    2008 MLB Draft Thread

    Have at it. Looks like Beckham will likely be the pick.

    I was talking about Gordon Beckham to the Reds, but that works too.

    If I had to project the top 10:

    2.Pit-Pedro Alvarez
    3.KC-Eric Hosmer
    4.Bal-Brian Matusz
    5.SF-Buster Posey
    6.Fla-Kyle Skipworth
    7.Cin-Gordon Beckham
    8.CWS-Justin Smoak
    9.Was-Yonder Alonso
    10.Hou-Aaron Crow

    Stupid question...what time does it start?

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    Yeah right, you just know Jimbo can't resist the 5 tool outfielder, zach collier is their man.

    Either that, or he goes w/ Juan Castro (C out of Standford). If he can't have all his former reds, at least he'll have some w/ the same names.



    seriously, that looks like a nice list, but it seems this draft is more up in the air regarding the top 10 than any in the last few years that I can remember. Probably a bit tough to project who will land where exactly.

    With Matusz off the board, if the Reds do select G. Beckham, that'll make my afternoon.

    I am jealous. Apparently Aaron Hicks is the only player in attendance. A bunch of others turned down the invite.

    First, it's free. Selig must not know that. Parking free also. In a biulding called the Milk House. About the size of HS auditorium. It's got curtain diving the fllooe. Behind it appears to ne where prospects and friends will sit while waiting to be called.
