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

Boras is going to make you guys sell your soul (or 10 million) to sign him, but he should be worth it. He had the talent to go #1.

The lack of 2nd and 3rd round picks will help us gather the cash. Thanks Danys Baez (blech!) and Chad Bradford (eh...).

Based on what I've heard, if Dominguez is still there I wouldn't be surprised to see him going to the Reds.

But I really dig Parker, more so than some of these college pitchers selected.

It would be very hard to pass on a guy like Dominguez. And what if Heyward falls to us? Good names still up there. 4 picks to go.

I want a pitcher, but if Dominguez falls to us, it would be hard to pass on him. Porcello is the best left on the board IMO. Aumont still available as well.

A list of the top 5 left?

Porcello
Aumont
Dominguez
Heyward
Schmidt

Brackman is a bit intriguing as well.

[redsrbetter]

There goes Aumont. Seattle with a nice pick.

[missionhockey21]

I like how below Aumont's name it said in big letters, "Physically Imposing," not a bad thing to have associated with you. Seattle was missing a RJ like presence.

[redsrbetter]

Blake Beaven, I forgot about him somehow. Maybe team will keep forgetting. Please stay away from Ahrens here Krivsky!

[missionhockey21]

That's the first video of Aumont I've seen and it seems like everything we've read about him to be true.

I love Beaven.

[redsrbetter]

There goes Dominguez. I am getting nervous now. Sad to see Dominguez go.

I want Porcello more than anything now.

[redsrbetter]

That's the first video of Aumont I've seen and it seems like everything we've read about him to be true.

Dude is tall and throws real hard. ESPN said he may become the best pitcher taken out of the draft. He looks good in that video. Horrible interview though.

[redsrbetter]

I have a feeling Cleveland takes Heyward here...

[redsrbetter]

Its Beau Mills! Passed up Heyward.

I think it is a nice pick though because Mills has power. He is supposed to be a MIF, but may be better suited as a DH?

[redsrbetter]

Nevermind he is a 1B. Nice pick. Power may be better than Moustakas as well.

[missionhockey21]

Mills dropped more than I expected, it seems like Pronk's certain reeplacement. Great bat.

[redsrbetter]

In less than 10 minutes Castelinni and Krivsky are going to make a name for themselves. Either real good or real bad. Two top tier names still available. The Braves take one and we take the other.

Porcello will be very expensive as a Boras client and I have no doubt that he fell this far for that reason. But this could be very huge for us. Lets go Krivsky! RCast, support your troops with your wallet my man!

[missionhockey21]

Mills in his interview sounds like a real great kid.
