They seem more good than bad. Obviously it'd be nice to get our top pick showing his quality.

Wow, they've loaded Brooklyn with this year's high picks. The one game I saw earlier that Niewenhuis kid looked like a player. And with a name like Dock Doyle, he's a lock to make the big leagues as a catcher, right?

Good Choo Choo Coleman post. Won't somebody show some motherly love to Mike Hebert?

Mike is just a tad wild , of course he could be getting squeezed by the umps. Dock Doyle is just such an old school baseball name , I imagine he has one of those twirly mustaches.

you know what i'd love someone to do - go through the drafts of the Minaya period and do that for each one for 2008. that'd be a huge effort but really cool. thanks who ever you are.

Its a particularly funny request coming from naked Morrissey.

Maybe it's been his misfortune to have faced an inordinately high number of midget batters thus far this season.

AG/DC Jul 22 2008 10:58 AM

Let's work backwards. I did 2008. Who wants to do 2007?

duan Jul 22 2008 11:09 AM

Morrissey certainly won't. He's very busy.

baseball reference.com shows that all of Haven's ABs have come as a DH thus far. Is that accurate? anyone know why not playing ss or 2b? http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=37072

Check out the player threads in the Adopted Forums and you'll generally find out information on the different prospects. According to his adoption thread, Havens has a strained right elbow and has been DHing to avoid throwing while it's rehabbing. He's currently out with a groin pull.
