Well, it appears one of the names that caused a heated discussion in this thread, Sean Burroughs, has agreed to a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners.

God forbid I make a mistake and post it again lol. In all seriousness though, you could have simply have left it at the first post, no need to make another post to provide a link, I trust you because otherwise you wouldn't have made the first post.

Sorry if I came on strong, I was just pointing it out to point it out.

Ohh Im not upset or anything and I didn't want to give that impression either. I was just stating that Im on this forum several times daily and try to stay up-to-date on most things MLB related and simply missed it. I didn't want you to think I just posted it without believeing it hadn't been posted. I usually check this thread because I enjoy discussing baseball with most of you Padre fans, so I must have mistakenly over looked it.

To be fair, I think the Rocky Mountain News got the scoop on the signing long before any other news source got it.

I was shown that link on another forum and posted it here, but it wasn't reported anywhere else.

Then, suddenly, yesterday all the general sports sites were reporting it.

At 37,38 he most likely would move from CF to one of the corner OF positions because of the wear and tear everyday CF's have to withstand over several seasons.

He need only hold down the fort for 2-3 years in CF....by then hopefully Cedric Hunter, a very promising prospect, might be ready....and this guy appears to have some talent....

It's nice to actually have good drafts

[padrefanforever]

Lets hope this next one is a great draft for us....could turn our farm system around in one swoop....

[FmrFresnan]

Speaking of the draft, there are a few names out there that I would draft....here are a few of my favorites.

Andrew Miller (SP) North Carolina
13-2 2.11 ERA

Tim Lincecum (SP) Washington
12-4 1.94 ERA
The Pac-10 pitcher of the year led the nation in strikeouts with 44 more than second-place finisher David Price and became the conference’s career strikeout leader with 491.

*My top guy
Eddie Degerman (SP) Rice
13-1 1.81 ERA
Degerman used his excellent deception and velocity to rank among the nation's top 10 in wins, ERA and strikeouts while serving as the ace for the country’s top-ranked team.

Cole St. Clair (RP) Rice
6-1 1.82 ERA 11 Saves 1.44 BAA

Jacob Dempsey (OF) Winthrop
.403 BA 17 HR's 78 RBI's .738 SLG

Sorry to bust your bubble but Linecum is a Giant and has been called the left handed Roy Oswalt

So? Sandy can draft him out of the Giants' system
