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

I'm hoping the Tigers draft Tyler Matzek at #9.

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.

UGH!!! Tigers picked Turner over Matzek.

There goes Matzek.

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

As take Grant Green

SportsWorld · Post #19 » by **SportsWorld** » Tue Jun 9, 2009 11:19 pm

Rangers should have taken Shelby Miller there.

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