Around SBN: A statistical basis for widespread HATE

3 players I want on Day 2

1. Brett Hunter -SP Pepperdine  rated by BA as 51st best prospect and was a guy who may have been pick #12 had he not hurt himself this year.

2. Harold Martinez -3rd baseman FL HS Another "potential" top pick coming into this year who has fallen off the map.

3. Kyle Long SP/1st baseman Virg HS Well the raiders didn't get Howie's boy whay not the A's. Again loaded w power potentail and has a cannon for an arm.

 

Let's open the checkbook go above slot $$$ and really make a statement. I know it won't happen as Lew won't upset his frat buddy by opposing his recommendations but one can dream and get some serious high upside guys on day 2 and really rebuild this system.

 

Thoughts of guys others like for day 2?

I like Hunter

Pepperdine has produced good pitching (Lowry/Haren), but what’s up with his injury?

I like your three guys

I also still want Isaac Galloway, but he will be a tough sign.

Texas Nabbed Martinez at Pick #573:

You know that they will throw all the money at him. Let’s HOPE that they don’t get Smoak AND Martinez out of this draft?!

Pride And Poise!!!

Does anyone have any comments or thoughts about Jordan Ellis?

He was drafted by the Phillies. His father is an Online friend of mine.
