	Mark,

	A combination of early struggles, a bit of attitude and Scott Boras as his agent all conspired to move him down.  The Berliner management is particularly impressed with the attitude.  We expect that he'll fit it nicely.

	Kentrail Davis still on the board through #18.  Baseball America's Jim Callis predicts he won't go in the first round, but we'll see.

	very lucky.  I thought he had long been slated to go to SD at #3.

		I am very pleased to report that Grant Green was just chosen by the Oakland Athletics with the #13 pick.  That leaves only Kentrail Davis on the board.

		Thanks for the update, Jeff.  While I have less personal interest in this than in past years, I still take great interest in the draft itself.

			Gentlemen (and Brad Lee),

			The 2009 MLB Minor League Draft is under way.  It turns out that there weren't too many draft eligible players chosen in the reserve round.  In fact, as far as I can tell, there were only four selected:

			Grant Green - Berliners
			Dustin Ackley - Red Hots
			Kentrail Davis - Red Hots
			Stephen Strasburg - Hoosier Daddies

			Stephen Strasburg was the overall #1 choice of the Washington Nationals.  As Mr. Gammons soon recognized, he won't be playing in the AL and he was therefore released long ago.

			Dustin Ackley was taken #2 by the Seattle Mariners and should have a quick path to he majors if his bat holds up once he switches to wood.  Congratulations Rich.

			Davis and Green have not yet been drafted, but I will update you as soon as they come off the board.

			That is all.

			TOeFuKi
