Re: Name your top 10 for the draft (who you want)

Ok, here are a few of the guys I wouldnt mind seeing the Reds take. These are not in order.
Luke Hochevar
Bill Rowell
Clayton Kershaw
Brad Lincoln
Tim Lincecum

of course Miller and Longoria would work as well, but there is about no way either slip to us.

OK...John Manuel said on his chat that the Drabek story will be out later today and it is a great article. He said that it isn't Jeff Allison scary (aka, heroin addict). Feeling better about Drabek...

Allison was an oxycontin addict wasn't he?

Drabek's stuff is better than I thought. He was sitting at 94MPH in his draft video with a nasty curve.

Yes, but oxycontin is 1 molecule away in structure from Heroin.

5 mg of Oxycontin is the equivalent of 1 percocet.

So an 80mg oxycotin pill is like taking 16 percocets at once.. just to give you an idea of the strength of this pain killer.

So, you can see perhaps, why Allison has the problems he has.

Re: Name your top 10 for the draft (who you want)

I'm liking College of Charleston catcher Alex Garabedian. Where do you draft experts think he will fall in the draft? He was picked by the Yankees in the 7th round 2 years ago.

# Projected as one of the SoCon's Top Newcomers and Top MLB Prospects by Baseball America
# Pronounced Gara-bee-dee-an
# Transferred from University of Miami (Fla.)
# Played for Coach Joe Weber at Christopher Columbus High School
# High School Honors:
# Selected in the seventh round of the by the New York Yankees in 2004
# First team All-American catcher by Collegiate Baseball and Street & Smith’s magazines
# Baseball America magazine ranked Garabedian as the second-best catching prospect and the 33rd-best overall prospect nationally
# 2003: AFLAC All-American
# Top catcher in Florida by TeamOne Baeball
# Second team all-state
# First team all-Dade County
# 2002: 2nd team all-Dade County
# 2001: 3rd team all-Dade County
# 2005 at Miami: Hit .255 with three homers and 29 RBI
# Played in 49 games
