2007 MLB Draft

[cshs81]

Maybe some of the older Reds scouts were reminded of another Seton Hall grad who the Reds took as a #1 pick. Does anyone remember how great of a career Pat Pacillo had? :scared:

 

Do you think they were confused that this kid was a high schooler?

You've lost me. :confused:

Joking that one went to a High school named Seton Hall while the other went to the college.

Oh, I didn't realize that the pitcher that was drafted today was from High school. I naturally assumed that it was the college. How about a bit of triva here. Can someone name another Big East pitcher that the Reds took as a #1 draft pick, that didn't pan out so well. I'll even give you the school. St. Johns.

Felipe Lopez?

 

Give me a decade.

[LRCW]

Felipe Lopez?

 

Give me a decade.

 

 

You know the Reds didn't draft Lopez. 90's.

[LRCW]

You know the Reds didn't draft Lopez. 90's.

 

 

By the way, I just now got the Felipe Lopez reference.

[STRIKE3]

Reds drafted 3-SS's and 3-Pitchers. I've always believed, a team must be strong up the middle (C,SS,2B,CF) and they got off, to a solid start.

 

Today will be interesting, to see if any stockpiling of positions happens, which may work out for a trade/package deal. I'm guessing, 5-6 more pitchers will be considered and drafted, by the organization today.

Here's another little clue for you cshs81. Out of the top 9 picks that year, 4 of them have been with the Reds at one time in their career.

I knew most would not catch it. Nice job.

I racked my brain and knew deep in a crevice there was something I knew about SJU and a pitcher. However, I couldnt find it and had to look it up.

 

I'll let K3 take a stab at it.

 

Not exactly a strong return on Big East pitchers drafted by the Redlegs.

What exactly, am I taking a stab at....?

[cshs81]

A #1 draft pick by the Reds from St John's who didn't fare well.

Would that have been Mike Hampton or CJ Nitkowski....I believe both, played for them at one time.

Hampton was a Red draftee? Or are you saying he was a Johnny?

 

Correct on CJ.
