    Evan Frederickson's K rate this year: 13.14 Whoa.

    Gutierrez got taken in the first round by Minnesota, in a bit of a shocker. My mock draft: 16 - Josh Fields, RHP (Georgia) Went #20 to the Mariners. In retrospect, this was not a very wise pick to project Jack Z to make. 32 - Eric Thames, OF (Pepperdine) Tore his quad and didn't get selected in first six rounds. I think he'll be a steal for someone. Was #90 on BA's list (pre-injury). 35 - Brett Lawrie, C (British Columbia HS) Rocketed up boards and was rumored to go as high as seventh overall. Nailed this one, just didn't realized how high he would rise. 53 - Chris Carpenter, RHP (Kent State) Went #97 to the Cubs. #61 on BA's list. 54 - Brett Hunter, RHP (Pepperdine) I knew he'd fall because of injury, but he did come back at the end of the year; nobody bit, though, and he makes the second Pepperdine player I mocked to go undrafted. Stupid Pepperdine. #51 on BA's list. 62 - Jordan Danks, OF (Texas) Undrafted, and I'm not sure why. #86 on BA's list. 94 - Scott Gorgen, RHP (UC-Irvine) Went #125 to the Cardinals; ranked #183 on BA's list. I still think he's going to be good and is being unjustly knocked for his size. Best changeup in the draft. I also mentioned taking Josh Lindblom at #62, and he went #61 to the Dodgers. Much better than most of my actual picks!

    Might be getting blackballed a bit.

    What happened to Eric Thames and Zach Putnam?

    Lucroy hit a triple? At least Braddock's K's are up.

    Cain and Gillespie and Brantley aren't really similar prospects.

    Lawrie on catching:

    Colby, don't you think Frederickson got a little overdrafted? Wouldn't he have been there in the 50s?

    Colby's buddy on Frederickson:

    Perry threw a couple 100mph fastballs with everyone watching, and he apparently has the potential for three plus pitches. I think his fastball is pretty straight though.

    Colby, do you think anyone other than Alvarez is worth the money among Boras kids?
  13. battlekow
    Isn't Alonso also supposed to be falling due to a perceived increase in his bonus demands?
  14. battlekow
    That's exactly who everyone is comparing him too. His ceiling is somewhat limited; people are divided on his power upside, but he seems like a .280 hitter with 15-20 HR power and good defense.

    The best bit of that article:

    Didn't Collier have a bad workout for the Brewers?
  17. battlekow
    Their lack of athleticism will excite most Brewers fans?
  18. battlekow
    Haha, man, just what we need: another guy who can only play first.
  19. battlekow
    I'm stoked. I've been counting down for a week.

    Castro at #8 would be hilarious. I dunno, but you seem pretty smart, so I'm open to merging. How hot is your girlfriend?
  21. battlekow
    I don't know man, you seem to be after this pretty hard. I think Sickels' quote about Hardy is exactly who he is as a fielder: good hands, an accurate & very strong arm, good instincts, but range limited by quickness. I'm sorry that BF.net called him "stunning" and got you overexcited. All I know is that the consensus is that Escobar has excellent range and is a better defensive SS than Hardy, and that jibes with what I saw this spring training.
  22. battlekow
    You think Hardy has a Jeter-esque lack of range? I think Hardy plays above-average defense; is it Gold Glove-caliber? Maybe not. Does that mean he was technically overhyped? Yeah, I guess so. Does everyone agree that Escobar is better? Yes. I'm not really sure what the problem is: we'd be replacing a good defensive shortstop with a better one.
  23. battlekow
    The only thing that worries me is that people said that JJ was a plus defender with Gold Glove potential when he was in the minors. I hope Escobar's defense is not being oversold like JJ's was. JJ is a fine defender, but nobody ever said he had the range Escobar has.
  24. battlekow
    That's relieving. Coupled with Mayo's quote about the Twins looking for college arms, that gives me hope for Lawrie, for whom I've really developed a lust.
  25. battlekow
    Goldstein/BP has Lawrie going #7 to the Reds, Sickels has him going #14 to the Twins, & Mayo/MLB has him going #16 to us, with this comment about the Twins' #14 selection:
