Josh Phegley doesn’t deserve all the fun, does he? Time to give a little bit of love to the three left behinds in yesterday’s second to last (thankfully) top college catching prospect tournament or whatever the heck I’ve been calling it. Anyway, the losers yesterday were Tommy Medica, Justin Dalles, and Travis Tartamella. In no particular [...]

Nothing else prepared for a Monday morning, so why not a teeny bit of explanation on the first five picks guessed at on the latest top ten mock? 1.1 Nationals/Strasburg A gimme, right? The seven syllable line about the money (“Twenty mil sounds about right”) is about where I stand as far as where any [...]
1.1 Washington Nationals – Stephen Strasburg High card in the deck Twenty mil sounds about right More hype than Barack 1.2 Seattle Mariners – Dustin Ackley Z’s first draft as boss Will defense dictate the pick?
