This years draft

by Allen13 on Jan 20, 2007 12:20 PM CST

If it were legal, would anyone trade up in this years draft for a almost ML ready player. Our middle of the first round players are turning out good but not great. Tex comes to mind as a upper first round guy, but I guess we could have missed on him also if his injury did not clean up.

I do not follow many college games, but I did watch a game with a great looking lefty starter wearing a ghetto sideways hat. To those who do follow, what is his name and is he the type of player that I am speaking of? Who else falls in this category?

can't trade draft picks

That didn't change with the new CBA, did it?

knowing

the teams involved in this college game may help in identifying this "great looking lefty starter wearing a ghetto sideways hat"

I believe you may be thinking of

...Ricky Romero, from Cal State Fullerton. He was a senior in 2006, and was drafted by the Blue Jays.

I could, however, be wrong. I remember watching this guy pitch in the CWS and thinking he was pretty good, but needed to straighten his hat.

I suck at memory

Romero was drafted in 2005, #6 overall. You may indeed be thinking of someone else.

An almost ready major leaguer

you mean like Johnathon Johnson?

The MLB draft is such a crap shoot, you just pick the best player no matter what every time.

Also, that was the vaguest description of a player ever.

Jason Botts: 500+ AB's in '07, or bust!!!

The Player

I believe he was white, fairly tall 6'5'', they wore grey jerseys and were a fairly good team. The game I watched was against Texas I believe. The announcers were high on him in this years draft.
