• Amaury Marti Watch

    Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.

Daily Farm Report - 6/4/08

[UPDATE: Kevin Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus is reporting that Buster Posey is asking for $12M and, therefore, the Rays will be selecting Tim Beckham first overall.  KG thinks that the number is posturing on Posey's part and I happen to agree.  Frankly, I think the Rays should be taking either Beckham or Alvarez anyway.]

Joe chat

A few tidbits in Joe Strauss’s latest chat today.

Final Draft Rankings

After following this draft class very closely over the last year, here are my final top 30 rankings.

What are the odds?
