Some of us even don’t realize the importance of this information. What a pity.

Well that makes sense,..my apologies. I think you wrote something before that you obviously wrote on soxprospects and I thought the same thing….it didn’t dawn on me that it was the same person.

Well written? Maybe by the staff at SoxProspects.com. At least give credit if your gonna use their stuff…it is interesting to discuss and to get people who maybe don’t visit that site some knowledge of the draft, but…c’mon, throw them a link rather then regurgitate word for word,

Hey this article was very well written. I didn’t comment on it because I don’t have anything to add. This is your area, not mine.

Mike Rizzo, the assistant GM of the Nats and scouting extraordinaire, is the favorite to take over the reigns in Washington. Even if the incompetent Jim Bowden was still the GM, I don’t think even he could screw up the first pick being Strasburg.
A big difference between last year and this years draft is the security and more definite top picks. Last year, it was a spring full of debates whether Posey or Beckham or Alvarez would go first. This year, Strasburg is the definite number one. Outside of him, I guess it could really go either way. A lot of variables go into it, such as performance and injuries and signability. Green is a Boras client so I could potentially see him falling outside the top five with a less than stellar spring. Ackley is another Boras client and has the possibility of dropping out as well.
