1994 BLB Amateur Draft

[Clay]

Hyundai is on the clock.

The Colonials use the pick from Carolina in the Rod Phillips deal to get the kid we think can be our Catcher of the future in Rice's Johnny Davis. Like a lot about this kid.

[Pat]

Bright was #1 on my board for the last few picks.

Bright was #1 on my board for the last few picks.

He'd been #1 on my board since you took DuFour. I really wanted to get back into the first round and pick him.

I wouldn't have been surprised had he been picked in the top 10-15 picks.

[Jimmy]

Hundai selects Victor Alvarez - C

Maine autoselected and took Hector Barrera - SS

[Dave]

New Orleans selects 18-year-old 3B Dave Farmer from Arab, Alabama.

Tough decision between a few players here. Our crack scouting staff thinks Farmer is one of several 6-rated contact bats in the draft, in addition to being an above average fielder and runner. We were also intrigued by his nearly complete lack of intangibles other than greed.

....I hate drafting high school kids.

He's been on our shortlist for a while now. He obviously has the potential. Its the drive that's worrisome about with this kid.

I agree on the HS thing.

[BradZ]

I can't believe Bright stayed on the board that long.

I kept saying that after every pick after the top 10.

[Jistic]

I almost took Bright at 16, but I had to go with best available.

[Jake]

I'm here guys. Doing a little talking before I move on the pick. Give me a few seconds.

[Pat]

Can someone post the last five and the next five? Phone doesn't load the utility.

Thanks LC.

Loved the Alvarez pick. Had him as the fourth best hitter overall.

I liked him as well.

[Jake]

Took a guy who will probably bust, SS Bobby Corral. He can play all four IF positions at a nice level, and my scout, while calling him an "average hitter who will hit .270", has him at 5-6-4-5-7 and OSA likes him as well at 5-7-5-6-7.

Passed on a couple guys I'm hoping will drop to 2.19, but that's probably just a pipe dream.

Typical Pilsner draft. It has sucked.
