      That seem a tad high to anyone else?

        Just a tad? We are not even sure he should start in front of a true freshman but they are ready to draft him in the 6th huh?

          • Any recruits get drafted in first 6 rounds? If not that is a good thing right ?

            • I didn't see any.

              Yes, that's a VERY good thing.

              • Wonder how many intentional walks Gillaspie will get if Posey is batting next in the order (or visa versa). :D

                • None of the recruits drafted and that's good considering it's supposed to be a good class of recruits.

                    Who the hell cares what slot is? It's about getting talent into your organization and an 18 year old Latin talent at the level of Melville would cost easily $1.5. This is like having two first round picks for the Royals. All they have to do is spend the $. Go look and see what you get in the free agent market for $1.5 million. It isn't pretty.

                    Some would argue tha the Royals were able to draft the best high school bat and the best high school pitcher in the same draft.

                    I'm not a Royals fan, but if I were, I would be amped about the message they sent with this draft thus far.

                      I'd say the first 4 or 5 rounds are crucial tomorrow. If none go that early, it's an excellent indication that all wanted too much money to be drafted where their talent dictated.

                        Screw FSU's offense! We have a 6th round switch hitter coming off the bench as a pinch hitter. I bet no one else in the country can say that! 8)

                            I'm guessing a number of White Sox fans are not too happy. Everyone would understand a father taking his son (maybe even a little high), but when you take him this high compared to where he would have been available, it just looks bad.

                              I was actually hoping to see him back on the Shockers next year. I think another year of seasoning would of been good for him.

                              • Like in any business, it's all about the connections. There's nothing wrong with the nepotism displayed here. Besides, KWJ was going to leave WSU after this year anyway. He'll be 23 next year, which is a tad old, to begin your professional career in A ball, so I knew he'd jump and being drafted by the Chi Sox shouldn't suprise anyone.

                                Didn't Mike Piazza get drafted by Tommy Lasorda who was his godfather or something? Albeit it was in the last round and near the last pick. It happens, people get hooked up by being connected. Go KWJ! Get paid and get some hits this weekend.
