Navery Moore went in the 14th round to the Braves. Any chance he'll return because of this? Secondly, does anyone else think it's odd that our 7-8th inning guy (Mark Lamm) went 8 rounds earlier than our closer?
Who is David Hill????
Probably means Taylor Hill, our Sunday starter.
What a crappy time to have the draft. Can't they wait until after the CWS? I hope our team isn't distracted - Karol remember Sowers getting spanked by Texas a couple days after he was drafted.
It would be nice if they'd wait until after the CWS, but I understand. The Rookie and Class A short-season leagues start in mid-June. I can see where they need to go ahead and prepare rosters. Plus it helps kids who aren't in the postsesason (like Alex Meyer from UK) start getting ready.
Andrew: A bit, but it's probably because Lamm's a senior. Small/mid-market teams like that, because seniors don't have the negotiation option of going back to school for one more year.
I'm more concerned that Tim Lincecum wins 2 Cy Youngs in a row, and the overwhelming reaction to Sonny is "Durr, he's too short!" How can MLB still be so full of scouts with their heads up their asses?
