Name someone who you want for the first round that is realistic for your teams draft position.
Reds: Luke Hovechar
i could care less, as long as he's filthy. because even if it's someone we don't need, we could still trade him. realistically we need a hitter.
So hard to project the MLB draft, but we need right-handed pitching, early and often.

yeah, because hardly anyone cares. not to mention most of the hardcore fans like us 3, hardly know anything about the players. I know more about basketball and football draft picks than i do about baseball picks. mostly it's 'cause i find college baseball to be pretty boring and i don't really have a favorite team.
seeing how the rockies are my hometown teams minor league Parent team one most theorize that they need a brain for a draft choice. oh and some halfway decent pitching. sure the guys they have here are fine at AA but some of em won't make it to AAA or the show.
A half-ways intelligent manager...
Seriously, pitching, pitching, pitching...

Exactly.
wow, the braves have so far drafted 3 players younger than me and another who is 2 weeks older.

We've never shied away from taking high school pitchers, and it's really paid off.
Hochevar went No. 1 to the Royals. Miller slipped all the way to 6th. Surprising.
nah, not surprissing. i've seen miller start about 4 times and he never impressed me. he seems to have a problem with big games, like last year against cesar carillo and this year in the ACC tourney. he's very inconsistent.

I'm not that surprised he didn't go first, but I am a little surprised he fell to 6th. Teams must have been thinking like you.
We picked a ******* outfielder. WTF!!!!!!!!
mets first rounders
Wright
Heilman
Kazmir
Milledge
not too shabby, too bad they did have a 1st round pick this year
Kazmir for Zambrano lmfao
That could be the difference between a world series ring and a NLDS flameout.
On the Reds draft, they took Drew Stubbs first round? Why an outfielder? Only 1 pitcher taken in the 1st 4 rounds

i actually talked to a former UNC pitcher today and he said it was a signability thing. if you can believe it, miller wanted 10 million!!!

That's probably why he slipped, but the Royals are making a mistake if they think Hochevar's gonna be any easier to sign. Afterall, he is represented by Scott Boras.
