Bryce Harper, catcher and Scott Boras advisee

well they left the best and closest-to-majors 3B on the board

c'mon houston bring the lols

alright! redsox time, zack cox is still available, lets do this

oops guess not

I look fwd to seeing Harper in my early 50s

supposedly cox wants a fortune.. like pedro alvarez money.

6 mil, apparently.

wtf cant Selig pronounce Los Angeles properly

does he use the hard G???

ub I think my team just flushed this pick down the toilet.. dodgers rarely go over slot

i like how he says "Los Angeleez"

like when old people say "Worshington"

makes me smile.

lol was thinking along similar lines http://www.soulstrut.com/images/smileys/killin_it.gif

With their selection in the 28th round, the Texas Rangers select Tug Sabathia.

Oddibe Kendall

beckjason
Chris Mears just announced compensation pick for Red Sox. He shared saves lead on 2003 #tigers ... with 5. #mlbdraft

CITO CULVER!

and the J's take 4 pitchers for some reason.

this was a really pitching-heavy draft, you don't want to reach for a position player if they're not the best signable player available

ya - i knew that going into it. but at a certain point you're going to have to reach down for the sake of diversifying things, no?

i also think it might be an AA thing. one clear thing he's done since taking over is stockpile arms like mad.

i guess they're banking on lind / snider / hill / wallace being a good enough lineup core to carry a run-prevention team

was this live on MLB? I can't watch drafts.

Harper has "wanted to be a #1 pick since I was 7 years old." WTF

"... for the Washington Nationals."

"ya - i knew that going into it. but at a certain point you're going to have to reach down for the sake of diversifying things, no?"

Still twenty-four some-odd rounds to go though.

Supposedly a bunch of cubs fans went nuts last night and tore up their first round picks wikipedia page..

Nats take AJ Cole. Would be really nice if they decide to finally spend that money they had been promising their fans ever since they arrived in DC.

But no one gives a shit in the outside world about the Cubs, which is why there's no Joycean screencaps to go along with, amirite?

A Few Words About Civility At BCB

Alyellontoppscard_tiny by Al Yellon on Jun 7, 2010 7:33 PM PDT in Meta BCB Comment 0 comments

I was disgusted and appalled by the behavior of a few in the comments in the Draft Day thread after the Cubs made the unexpected pick of Hayden Simpson.

You can disagree with the pick; disagree with Tim Wilken’s reasons for picking him; argue about whether the Cubs are being cheap or not.

But when you giggle and guffaw like 12-year-olds over someone defacing Simpson’s Wikipedia page (which I assume has been fixed and I will not repost here), insulting him and his family, that’s where I draw the line.

Real human beings with real feelings are involved. As Josh77 said, families of Cubs minor leaguers, and I presume possible draft picks, read this site. I will not let readers of this site turn it into a festival of rudeness; my 14-year-old son has more maturity than some of you showed in that thread.

Some of you seem to have the attitude, “It’s only the internet, it doesn’t matter.” This place is a place where human beings communicate with each other. It does matter. I don’t ever want to see behavior like this on this site again.

I’m not opening comments on this post. I’d like all of you who participated to think about what you did, sleep on it, and then come back tomorrow ready to discuss things with civility and respect for others, whether they’re other BCB members or people you have never met who are now part of the Cubs family.

lol

poor kid. the knuckle draggers could fuck up the Cubs page?

yasmani grandal just smoked a 2 rbi double off of barret loux

The Detroit Tigers have drafted Pittsburgh native Patrick Leyland.

and out of 3 picks in the 2nd round - the J's take two more pitchers! lol. at least these guys are lefties this time.

Apparently the Dodgers are trying to draft the entire LSU baseball team

Never change, Scott Boras

Bryce Harper wrote on his Facebook page Friday that he's, "Probably going back to [the College of Southern Nevada] to win a National Championship!"

lol

what the hell is the "College of Southern Nevada"?

the junior college he played at this year

seriously - what a little shit! (if it's true)

This guy's going to be nonstop headline gold in the bigs.

No idea! I guess I should have added "if he doesn't get beaten to death in his sleep first."

lol what a dick
