Around the horn is going to suck now without marrioti what happened to Mariotti? went to China for the Olympics

Hey, I don't care about the Angels. Remember all the talk about Detroit at the beginning of the season? They were practically given the WS before the season started. The Fish is the team everyone is afraid of. I have to worry about the Mutts tonight. I can't worry about Angels till the Final series of the season. Beinfest will lead us to the Promised land. :angel but unlike the Tigers, the Angels have great starting pitching (who would want to face Lackey-Saunders-Santana-Weaver-Garland is a helluva rotation) and a very very good bullpen (though you've got to admit, they could use an upgrade at closer)

the Petit for Julio trade. Not because Petit is great, but Lugo was just god awful for us.

The Rockies asking price is to high it might be better if we went after Damaso Marte or George Sherrill The Orioles have said that they will only trade Sherrill if they are blown away by an offer so he might be tougher to get than Fuentes.

Lowell's hidden ball trick was pretty good.

is reminding people why he's still in the majors. Ya'll should check him out

many think he'll go through the system quickly, I think it all depends on how good he actually is defensively.

let's remember, Skipworth was also named the Gatoraid Player of the Year so it's not like he's a scrub. Honestly, some of you are acting like we just reached for a player, he was considered a top 10 prospect, and some also say he's the best catcher. Posey's more developed defensively and is faster, otherwise Skipworth is better offensively

I got home too late to see the Marlins pick on ESPN2....what did the talking heads say about the Skipworth pick? at best you've got a very good catcher, at worst he's moved to either firstbase or a corner outfield, but either way they expect him to be a star.

Oh well, now who do we take?? Some catcher who will be ready in 20 years. Skipworth is supposedly the best prep catcher since Joe Mauer. What's wrong with that?

so we'll take either Skipworth or Crow. Maybe someone else

Knowing our owners "signability" comes 1st. :confused So forget Posey.....I will be shocked if they take him. but with a stadium being built, maybe they'll open the checkbook... but we don't have to worry about that do we?

they need a lot. Their farm system is pretty bare.

some experts on scout.com seem to think Matusz will be up rather quickly.

sounds like Matusz will be an Oriole. Bit of a pity, I wanted him. sounds like after that the Giants will take Smoak, and then we'll take Skipworth BUT we do have a lot of interest in a couple pitchers (and I don't think anybody expected Posey to last till 6 so he might be the pick)
