Another Saturday night drinking with the scouts at the Barleymoe
Tonight Elijah Craig is joined by Jose Cuervo, George Dickell, and Jack Daniels
Elijah: Fella's tonight I want you to discuss the draft and pick one player from this draft who you think will be in the Hall of Fame.
George: Is that fair Elijah? As usual you are hanging us out to dry, while you offer no comments.
Elijah: I'm buying the drinks and paying for the uber, so I can do whatever I want.
Jose: It's not that difficult if you're cooperative George. Hawaii had 8 first round picks so they have to have had the best draft.
Jack: We probably have to do better than that Jose. Orlando Quinones and Gorkys Diaz were 5th round guys that are better than some third rounders and most fourth rounders.
Jose: The second round choice I liked the best was San Antonio picking Blake Taft.
George: Hartford did well. First two picks, both in the first round, were pitchers. One has great splits and the other is a control-velocity pitcher. In the second and third round they picked outfielders that also compliment each other. Once again one has great splits and the other is a contact-speed guy. A good team has to have variety.
Elijah: Okay fellas who are the Hall of Famers in this draft.
George: My pick would be Carlos Romero. He's the whole package at the plate. Ivan Gil has the highest career batting average in the history of the league at .330. My guess is that Romero will top .330 4 or 5 times in his career and has a chance at the league record.
Jose: Esteban Prieto, is my guess for makes the Hall of Fame. There aren't a lot of guys with his rage and glove with splits like he's got.
Jack: I'll take the power hitter Charles Banks. Voters lover the long ball.
George: Well all those guys will be better than Eugene Smith , the last guy in the draft.
Elijah: Thanks fellows good job. Soon very soon we get to discuss diamonds in the rough.
