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.
All the reports out of Stros Camp has been we will draft a top college pitcher. Matsuz will be drafted before us, and that leaves Crow and Shooter Hunt. If Crow is gone, then we will draft Hunt, if they are both gone I don't know who we will draft.

The one thing Ed Wade can do is draft. If he drafts Hunt, he will be better than Bogusevic. But really, Bog and Hunt really have nothing in common other than they're from the same college.

Plus, who doesn't want a guy named Shooter. :clap:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BASEBALL PLAYER AND EVERYONE ELSE?

I could swear everyone in the draft was a baseball player? What a stupid ass scouting cliche.

Son of a bitch.. I really wanted Crow or Hunt, anybody know anything about Castro?

It wasn't really a horrible pick since Maxx Sapp sucks ( 1st rounder in 06 ), Left hander hits the ball pretty well, plays good defense, but it says he can't hit off-speed pitches ugh.

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.
Well, as you saw, we DID get one of those guys. We drafted SL's guy, Gordon Beckham. A lot of Sox fans are dissapointed with the pick. They wanted Smoak because Smoak has a great swing and a shitload of power, and I think is a switch hitter. Beckham however is said to only have above average defense, above average power, above average speed, and basically all his tools are average to above average. He is probably a pretty safe pick, but he dosen't like look a superstar, but looks like a decent major leaguer. I really don't like his swing too much, he seems to swing too much like Brian Anderson, which is never a good thing.
