2008 mock draft selection thread

[Puffy]

Puffy, I just noticed the I've got five picks from this draft and you've only got three. I declare victory!

Normally that might be the case. But Hosmer is like three large men and two small children, so that gives me 7 picks.

[OnBaseMachine]

NC Reds sent his pick in...

With the 111th overall pick, the San Diego Padres select Joe Wieland, RHP, Reno, NV.

SandyD is on the clock...

[OnBaseMachine]

SandyD also sent her pick in.

With the 112th overall pick and the last pick in the 2008 Redszone mock draft, the Los Angeles Angels select TJ Steele, of, Arizona.

A big thanks to everyone who participated. I love doing this every year and hopefully we can continue to tradition again next season.

[M2]

Normally that might be the case. But Hosmer is like three large men and two small children, so that gives me 7 picks.

Unfortunately that only means he's got three split personalities that refuse to clean up when his other two split personalities mess their pants. I win on hygiene.

[OesterPoster]

The Brewers will dominate the Central Division for years to come.

That's all.

[Patrick Bateman]

A round of applause to OBM for putting this together, and keeping track of things for the last few days. Appreciate the effort OBM.

[*BaseClogger*]

I had a great time learning about the draft!

[camisadelgolf]

Good job, everyone. A big thank you to OBM for all his work.

For the record, though . . . I had sent my draft board to OBM a while ago. Maybe he had to delete it before my last pick. Anyway, my draft board was:

1. Brad Hand, LHS, Chaska HS (MN)
2. Tyler Chatwood, RHS, East Valley HS (CA)
3. Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B, Pitt CC (NC)

I looked through me PM's and couldn't find it. I may have accidentally deleted it. I don't believe Hand was drafted so I'll go back and give him to ya. Sorry.

[GoReds33]

I'm sorry about not picking. I tried to come up with it last night, but my internet is satellite, and with the storms I couldn't get online. Today I had work, and totally forgot about it.

[cincyinco]

A big thanks to everyone who participated. I love doing this every year and hopefully we can continue to tradition again next season.

Hey thanks for putting it together, I had fun.. might even suggest we start a week earlier and go 5 rounds.

[cincyinco]

Good job, everyone. A big thank you to OBM for all his work.

For the record, though . . . I had sent my draft board to OBM a while ago. Maybe he had to delete it before my last pick. Anyway, my draft board was:

1. Brad Hand, LHS, Chaska HS (MN)
2. Tyler Chatwood, RHS, East Valley HS (CA)
3. Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B, Pitt CC (NC)

Chisenhall, nice pick - he was just taken 29th overall by the Indians. Apparent great value in the 3rd round if he was there.
