Wasn't Shaffer connected to the Reds for a while?

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)

Is there less time between picks after the 1st round?

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)

I'm not trying to say I think Travieso is a great pick- he's risky- but I'm glad I'm not a Cards fan watching them take Wacha and Ramsey with two first-round picks. A #4 starter and a scrappy Skip Schumaker type. Gag.

Good question. I think so, but not completely sure.

I sure hope so. Selig looks like he's ready for a nap.

I believe so as well- I think the announcing of picks ends, and the pace greatly picks up.

I hated the Cards having 2 piks but I'd have to say it looks like they blew it

I mean, if your picks contribute at the big-league level it's not necessarily "blowing it"- but neither of their guys have anything close to star upside.

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)

Stryker Trahan is built and looks about as catcher-y as they come. 6'1", 215#, neck and head sort of bullet-shaped.
