June 7, 200422 yr I found this interesting, "Some people think we draft only college players using laptops," says A's GM Billy Beane. "We've taken high school players in the first round, like Eric Chavez, and there have been years (like 2002, in the case of Georgia high school outfielder Jeremy Hermedia) that there was a high school bat we would have selected if someone(the Marlins) hadn't banged him in front of us." Well Pete thinks its a college pitcher...Huston Street? or Zack Jackson out A&M, his teamate is already in Jupiter in Logan Kensing. "The Marlins have what is a very talented rotation of high school pitchers, each taken somewhere between the second overall pick to the 13th round; this year, they are looking to select a college pitcher with the 29th pick." :mischief2 Don't be Greed either "As long as there's college, that's fine. Matt Harrington didn't have a college alternative when he turned down $4 million, then $1 million, for the minimum wage at Best Buy." Ouch http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=1816317

June 7, 200422 yr you know what. i am going to say it. as 'good' as our system is or supposedly is....we havent actually produced an amazing number of MLB players. I think our system was just decimated by the amount of injuries, the Devil Rays expansion took a big chunk of it, and those trades last year.
