I wonder if Walt and the Cisco family ever crossed paths?

Are you asking if the Cisco Kid was a friend of his?

Re: The Official Second Day Draft Thread - 2010
What's an average draft yield, 3 major league players and probably less than one everyday starter?

Cisco reminds me a lot of Mike Leake just from reading about him...

I've been at a meeting for the past hour. I was happy to return and see some high-upside HS arms piled up in rounds 5-7. It sounds like Cisco might be a tough sign.

Yep. I was really hoping the Reds would draft him. Great pick for the Phillies.

Going on memory, wasn't he plunked by an aging Mike Torrez of the Mets in the Astrodome?

Yes, and it was right at the beginning of a season? Sometime in the mid-80s, like 1984-1986ish.

Interesting. The Beavers were just eliminated from college postseason play- they're not as good as they were when Dallas Buck was their ace (national championship, 2006 I think) but they are what passes for a dynasty in the Pacific Northwest.

Although the Oregon Ducks have come a long way since restarting their baseball program last year. I saw a tweet that they lost like four commits in the first couple rounds of the draft.

Re: The Official Second Day Draft Thread - 2010
Just from watching Robles' video, looks like he has a bit of a short arm motion, throws a fastball about 87-88 and a slow curve around 72 mph. He threw another pitch about 84 (slider?) as well.

Re: The Official Second Day Draft Thread - 2010
Also, the Cubs took Robles' Beavers teammate Kevin Rhoderick just a few picks later. That's the third OSU pitcher to go today.
