2008 Redszone mock draft

It's getting to be that time of the year again. The major league baseball draft is three weeks from tomorrow and for the past two seasons we have held our own mock draft here on Redszone. We haven't really ironed out all the details yet but I'd like go three rounds again this year. We can use this thread for signups and suggestions, like when to start the draft and other details.

As usual, I'd like to pick for the Reds. The Red Sox, DRays, and Pirates are also taken.

I liked it when you were the Evil Empire. I was looking forward to busting on each other's mamas as we made our picks.

Mock all you want, but I've been sending all my scouts to Vegas to see various Cirque du Soleil shows. I'm about to unload an army of Chinese acrobats all over your backside.
