any big time guys who have dropped today (like harold martinez last year)?

who are everyone’s guys to grab thats left?

what was everyone’s fav 2nd day pick?

GO RANGERS!

I almost feel hungover in a baseball pants sense. I’ll need to detox a bit before the international FA sign date.

I seriously had to do a double take, I thought it was Ron Washington for a second.

and reading through Jason Cole’s excellent chat today, i think theres a pretty decent chance we sign 20 or few of these top 31 picks, and honestly, if we get up to 22 or so, i’ll be pretty happy about it. Our system simply didn’t have room for the typical org soldiers you see drafted, so they went out and grabbed a bunch of kids who they have a chance at signing (and yet stayed away from kids who seemed legitimately out of reach for the most part). The only picks i truly didn’t like were our seventh rounder, Lane, and our 12th rounder, DiFazio. Lane seems unlikely to sign, and there is still too much legit talent on the board in the 7th (we grabbed Bianucci there last season, for example) to take a flier on a kid like Lane. DiFazio I am tempted to take a wait and see approach, as he had battled injuries the past two years and put up great numbers in limited action this past year, so maybe there’s something there, but he still seemed like a reach at 12.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next two months. We usually take fliers in the later rounds on about five intriguing prepsters, but this year we have about 12 guys like that. If we can just sign three or four, I’d be more than pleased.
