Hit 2 HR's in NCAA regional game vs. Creighton two days ago. Moving on in college WS I think. Named Regional MVP. Hit 2 HRs in a game in Feb. too. 11 on the season.

I doubt LaMarre ever hit 2 HRs in a game in his life.

Gotta love to hear "fringy tools" in a comp pick.

Good call. Keith Law seems to like him more than most, as he had him as a top 40 player. I like the first two picks better. Gelalich sounds like the type of non-flashy overachieving college player that this regime seems to love (LaMarre, Lohman, Greene, Valaika).

Oh well, at least they went for upside with the first two guys. I would've preferred Virant, Rahier, or Alex Wood, but I hope Gelalich makes me forget those guys. Unless of course we take one of them tomorrow...

Not excited about this one...

I like the upside of the first two picks, but don't see it here. Let's hope I am wrong with Gelalich.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I will still root for the kid and hope he proves me wrong.

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
Not a bad draft overall so far. I'd have loved it if they'd changed the third pick to Virant.

Law had Gelalich rated 37th overall, with Winkler not in his top 100....
