[USML Announce] Minor League Draft

Tue Jun 9 22:00:04 EDT 2009

Strasburg is the only guy in this class in the Wieters/Price category. ?After that, they're all just random spins at the wheel.

You picked up Wieters and Price in a very shrewd fashion 
and then flipped those beans for seasoned major league talent in a year where 
you have a strong shot at winning the league.? You don't do that by 
following the COPS formula.? You have also become a student of the 
mid-season draft.? If it walks like a duck. . .

I said I like the draft; lets not go 
wild.

Jeff's right -- you are clearly in the DUMP camp my 
  friend.

Predictions I have seen put him in that post-first round 
  compensatory picks area.

I thought that Kentrail has struggled.? His stock 
    seems to have fallen.? I've not seen him in recent first round 
    predictions -- but I've not looked to hard either.

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.
