    I wonder how your team will hang in without Buster. That division is terrible. I can't believe how bad the Rox are. I'll prob be seeing some of them as we're heading out there on Wednesday for a week.

    Serious question: did anybody in SF ever think that was going to be a good contract?

    Amazing what they managed to accomplish with that burden on their hands.

    it was a panic move. "do something, do something!" I didn't like it from day one. two years, maybe. seven, no fucking way. but, as I always say, it's not MY money.

    yes, our thread is dead. me and an occasional appearance from smilie man.

    Yep. Hopefully he can find some consistency and start pitching like this more often.

    Phils on the clock with their first pick shortly

    Phils take OF Larry Greene. Georgia prep kid. A power hitting OF.

    Kevin Goldstein: 39. Phillies first pick of the draft: Larry Greene, OF, Berrien County HS (GA). Tremendous power, scouts wonder if he has another tool to talk about.

    Hahahaha, this made me laugh

    keithlaw: Phillies take the guy compared (rightly or wrongly) to Ryan Howard. Of course. Because the old one is a free ag... wait, nevermind.

    Boston took Jackie Bradley Jr with pick right after the phils selection. That's who I was hoping they'd take. Oh well.



    What do you think of the Larry Greene pick for the Phillies?

    Monday June 6, 2011 10:29
    10:30 Kevin Goldstein: Personally, I don't like him that high. If he doesn't hit, he offers nothing else.

    Baseball AMerica's write up. Russell Branyan comp...yikes

    Larry Greene, of
    Berrien County HS, Nashville

    Greene isn't quite one-dimensional, but it's close. He's a physical beast at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, and one evaluator compared his power to that of Russell Branyan, another south Georgia lefthanded hitter. Green was dominating and putting on huge power displays against modest pitching, pushing himself into first-round consideration. However, scouts who saw him last summer recall he struggled mightily with velocity at the East Coast Pro Showcase. Greene is somewhat stiff but is an average runner, which should give him a chance to play left field, but some scouts think he'll wind up as more of a first base/DH type. Greene's value is mostly in his bat and well above-average raw power. He's likely to put on a display in individual workouts for teams prior to the draft.
