Pick 3
Chicago Cubs select draft ID #1908 Porcello, Rick, RHP, Seton Hall Prep, West Orange, New Jersey

Sorry, I saw John took Porcello for them and put the Cubs on the clock. I guess he erased that.

what prompted the change of heart?  I thought you were big on Porcello

by adschofield on Jun 3, 2007 3:14 PM EDT   0 recs

safety
The more I thought about it, Porcello is such a huge gamble at #2 overall, while Wieters has a nice combo of safety and upside.  

In real life I probably wouldn't take Wieters if I was running KC's draft due to signability concerns, but we don't have to worry about that here.

Rox
if nobody selects for the Rockies, I will right now. Jason Heyward, OF.

by bballfanlvnv on Jun 3, 2007 3:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Really?
I'd take Detwiler.
Russ
Purple Row

by Rox Fan in NY on Jun 3, 2007 3:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Heyward or Detwiler
It's a close call, in my mind. I just feel the Rockies need more high ceiling, athletic, toolsy outfielders and Heyward is one.

I really think Price is going to be the college stud and Heyward is going to be the high school stud out of this draft.

Thanks to who ever selected Detwiler. As I was typing in his name my computer shut off. Ridiculious...

#10
Giants select Madison Bumgarner, lhp
South Caldwell HS, Hudson, N.C

I knew one of the top 9 wouldn't fall.

by MPK on Jun 3, 2007 3:21 PM EDT   0 recs

Right Pick
Not wild about Bumgarner and hope the real draft plays differently, but he was the BPA at this point in this draft.  It was the right pick here.

by DrBGiantsfan on Jun 3, 2007 5:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Astros are here, but we dont pick till Rd 3# so I'll be glad to pick for someone if there is another no show

yeah
but it was an overdraft. I don't think he's a 5 tool guy. He's a good all around athlete, but the bat is still his largest question mark.

But I am a huge Jackson fan.

i was taking him at 36, so he wouldn't have made it there

Just to shock some folks. I really like him.
