice pick on Sulentic, chili. Very Brian Sabean of you.

I just went and watched his Video on the MLB.com, is it just me or does that kid have very good bat speed? Maybe the video was messing with my head, but that bat looked like it was flying through the zone.

My goal was to pick the best guy who a. went to high school or a local-to-the-bay-area college and b. who nobody expected to be picked in the first two rounds.

Glad you think I played the part well. I do like Sulentic as a sleeper, a lot. If the Reds got him in the 2nd or 3rd round I'd be very happy.

I think OBM needs a new avatar, while he's running the draft

Starter. Some feel he will end up as a closer due to his short stature, but I think he stays as a starter. I've heard him compared to Roy Oswalt due to his size, mid 90's fastball, and great curveball. MLB.com thinks the Reds will draft him, which would thrill the hell out of me.

Scott Kazmir had the same knock as well.

Hey kids - I am gonna be gone from 7:30 to 1 or so and I pick 21, so I might hold this thing up. But its Friday night and I ain't staying in just for this. There's beer to be imbibed.

The Chicago Cubs after firing arm killer Dusty and informing their fans it would be nice if they didn't act like idiots select Bill Rowell IF Bishop Eustace Prep, Pennsauken, N.J

[dougdirt]

puffy, maybe you could PM your pick to OBM or your 3 or 4 picks you are looking at taking in that spot?

[KronoRed]

Well all the arms I wanted were gone so I went with the safe pick

[OnBaseMachine]

No worries, Puffy.

Steel just sent me a PM stating that he can't make his pick until around 10:00 tonight. We still have all weekend to complete the draft.

I'll be gone from 10 tonight to 6 tomorrow morning but you guys can go ahead and carry on without me.

[OnBaseMachine]

Steel is on the clock but like I said, it will be a while.
