The Phillies are the only team I see the pads trading with. The Cubs and reds are way to far our of the NL central race and will start looking to next year, the rockies and Giants are in the NL west and I dont see them trying to make the padres better.

23.
Thanks a lot for the link TW

Not that I really know a whole lot about the prospects and all but out of all the stuff I’ve read so far I think this kid is who I am pulling for at 23. I would love for the team to go out and take a high risk/reward athleticism type of guy. His power sounds crazy but having having ability in the field and a strong arm wouldn’t hurt in Petco either.

I think a lot of Burgess. You don’t see many people compared to Sheffield in bat speed, but Burgess is supposed to be in that class.

The swings and misses might be worrying, or they might be a kid bored with his level of competition and just trying to see how far he can hit the next one. Tremendous power and has hit some of the top HS prospects.

I’d sure as heck rather take him at 23 than Simmons or any other Polished College Pitchability dude.

Hey Peter & TW or any of you other guys that seem to know a bunch about some of the draft prospects going into next week. Do any of you guys know anything about Michael Burgess? I read this… http://sportsillustrated.cnn.c.....index.html and thought he sounds interesting.

BA doesn’t seem to think a lot of him saying that he tends to swing and miss a lot but that was really it. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys!

Cool Hoffman article… http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/.....id=2889753

It’s pretty much the same article written about Trevor 100 times before but it’s always nice to see a Padre article on the front page of a big website!

6 … *THANKS* for the link, Didi …

HEY EVERYONE … PLEASE read the ‘Ode to Bo’ that’s in comment #6 … it’s a quick read … and it’s RIGHT ON!

I saw Bo play a game vs the A’s at the Oakland Colliseum that I’ll never forget … he did it all … hit a HR that was a mamoth blast … and played the awesome defense … the play I’ll never forget is that he threw out a runner at the plate, who started the play at 3B … really … I saw it … just pure fun!

Here we go, I found the box score … http://www.baseball-reference......8300.shtml … which has the play-by-play details … the runner was Terry Steinbach in bottom of 7th … and Bo HR’d in top of 8th … in a game in which he’d already done the walk+SB+score thing, plus thrown out a runner at 3B (trying to advance from 1st on a single) … plus made 4 other catches in LF …

Ya, Bo was STUD … Superman? Perhaps
