Colvin and Singleton look to be good picks, but how is Way an "awesome pick?" He's a college senior from WSU, he really has no place to go but the Minors. He's going to sign.

Dude from Canada was 6th, I don't hate the Way pick but would not call it awesome.

Yeah I forgot about Inch sandwiched in between there, my bad

Angels picked Jake Locker (Washington QB, Tim Tebow lite) earlier.

None of these broadcast things are working for me. What round are they even in?

why lolz?

...because the guy was destined to be a Phillies pick - it was only a matter of when. 14th round probably means that he turned down their offer to be their 3rd round pick but the Phillies want to keep talking. At least that's my guess.

tool shed...he was mentioned as a possibility for our first pick
