Re: The Official Second Day Draft Thread - 2010

With there being no draft-and-follow picks anymore, you have to wonder why clubs would take college-bound HS players that they weren't going to especially try and lure away.

Kaskow hit .328 with just one homer but more walks than strikeouts in 2010 for the Cardinal.

The Mets take John Franco Jr., a HS shortstop, in round 42. He's listed as 5'7"/152#. Natch.

If he's got a good fastball, he's just begging for the nickname "Lightning", no?

Re: The Official Second Day Draft Thread - 2010

Another LSU-Eunice player went later in the round. It's a junior college, so my guess is that Hopkins is going to want to transfer to a larger program.

Paul O'Neill's nephew Michael went to the Yankees in round 42 out of Olentangy Liberty HS in Columbus.

A Cincinnati native, Tom Belza, went to Arizona in round 43. He went to Oklahoma State and played 2B. Looks like he went to Moeller.
