RE: Weiters. 6'6" just seems a bit too big to me to stay behind the plate. But the boy can hit alright. RE: Brackman. I know all about him, but I'm not overly thrilling considering his limited track record (just 70 IP career at NC State). That said, I think there's a better chance the Yanks will draft Jesus Christ than have Brackman fall all the way to 30. RE: Doyle. Don't know too much about him, so I'll leave it at that. One guy I'm coming around on is Adam Poreda (sp?, and I'm not even sure it's Adam) of San Fran. That kid can deal. Where do you think he'll get drafted, Brian? Brian Matusz of San Diego is tearing it up right now, probably the best pitcher in the country, and he's only a sophomore. I need to get out and see him pitch one day... RE: Moskos. Really?

I really wouldn't waste a very high pick on him. I think he is about 5th-10th round material. Wieters is a top of the line player. That kid is a solid 6-6 and is just made to catch. He also throws 92 when he does pitch. One of the pitchers that you missed is Andrew Brackman of NC State. He is 6-10 and played hoops at NC State. He was throwing close to 100 this past summer in the Cape League before joining the USA National Team. Terry Doyle of BC is also a player to watch since he was named the Cape Cod League pitcher of the year this past summer. I saw Moskos last season and he has decent stuff.

I suppose he'll go before the Yanks pick in the first round, though. Re: couple of other kids to think about.

There’s an amount of institutional bias, but would I love to take Todd Frazier. I suppose he’ll go before the Yanks pick in the first round, though.
