CR, are you going to update it as the picks are made or is this going to be like a running list that is edited every once in awhile?

Draft day is here!!! Woohoo!!!

I can update the first post with the picks as they are made (though I might have to go a bit after the first round) but I'm ty pretsure there will be someone who will post the picks faster than me since my connection isn't the best.

I guess we can do a combination of both...list the picks at the top for those who are lazy, and post them further down and discuss them as we go along.

On the XM broadcast, they just said it was MLB.com radio so I'm assuming that the internet and xm feeds will be the same.

Mayo is absolutely confident that the Royals will take Hochevar with the #1 overall selection.

Is the blog a premium thing now too? I'm on BA's website but I don't see it.

Define irony:

Taking a Boras client as a signability pick.

There's a small link on the mid right hand side of the home page under "quick hits".

Well they gave the $4mil signing bonus that Hochevar wanted last year to Gordon, so if they feel comfortable giving out another $4mil bonus (assuming Hochevar's demands haven't changed much) I think he'll sign quickly.

Seome good nuggets coming out of BA's blog from Jim Callis.

States that # 2, #3, and #4 have all agreed in principal to pre-draft deals...Reynolds, Longoria and Lincoln respectively.

This is falling the Cubs' way so far. Maybe Rowell, Snider, Miller, Scherzer, and Lincecum will all still be there when the Cubs pick and then we can't screw it up! Wishful thinking, I know :(

With our luck we'll pick a stud like Drabek and he'll tear a rotator giving a high-five.

If the steroid rumors turn out to be true, I'd be much more worried with TJ than with his rotator cuff.

BeerHere · June 6, 2006

Show time in t-minus 2 minutes......it'll probably start a couple minutes later. I love this time of year.

Outshined_One · June 6, 2006

Sounds like Morrow to Seattle's all but official.

Or go into a roid rage and beat up Hendry.
