I'm not ready to count out Donnie Smith or Phillip Anderson if they can find some health this season. Sillman, Worrell and Scherer might have futures in the bullpen. Sure it wasn't a good draft, but every draft this decade up until then had been pretty bad, except possibly 2003 when we netted Barton, Ryan and Reyes. Now just think if Ian Kennedy, Brett Sinkbeil and Max Scherzer had signed back then... wow. Maybe if Lambert and Haberer move to the pen like Dove did they will look better.

I hope so... Hearne at Double-A is what I was hoping for. I've read his stuff is underwhelming but if his curve is showing up then that's certainly encouraging. Always rooting for Mike Ferris, he was my ill-advised breakout pick for last year. Did you mean Tyler Greene 6 and Juan Richardson 5? I hope so…
