As long as our draft class can beat most other teams' draft classes in football, basketball, and track, I really don't care how they do in baseball.

Oh, wait.

I kind of want to start a "pick the date Anthony Hewitt is released" pool, but I guess thats kind of mean

He won't be released, but traded for someone else's problem in November, 2012.

Scott (Neenah, WI)

If Bryce Harper was eligible where he be picked in today's draft?
Keith Law

First or second. Probably second.

Either my sarcasm detector is off or wo

not off.

hes a lock to go #1 next year if he ends up eligible.

Nats could end up with both Strasburg and Harper. They're the MLB version of the Penguins. I wonder if MLB will fix games for them too once they get their core together

I don't doubt that he'd go one next year, but that slight suggestion that he could have gone ahead of SS this year if he was eligible stopped me in my tracks.

Well, Harper is already a mythical creature. He's like a better version of Wieters. I think in that case, where you have a freakishly good position player and a freakishly good pitcher, the decision becomes a bit tougher

The Pirates went cheap? Shocking!

by **kruker** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 16:14:24

But...but...they traded McClouth to free up money for the draft. What a joke.

by **BassGuiFloyd** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 16:14:54

now that's moneyballish. go bucs!

by **FTN** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 16:18:01

The big rumor going around was that they were going cheap early, because they are going to take that money and use it to sign Miguel Sano on July 2nd.
