Here's a mock done by Baseball Prospectus: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/06/04/mock.draft/index.html?eref=T1 I love Gordon Beckam. And one of my friends who plays travel ball was in the same tournament as Tim Beckam's travel team a couple of years ago.

I'm good friends with Andruw Cashner's family. My brother played on his little league team, and I just saw Cashner's brother today. As we speak, my mom is on the phone with his mom. |

I REALLY wish Posey will fall to us at #8, but I doubt it. A lot of Sox fans are praying for Smoak, but I dont see the point of drafting a 1B. Either one of the Beckhams would be nice to have too. Basically we need a middle IF or a Catcher. |

No way in hell Posey falls to #8. Doubt he gets past the Royals. |

I doubt any of the people he mentioned will make it to the 8th spot in the draft. The White Sox have been rumored that they will draft a "different" guy. |

Who? All I ever hear about is us getting Smoak, Hosmer, or Alonso. Appearantly we want a slugging 1B to take over for Konerko. |

And you won't get Tim Beckam, either. If SF takes Gordon, Smoak might be the best option.

Tim Beckham and Posey will go top5, but who knows what can happen. |

IF the Stros passed up the opportunity to draft Crow.. I'd be pissed, we don't have nearly enough pitching talent in our system to let him just slip by.

That would be stupid. This is not Basketball or Football. The players don't go on the Major League roster at the inception. You never know how many years it will take, there is too much movement in MLB, and you never know how players will develop to draft by position. You should always draft the best player available with an exception being if you want to build your club through Pitching. |
