Draft day #2

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in News

You think yesterday was a long day, with 202 players selected?  Today there will be well over 1,000 more players picked, over about 40 more rounds.  Just like I tend to dork out over marginal major leaguers will little chance of sticking, this is the part of the draft that I really like.  Not that I know much about many of the players, but if you look at what an organization does over 45 picks, you get a much better idea of their philosophy than you do from day 1 alone.

Also, I went to every game at the D3 World Series last month, and a few of the players who starred there are likely to be chosen today.  If that isn't exciting, I don't know what is.

The coverage starts today at 10:30 CT ...I'm not sure whether that means that the punditry starts then or pick #203 is right at 10:30.  I don't know how long it will last, but I'm guessing it will take us all the way to game time.

A few links to keep you in the know:

Also, if you're just catching up, there are tons of links to coverage of our draftees in the two draft threads from yesterday.  Just scroll down.

Go Jack Z!

More pitching

We are going to have a lot of players on the rookie bal team pitching if we can sign these guys…

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

pronunciation guess

“Wah-ray-seck” maybe. And I’ve literally never heard of anybody named “Stosh” before…

Ah, I don't have the broadcast open.

He's the guy that the Brewers consulted RE: Lawrie

He’s played with/against him a bunch.

He's extremely quick and good.

Damon Krestalude, RHP

“Krestalude”? Now I’m positive they’re just picking by name.

Out of 11 picks so far, 8 pitchers and all of them right-handed…

They’re trying to corner the market on RHP so they can face more lefties.

Ingenious!

Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

5 more pitchers in 5 selections since my above post

and 4 of them RHP. I think you’re on to something.

listen/watch to the live feed of this thing. it’s weirdly gripping.

Pat Venditte!

He’s off the board to the Yankees. He’s the famed “switch-pitcher” from Creighton.

And hey look, the Indians just took a super-obscure NAIA guy!

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 6, 2008 12:59 PM CDT   0 recs

That's illegal in the MLB and its leagues, right?

I love that strategy. Makes me sad if they won’t let him do it in the pros.

by jihad on Jun 6, 2008 1:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it's legal

you just can’t change sides during an at-bat. you can pitch lefty to one guy and righty to the next, though.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 6, 2008 2:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Can he wear his two handed glove, though?

If so, I want to year Zdrenklkdcizkdik’s explanation for not picking him.

Hey, another Azusa guy

And he’s named Johnny Bravo, awesome. Too bad we didn’t pick him, the Cards did…

by Zeyes on Jun 6, 2008 1:25 PM CDT   0 recs

The Cards have a stat guy

who, I would guess, is digging pretty deep into those talent pools.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 6, 2008 1:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

And there goes another Azusa guy

Azusa and Lewis-Clark State (ID) absolutely dominate NAIA—LC has had a few guys taken too.

Has anyone from Wisconsin gone yet?

Phil Schreiber hasn't gone yet (Kaukauna RHP)

He’s got a scholarship to Iowa, and it looks like he’s going to be going there. He was a possibility for about the fifth round if a team thought they could sign him, but it looks he’s going on to college. You’ll hear his name in the next few years… low 90’s fastball and a good, consistent curve, and he’s a good hardworking guy, too.

finally, draft day is complete...
