MLB Draft on ESPN2

[rzrbckfan426]

I could see the Jays looking for a good left handed pitcher to supplement the RH Roy Halladay up there in canada.  But they are also looking for a good OF prospect

[Hogtropolis™]

But nobody likes the reds, i hope the cards get him since we didn't.

I hope the Cards get him as well.  They have a few minor league clubs fairly close (Springfield and Memphis).  Also, how cool would it be if he fell to the Royals next pick and ended up pitching in NWA again.  Or if he went to the Angels and ended up pitching NLR.

[zebra]

With Texas and St. Louis next, that would keep Nick regional.

[Hogtropolis™]

What happened to Billy Koch?

[Hogtropolis™]

With the 16th overall selection in the 2007 MLB Draft, the Toronto Blue Jays select Kevin Ahrens, a third baseman from Memorial HS in Houston, Texas.

The Rangers are now on the clock.

[BigDave70]

He's a kid thats 6-2 180 switch hitter, Compaired to Chipper Jones and has an above average arm and is said to be the best hitter out of Texass

[Break & Run]

rzkbackman, you're confident about Schmidt not falling out of the first round, arent u? lol, dont worry, he'll be a good pitcher wherever he goes

[demonHOG1013]

With the 15th overall selection in the 2007 MLB Draft, the Cincinnati Reds select Devin Mesoraco, a catcher from Punxsutawney HS in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

The Blue Jays are now on the clock.

You know they are gonna call this guy "Punxsutawney Phil"

[rzrbckfan426]

I just want him to go to a team that I like.  It sucks when you have a player that you liked in college go to a team that you hate.  When I was a kid I love Julio Franco (the really old guy) and when the braves picked him up I loved it.  But now he's on the mets which just chaps my ass.

[Hogtropolis™]

With the 17th overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft, the Texas Rangers select Blake Beavan, a RHP from Irving HS in Irving, Texas.

My Cards are now on the clock!  Make it a good one Walt!

[BigDave70]

He's a kid that is 6-7 210, He has a fastball mid 90's, outstanding slider

[TuckFexas]

Come on Cardinals!!!! Pick NS! Pick NS!

[demonHOG1013]

pitcher, lefty, from stl. cmon walt

[BigDave70]

That would be awsome tuck

[bulldog04]

I bet the Cards take Nick.  Hometown kid and the Cards like college players

[TuckFexas]

It would be too sweet. Springfield isn't that far from here for AA. And I love going to STL to watch games.

[bulldog04]

Porcello would be a great pick now or that Harvey kid.

[Hogtropolis™]

With the 18th overall selection in the 2007 MLB Draft, the St. Louis Cardinals select Pete Kozma, a SS from Owasso HS in Owasso, Oklahoma.  (Dang it, I wish they would have taken Schmidt.)

The Phillies are now on the clock.

[demonHOG1013]

Hey, Hogtropolis, what ever happened to Bo Hart??

[BigDave70]

He's a kid that is 6-1 180 , has great instincts and is consistant could be a lead off or 2 spot hitter, they said he's not above average at anything, they said this is a Conservative pick

[Since 1894]

Damn

[demonHOG1013]

He's a kid that is 6-1 180 , has great instincts and is consistant could be a lead off or 2 spot hitter, they said he's not above average at anything, they said this is a Conservative pick

So how does a kid get drafted outta high school who is not above average in any one area?

[Hogtropolis™]

Hey, Hogtropolis, what ever happened to Bo Hart??

I think he is in the minors somewhere still.  He was pretty much just a "shot in the pan" type of player that contributed and helped out tremendously one year, but that was about it.  I think he will end up being a career minor league player.  I did love him though.

[Hogtropolis™]

With the 19th overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies select Joe Savery, a RHP/1B from Rice University.

The Dodgers are now on the clock.

[bulldog04]

I'm glad Nick didn't go the Phillies.  The Dodgers would be a great organization to be in.

He is hitting .241 in Lancaster, PA, for the Lancaster Barnstormers.

[BigDave70]

He's a kid that is 6-3 215, He had Tommy John, He has a fastball in the low 90's and he lead Rice in Hitting

[Break & Run]

lmao! well, i'm an astro fan so i dont want him going anywhere in the NL.

[Hogtropolis™]

It's starting to look like Schmidt might be a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds.

[rzrbckfan426]

The dodgers are def. on the incline.  The MLB rumor place has that being one of the places that Arod or Ichiro might end up by the end of the yr.

[3kgthog]

If NS falls to the second round does he stay? LOL I can hope can't I?

[Hogtropolis™]

With the 20th overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers select Chris Withrow, a RHP from Midland Christian HS in Midland, Texas.

The Blue Jays are now back on the clock.

[dakpowers]

Hey, their AA team is in the Texas league as well (San Antonio Missions), so he'll be playing close (once he gets there).
