Also, this is directed to everyone, all these high upside signability injury guys are all going to be taken by the fuckin red sox who pick before us. Scheppers will probably fall into around round 5.

Volquez was considered a bust in Texas, but still a power arm, and was traded for a bat that just had a re-birth to being a prospect. So even a bust power arm had value to be traded for a promising ML ready bat. Well actually the Volquez example was much better than my Garza example.

I am not even trying to be a smart ass, I am trying to seriously learn. I think that based on the Swisher trade and the Nady/Marte deal, they can stand to collect 5 impact arms, 4 impact arms, or 5 impact bats, if that makes sense. In other words, I do not feel there should be restrictions other then best available. Well why wouldn’t you take 4 impact arms and 1 impact bat?

One of the 2 could likely be there at 29. Though i hate the idea of drafting another righty SP b/c this org badly needs hitting (ahem SS, ahem CF), i'd only grimace at the selection of one of those guys instead of flat out laughing.
