Hey Gengler,

Any thoughts where to put Beckham in the prospect list?

RJ is not an elitist douchebag who hates scouting

by ttnorm on Jun 8, 2008 11:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Well...

Price is ahead of him and our clear #1, for sure. I’d say McGee, Davis, and Hellickson are above him, too. Then it basically comes down to him vs. Brignac for #5, and I’d give the slight edge to Brignac, but if Beckham comes out mashing and hits well this year, he can pass Reid on the off-season list.

by Kevin Gengler on Jun 8, 2008 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

No. 6, really?

You have him that low? I’d place him at No. 2 or No. 3, depending on Wade Davis.

Draftee..

25th Rounder Josh Satow started for ASU tonight in their super-regional game vs. Fresno State.

Line:
3.2 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 1 HBP, 2 BB, 3 K

Not-so-good.

Longlorious.

The college season is over for our draft picks. There will be no Rays draftees at the College World Series.

Fresno State does what they couldn’t do with Matt Garza and what no other #4 seed has done—advance to Omaha.

Longlorious.

Anyone see the article on ESPN Fantasy Baseball Page?

Kyle Lobstein was considered a sleeper, and compared to an Andy Pettite/Tom Glavine type. Hell I’ll take that.

Does that mean...

He uses steroids, or he’s old? Or both?

#5 Mike Sheridan signed
5 pick Mike Sheridan (1B, College of William and Mary) signed Tuesday evening.

Do you happen to have a link for that?

I was in the room ...

I was present at the signing. I have digital photos, but I don’t know how to post one.

That's good enough for me.

Thanks.

Dyer, Jarman, Tweedy, Appel, and McKenna are listed on HV’s roster on MiLB.com.

Interesting that we know where most of the draftees are going, but people in the org apparently don’t.

by DAM on Jun 12, 2008 2:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Well..

We know where about 10 are headed, not “most.” And we have no idea what’s happening with the guys who played at Princeton and HV last year and haven’t been assigned to a full-season team this season.

by Kevin Gengler on Jun 12, 2008 2:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

It just seems odd. They have a game on Tuesday and no players? All these players have to travel, move in, get set up to live there. And there’s getting unis to fit, equipment to the clubhouse, etc. Seems awfully rushed. Plus, their so young, some have never been away from home before. I would think you would want a week to get them settled in, familiar with the town and so forth.

But to your point, true, we don’t know where all the guys in extended spring are going. And I can’t wait to find out!

Smith and Long

9th rounder Shawn Smith is on Princeton’s roster.
34th rounder Matt Long signed and is also on Princeton’s roster.

by DAM on Jun 13, 2008 3:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Princeton

Draftees at Princeton (so far): Jeremy Beckham, Brian Bryles, Jason McEachern, Matt Long, James Bagley, David Geneo, Mike Jarman (sorry, think I misled you on him). Article.

by DAM on Jun 14, 2008 1:57 PM EDT reply actions  

If Jeremy's signed, then Tim won't be that far behind.

It would be hilarious, though unlikely, if both brothers made it to the big club together down the line.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Add 11 and 28

Per Stacy Long:

11 Brad Furdal and 28 Tommy Rafferty both have signed.

by DAM on Jun 19, 2008 6:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Guys I consider important to sign

2. Kyle Lobstein – You have to sign your 2nd round pick
4. Ty Morrison – You have to sign your 4th round pick
15. Brandon Meredith – Toolbox
21. Ryan Carpenter – I think he’s every bit as good as Lobstein
29. Brandon Magee – Toolbox
37. Kramer Champlin – Named after the Seinfeld character. Come on.

by Kevin Gengler on Jun 19, 2008 6:55 PM EDT reply actions  

That's helpful

I was wondering which guys we hadn’t signed that were seen as good prospects…
