I don't get MLB Network, so **** MLB Network and AT&T U-Verse for not working out an agreement to carry it.

I've been out of the loop this year. I have no idea who is good and who isn't. All i know is about Strasburg.

Keith Law is saying Aaron Crow and Tanner Scheppers could fall out of the first round due to signability concerns. If Crow is there at 26, I really hope the Brewers take him.
In the first reach of the draft, the Pirates are going to take Boston College catcher, Tony Sanchez fourth overall.

7. Minor
according to the Mayo's Mock, White goes to the Reds and Matzek goes to the Tigers.
Reds are up next.

Oh my God this draft coverage is so amazingly bad it's hysterical. Nobody involved save for Callis seems like they did more than skim Baseball America for two hours... and Reynolds didn't even do that. It's making ESPN draft coverage seem like amazing presentation.
+Bud Selig magic.

One of the MLB Network analysts said that the Reds developed Edinson Volquez. Uh...I'm pretty sure they traded Josh Hamilton for him.

Sanchez was a major surprise as he's a second or third round talent.
