If any of them are there at 7, I will grab him.
other possibles as I see them
Prior
Bonds
Nomar
I worry about an Unjuiced 39 year old Bonds. So if I choose between Nomar and Prior, who do I grab. I am biased to a hitter
in the first round.
Draft smart, you HAVE TO draft a hitter first round. Hitters hit every game, pitchers pitch every 5 games. You definetly need a hitter. Someone like Manny Ramirez, Delgado, Sheffield if your not too worried about his thumb.
Sean Tracey has my apologies, we all know Ozzie Guillen is an idiot. I'm rooting for you!
I agree... I don't even touch pitchers till Round 3 the earliest. Only pitcher worth taking the risk on IMO is Prior, and I'd still take Bonds, Nomar, Manny type guys before him.
As for Pedro, Schilling, Halladay, and the other SP who will go early... I'd much rather get Maggs, Rolen, Delgado, THome, Wells type bats, and aim for Vazquez, Moose, Oswalt, Oakland Pitchers in Round 4 or 5
Bonds 7? no way!! And don't draft Nomar that early either. Go with Prior, why pass on the best pitcher out there for a player that not even the best at his position. Go Prior.
Prior is hurt and they don't even know if he'll be ready by the beginning of the season.
Nomar is not worth a 1st round pick.
With the news on Sheff I wouldn't pick him so early.
So I agree with Titanut on the top 6, but if none of those guys is available at 7 then I'd take Manny.
Bluto: Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
