The problems here were completely understandable. As IP said, mlb.com was swamped as well. And even worse, MLB Network let Harold Reynolds just keep talking and talking.
Pre-draft I was worried about him wanting to play football in college but the early interviews seem to make it pretty clear that he's planning on signing. Excellent news.
We seem to be pretty short of them right now. I don't recall many potential top-rotation guys available at #43. He could easily be better than bottom of the rotation. I agree with sentiments expressed above- baseball draft is a crapshoot. The only thing you know for sure is which hand guys use to throw. Doesn't hurt to speculate, but declaring someone a bust already seems a bit premature.
OK, I know Thomas struck out, and I'm not a big Thomas fan by any means, but that was a pretty darn good at-bat. Nine pitches, fouled off some close ones. Too bad he couldn't turn one around.
Rex Hudler just informed us that when scouts talk about "makeup", they don't mean makeup on their face. Instead, it means their heart. I miss Bert. Or avian flu. Now switching to silence.
