The Future

I would think because of all the college guys they took last year and with the new third SS/rookie league team they will go with a lot of upside HS kids that will either bust or really come through.

If you look at the last two years it is interesting.

2005
College High School
Greene Rasmus
McCormick Herron
Webber Wilson
Boggs Jones
Stavinoha Anderson
Daniels Pujols
Maiques

2006
College High school
Ottavino Garceau
Perez North
Furnish Mitchell
Jay Edwards
Hamilton Pham
Daley
Degerman
Robinson
Norrick
Gorsett
Craig
Buckman

I don't know you all can certainly add your thoughts. I thought they did a nice job last year of really getting some guys who could move through the system quickly and help the team sooner rather than later. In 05 they scored huge with Rasmus and Anderson, not so much thus far with Herron and Wilson. Greene and McCormick have been disappointing. McCormick more due to injuries and Greene because he can't get his K rate down.

Hurley, Hughes and Gonzalez were all guys I would have much preferred as well. Then again, cardfaninfla knows of someone else I really wanted from the HS ranks.
