2007 MLB Draft Day One Discussion (ESPN 2, 2 PM EST to 6 PM EST)

SS Todd Frazier.... ugh, ugh, ugh.

Same old Reds. They are really throwing cash to the wayside like R Cast said they would.

I don't like Alderson for some reason. He is a freak with his control, but I just don't like that he pitches only from the stretch and is touted as a starting pitcher. I think he is much better suited as a closer. And in that case, he could be pretty good.

Fairley was an ok pick IMO. And they could have done a bit better with the Bumgarner pick for sure. I don't think it was as bad as your friend made it seem. But if he is very smart with this stuff, he definitely trumps me. So, he could be right for sure.

I mean, Frazier isn't horrible and has moved up people's list recently (in my draft notebook (yeah, I am a baseball nerd) I had him in my top 50 at last check) but I really had my heart set on a pitcher there.

I hate that he was talking to Detwiler and not Mesoraco about what to expect.

Come back to us Barry!

Still out there for round the sandwich picks:

Matt Harvey
Josh Smoker
Jake Arrieta
Nick Noonan
Julio Borbon
Brett Cecil

A few guys I still like:

Wes Roemer
Kyle Blair

I love the first pick by the Brewers. Matt LaPorta (U of Florida) has a big bat and plays outfield!!! Love it. Would like them to get some more arms for the pitching department as well! We could use a young catcher to, and start developing him for the future!

Jays took LHP Brett Cecil from University of Maryland with the 38th pick

Smoker was taken by Washington at 31

Noonan was taken by the Giants at 32

Wes Roemer is a guy I like too redsr, but if Harvey is there and the Reds don't take him, I will be pissed.

Padres take LF Kellen Kubaki from James Maddison

Jays take SS Justin Jackson fromTC Roberson HS, Asheville, NC, with 45th pick, another high-school SS.

good throwing arm, may not stick at SS.

Harvey must be a Boras guy. Still not taken.

Reds took Todd Frazier on 34.

Harvey is or he would of been long gone. Didn't the Reds say they weren't shy about working with Boras? I wonder if that was all bull.

Anywho, I got to run, it's been fun talking the draft for nearly four hours with you all.

Later mission. I wsh they would messwith Boras. But if that was the case, Porcello would have been picked up.

Curt Schilling just lost a no hitter with 2 outs in the 9th.
