Clayton Kershaw was projected in the top 7 in nearly every draft I have seen and he is now still available at 14...of course Steel wont take him, so he will fall to 15. Interesting stuff so far in our little mock draft.

Question is - who will go all Billy Beane circa 2005 and scoop up those undervalued high school armsOriginally Posted by dougdirt
I would have taken Kershaw #5 overall in my draft had I done the draft myself. Miller, Longoria, Hochever, Lincoln would have all gone before him, but he would have been #5 as far as BPA in my opinion.
Ah wonderful, I was expecting to get on here tonight and figure out what time we had set and low and behold I missed the start. Wow I had no idea that we were going to start on Friday! The last I checked we hadn't even finished handing out all the teams (Oakland I think was still ava.), now I miss out on all the fun.

Oh, You haven't missed all the fun. In fact, I suspect there's several more days of fun. Hopefully, we'll finish before the real draft.Originally Posted by Mario-Rijo

I'll be golfing tomorrow - so if by chance my pick comes up - I am, as I am typing this, sending OBM my picks. So angry masses - blame him.
Brewers select Brooks Brown RHP University of Georgia
rdiersin is on the clock followed by Stewie.
I have an awesome second round pick in mind right now...and I'm praying that he falls to me in the 2nd round.
Since we're all ... well most of us ... really Reds fans, hopefully we all are too.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
Glad I didn't wait up.
Has somebody pm'd the next two? If you're going to be sleeping, I'll be around for a while, so I can keep that up if you want.
I PM'd the next three(rdriesen, stewie, and ramp)Originally Posted by SandyD
Only stewie has responded. He plans on PM'ing me his picks because he will be gone from 9:00 to 2:00.
I plan on going to sleep pretty soon and getting up around noonish. Is it OK if Stewie sends his picks to you since I'll probably be sleeping when he picks?
Yep. I'm up for the duration, I think, and I don't have specific plans until later. If I have to leave for an extended time, I'll post let someone else know. But I should be around until later.
If anyone cares, I pm'd OBM the group I'm considering for the Astros if they are still on the board when my turn comes. Just so no one is concerned since I'm coming up at 23.
