I can think of one guy who might be able to sumo wrestle.

Maybe we can throw money at Al Jones instead of Wilson.

Astros continue their beyond fantastic draft by grabbing Luken Baker in the 37th round...I like him as a prospect more than I liked Kolek last year...

Fitz Stadler could be interesting if he'll sign. He is an ASU commit so it isn't likely.

From the looks of things on the surface, this draft, to this point, appears to be a "lets just save some money and blow it all Internationally" kinda draft to me.   Am I wrong?

Yes

Well I wanted to share with the board that my son Cody Mobley was selected in the 8th round by the Mariners and will sign a contract tonight.  Cody was a high school senior and had a full ride to the University of Evansville of the MVC here in southern Indiana. He is a Fastball/CB/SL pitcher and sat 90-91 and touching 94 this year. Curveball is his wipeout pitch and the slider has gotten better all year long. We signed for we'll above slot and he will have full tuition to any college he desires(minus Ivy League)after his playing days are over. We leave for Seattle on Sunday, physical on Monday and we will get to tour Safeco and there facility's on Monday. We are very excited and although I don't post much on this topic I have been a 20 + year guy on this board and the the previous boards that we have had prior to this. I wish the Cubs would have been interested but it didn't work out so I am a duel fan of my beloved Cubs and the Mariners moving forward. It has been a fantastic ride this year and I wanted to share that dreams do come true.

Fantastic, Chiman.  I hope that Cody has a Hall of Fame career.

Except, of course, when he faces the Cubs in the World Series.
