Someone said Bud Selig grimaced when the Yanks took Cole in round 1, and Gammons looked like he was gonna cry. Is this true? If so, hilarious!

From Olney:
• The Diamondbacks picked the son of colleague Mark Schlereth, and Daniel Schlereth might be in the big leagues by September. Heard this: If Schlereth had fallen a little in the draft, to the Yankees, they fully intended to him. As it turned out, the Yankees were pleasantly surprised to have an opportunity to land the pitcher they grabbed, Gerrit Cole.
Someone said Bud Selig grimaced when the Yanks took Cole in round 1, and Gammons looked like he was gonna cry. Is this true? If so, hilarious!I didn't notice that. Though someone said Gammons looked upset moments after Giambi hit the walkoff.

From Olney:
I'm so glad that we got Cole if that's the case. I HATE Mark Schlereth. That and the fact that I always prefer the high ceiling starter over the college reliever.
This is a potentially huge day for the franchise.

Riveraveblues.com:
Lane Meyer of NoMaas fame dug up some good info on 6th rounder Brett Marshall. Brett’s father Eddie said it’ll take around $1M to sign his son away from Rice, and to that I say: ................ the heck dad, pay your own mortgage! Seriously though, the Yanks wouldn’t have taken the kid this high if they didn’t have the intention of signing him.
I’m a pitching guy for whatever reason, I’ve always tended to gravitate towards the guys on the mound more than the guys in the box, especially high schoolers. That said, there’s some great pitching left available, led by Pepperdine RHP Brett Hunter, prep RHP’s Alex Meyer & Danny Webb, and prep LHP’s Nick Maronde & Brett Mooneyham. All five are signability guys at this point, and I want Maronde more than any of the other three. Taking him right out of the chute in the 7th round would already be a steal.
The best hitters left on the board are Pepperdine LF/DH Eric Thames, and prep 3B’s Zach Cox and Harold Martinez. Thames missed the end of the season with a quad injury, Cox is a signability guy at this point, and Martinez just had a terrible draft year. Any of the three is a coup regardless of where they are drafted at this point.
i'd love to nab one of maronde or mooneyham.

Kyle Long is so raw that I don't think there was any chance of him ever going in the first 5 rounds.

Maronde is going to take some serious cash to sign away from Florida at this point. If the Yanks take him to start the day, they'd better be ready to shell it out.
THEBOSS84
06-06-08, 10:12 AM
Hopefully Cash and Oppenheimer were working the phones with advisors all night last night, striking up pre-second day deals.
What the Yanks did last year with some of the pitchers was draft them, then let them pitch in a league from June through July or so before making a decision on whether or not to sign them.

Is St. Clair still out there? I wouldn't mind taking him and putting him into the pen. If he stays healthy, he'd definitely move quickly.

Greinke:
Greinke was impressive in the Shenandoah Valley League last summer and was named league MVP. He was bothered by shoulder tendinitis this spring, however, and has not pitched up to expectations. His fastball sits between 88-90 mph, and his slider and changeup have flashed as above-average pitches. Greinke is an athlete on the mound and is a two-way player for Auburn.

RHP Luke Greinke (Dr. Phillips HS, FL):
Zach Greinke’s younger brother has the pitching genes and looks very similar physically. He’s coming off minor shoulder surgery but threw in the mid-80’s with a sharp slider and very good pitchability.

I was hoping we would pick Mike McKenna.

No, Cole was picked up the Phillies in the 6th round yesterday. I'm anxious to see whether he will be back or not.
Jack Rye is a good pick. We've heckled him mercilessly here at UF since the '05 super regionals against FSU when he hit the RF wall TWICE in the same game (and I mean smack-boom hitting the wall), but he's very good offensively.
I wonder how Phelps did this year, he had a really good 2007 and had a low 90s fastball

Phelps:
Another player who couldn't match his gaudy sophomore numbers is rigthhander David Phelps, who last year joined Aaron Heilman as the only pitchers in Notre Dame history with triple-digit strikeouts and a sub-2.00 ERA. Phelps hasn't commanded his curveball and changeup as well in 2008, but he's still 6-foot-3 with a quick arm and a 90-93 mph fastball. Like White, Phelps will go somewhere in the first eight rounds. His brother Mike pitches in the Cubs system.
