2008 mock draft selection thread

[M2]

Hey, sorry I should have logged in last night.

With the 77th pick of the draft the Red Sox select Scott Bittle, RHP, U. Mississippi.

He's clearly excited about the selection.

Colorado Rockies select ROBBIE ROSS, LHP, Lexington (Ky.) Christian Academy

Nice pick. I was was surprised he was hanging around this late.

Nice pick. I was was surprised he was hanging around this late.

He was the next player on my draft board by a long shot.

Since RedlegJake stole, and I mean stole, Lenny Dykstra, Jr. from me (jerk), the Florida Marlins select Colby Shreve, SP, Southern Neveda Community College.

A seventh-round pick a year ago by the Atlanta Braves, he looks to improve his draft standing as one of the better JUCO pitchers in the country. He's added some velocity, up to 96 mph, and while he's still a work in progress, there's plenty to work with in terms of arm strength and size.
