2009 Draft Talks

[Providence A's]

I'll be making my pick soon as TB traded the 3rd pick to me as part of the Zambrano deal.

[General]

Vlad sucks too much in this game.

Draft class can't be viewed?

[Kingdom]

Draft class can't be viewed?

What?

[nick]

Sorry, I didn't notice the draft started. Let me examine this. I'll pick within the next few minutes here.

[Providence A's]

I Just want to pick tonight! 5th pick should be damn good. I may deal the pick it will all depend on whats offered! Pm me with offers.

I need everything!

it's your pick now. Nick just picked the guy I was seriously considering picking, but I went with the MLB ready Kuntz instead...Priest is solid as solid does.

[mntwinsfan]

Yeah I wanted Priest as well. Took the guy nicknamed " General" He was the other guy I wanted. Jones will be the best player in the draft hands down.

[Porter]

St. Louis traded its pick to Houston.

Seattle traded its 2010 pick to NYY...just a reminder

Too bad its 2009, and its dealt to TEX

[Dry1313]

Yeah, it was Preist or Manhunter.

I liked the speed of Manhunter though.

[Providence A's]

I loved the readiness of Kuntz...he can help the Cardinals this year and could allow me to move someone.

[Providence A's]

Too bad its 2009, and its dealt to TEX

too bad you forget your own terrible deals and my original post was before you made the deal with Texas anyway.

see here

Seattle Receives:
SS Alex Rodriguez, 4.5 Star, $27,000,000

New York (A) Receives:
1st round Ammy Pick in 2008
1st round Ammy pick in 2010
Andrew Clark, 5.0 Spect 1B, MLC
Jack Wilson, 2.0 Star SS, $6,100,000
4 million to be paid in 2009 and 2010

so that's the 2008, 2009, and 2010 1st round picks that you've dealt.

[Dry1313]

Yeah, he does look sweet...but since I'm rebuilding anyway, I wanted the most value.

[Providence A's]

no doubt...believe me, I considered Priest and Stone...and if Jones was there, I would have seriously considered him, too.

The fact that I've had many prospects crap out on me has led me to the strategy of drafting ready or very close to ready players. I drafted Vargo the first year with the 30th pick...yes, he's not a stud, but fits his role of 1B against lefties and is very cheap. Last year I drafted Carbajal who is up with my team this year and leading the major leagues in SBs. Kuntz fits that same mold...2007 was the only year of the 4 where I didn't have that option.

[Halladay_is_God]

I think Priest will be the better player
