Was that the guy we did or almost drafted years ago? Or wasn't his name Kris Austin or Kris Wilson? Or am I completely confused?

We drafted him and he opted for college. It was going to take 1st round money to buy him out of his scholarship.

I'd be pretty underwhelmed with most of those drafts. Not a Cabot Jagielo, Crawford is a guy who has underperformed this year, and Hunter Renfroe is a funky player who is a bit of a one year wonder. Can't imagine him being a star.

Dominic Smith is an undersized, 1B only prospect with a great arm and underwhelming power. I never want to draft a 1B only prospect out of high schoolin the 1st round (or even a college 1B only guy) early.

I don't want Peterson either and he'll probably go top-15 or so.

Such an interesting draft I'm looking forward to seeing what strategy we employ. I still wouldn't have taken Ramsey last year, even with knowledge of already getting to AA. I wish we'd have come out with Robert Stephenson instead, whom I had top-10 overall last year.

Seth Manaea just got lifted from the Indiana State-Creighton game without throwing a single pitch. That's not going to help him.

What was the reason? Is he hurt?

Manea`s shoulder started to inflame. He started to feel it during his warm up pitches. They don`t know if he`ll pitch the rest of this season.

Thanks. That's going to hurt his draft stock.

Manea has had a hip problem all season. It recently flared up again and he got a cortisone shot this week. But this time his shoulder acted up. He`s going to be reevaluated this week.
