Saw it elsewhere

Namely, at Sickels’ place.

There’s a lot here that makes sense. There’s some here that I question.

1 makes sense. They’ve been looking at Posey and it seems like it really is coming down to him and T Beckham. I think that Beckham is the more likely pick. He just FEELS like a Rays draft pick. 2 makes so much sense I’ve thought for weeks that it was more likely to be the choice than not. 3 As a Royals fan, I’m really hoping that they’re coming to the same decison I am, which is that Beckham is the first choice, but if he goes to Tampa, then Smoak is the choice. I don’t think they’re talking to or about Smoak at this point so I have no idea what will happen if Beckham gets popped #1. I would be shocked if they go with Hosmer. It’s possible, but it would just be a shock to me. 4- I don’t doubt that is a distinct possibility. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they go with Posey, Gordon Beckham, or Smoak. 5 If he’s there, the Beckham the younger would be a great haul. But it would also mean that the Royals passed him up, which would be disappointing to me. Basically the same mix as #4 applies here. 6 Okay 7 I question Crow going here. The Reds don’t seem like a team that will go with a hard to sign player with some abiguity in his track record, but that may be me projecting my own opinion on others. And I kind of picture somebody more along the lines of Gordon Beckham, Matusz, or Scheppers. They have gone for some high school guys recently though. Crow just seems like a weird fit. 8 Hard to tell. If Gordon is still available, that would be a good pick. I have to wonder how likely that is though. 9 Now here’s somewhere I can see Crow going. I could also see Hosmer or Smoak or Skipworth if the Fish pass on him and go elsewhere. 10 Pass

Sorry about the formatting there.

You’d think I was never a writer here who actually knew how to actually make things look somewhat readable.

Ha.

You could’ve just blamed it on the new posting system. Also, nice seeing you back around here.

Just found another post on MLB Trade Rumors today...

MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo reports that Tanner Schepper has a stress fracture in his right shoulder. He thinks it will probably drop him in the draft making him a sleeper.
