It will be an interesting story to follow heading into June.

His demand is too high for a hitter with plenty of flaws in bat. Yeah, Tigers could be the highest possibly position that would have him. We will see.

The Mets don't like spending a lot on the draft, but I'd be absolutely stunned if they were to pass on Harper just because of the attention he has/will bring.

Bryan Harper? is he that any good?

We usually draft the big names that fall in the draft for one reason or another. Kazmir, Milledge, and Pelfrey all were projected higher than where we got them. We also forked over the bigger bonuses that they asked for. I have tons of problems with the way we draft but most of the time they do the right thing in the 1st round.

That breaking ball is absolutely fantastic

No. His brother Bryan, a southpaw. He is projected in the teen round.

Someone needs to shoot his leg now so Yankees can draft him. He has about 4 above average pitches already and he is a freaking HS pitcher. damn.

Mets at 7th spot. damn. They have to spend a thousand of hours to pick right prospect.

Jason Heyward seems like a cool guy.

M.O.T.H. · 03-26-2010, 02:31 PM

He's the bee's knees and a swell fella.

Giantsfan1080 · 03-26-2010, 02:31 PM

Tallion is going to be asking for a ton of money also. Draft is going to be very interesting this year.

I want him at 2, but I don't know how well Hunnington likes HS arms in the first.

I know for a fact that Neal will most likely pass on Harper if he is there.

yeah, Pirates are that easy to read..lol.. which college players are likely to be a Buc? Deck Mcguire or Bryce Brentz sounds good to me so far.

I like Bentz a lot. I love his bat and he could fill in as our future 1B. I like that LSU pitcher, but he's hurt and I am tired of grabbing damaged goods in the draft. Drew Pomeranz and Christian Colon are two other guys I can see the Pirates considering.

Better or worse than having one of your better prospects leaving baseball to become a priest?

not sure but sucks nonetheless

Brodeur · 03-26-2010, 07:52 PM

I suppose Duffy is a better prospect than Desme so I guess it would hurt worse.
