[USML Announce] Draft Date/Trade

[James Barrett]

Its a semi-complicated story but due to some family issues, my wife and I need to be in Huntsville, AL the second Saturday of every month.  This also means we're driving down here (I am in Huntsville as I type this) on the Friday and returning on the Sunday.  I couldn't even attend by phone on second weekends like 4/10.  Sorry.  If I'm the sole roadblock to a 4/10 draft, I volunteer to withdraw for the season and maybe resume next year.

Still wondering if Saturday 4/10 works.  If not, I would try to make a week night, but it would be tough.

I say we pick a night to do the draft then if there's no weekend. Most of the fun comes that time and I'd love to make it work if John and Andy can pull it off.

               I figure no news is not good news on the draft date front.  Just checking in since the sooner we get this nailed down the better.
               More importantly, although the all important Baseball America Top 100 isn't yet out, Keith Law of ESPN.com has released his top 100 prospect list and I wanted to make sure that people fully appreciated the kind of talent that I'm making available:
               Justin Smoak - #9
       Jesus Montero - #10
       Brian Matusz - #11
       Neftali Feliz - #13
       Aaron Hicks - #19
       Eric Hosmer - #34
       Lars Anderson - #56
       Mike Moustakas - #69
       Jake Arrieta - #90
       Grant Green - #93
               Baseball HQ also has its top 100 prospects list out.  Here's where these same guys line up on that list:
               Justin Smoak - #5
       Jesus Montero - #3
       Brian Matusz - #9
       Neftali Feliz - #10
       Aaron Hicks - #54
       Eric Hosmer - #27
       Lars Anderson - #81
       Mike Moustakas - #63
       Jake Arrieta - #64
       Grant Green - #89
              Are you sensing a pattern? And remember that these are top 100 lists that include NL players.                 And, yes, I can hear Brad Lee in the background advising everyone that I'll have to let some of these guys go.  Maybe so, but do you really think a single one of them slips past the $10 rounds?  And check out their salaries:
               Smoak - $2
       Montero - $2
       Matusz - $2 (Full disclosure - contract is running)
       Feliz - $2
       Hicks - $5
       Hosmer - $2
       Anderson - $5
       Moustakas - $10
       Arrieta - $5
       Green - $5
               And if your tastes don't run to minor leaguers, take a look at the rest of my roster.  Would you like to build around Arod?  At $32, you definitely wouldn't get him for that at the draft.  Are you a White Sox fan?  How about the soon to be 2nd base eligible Gordon Beckham at $15?  Like young pitchers?  Rick Porcello at $5 should be intriguing.  And there's more where they came from.
               You know where to find me.  Let's make a deal!
