Tony LaRussa is definitely drunk right now on the draft

The weird part was Texas intentionally walked Pedroia to face Papi for some strange reason. |

Cubs select 3rd baseman Kris Bryant, the next heir apparent to the "Disappointment at 3rd in Wrigleyville" crown.

Jays FINALLY draft a pitcher with a high upside in Phil Bickford. High 90's fastball, needs to develop a secondary pitch. No more drafting safe picks in the first round with multiple average pitches and 3-4th starter potential (Chad Jenkins, Deck McGuire).

Can't help but feel that if ESPN cared an iota about baseball, or if the draft was covered like it currently is even ten years ago, names like Matt Bush would be equal to JaMarcus Russell rather than just an obscure baseball reference.

But I do agree that ESPN does push baseball to the side a bit, and favors basketball and football. Especially football. They'll give the NFL more coverage than baseball and even basketball even when they (the NFL) is in its offseason. It's ridiculous. But yeah, the MLB doesn't help its case by holding its Draft during the season, and on the MLB Network. If they held it on ESPN it'd get more love from the channel, I think. |

Yankees grab 3B Eric Jagielo from Notre Dame as their first pick.
I like how Oppenheimer is thinking of the future but it's roughly 5 years too late. Gonna need to fill in a few spots here and there until some of these guys are ready. |

Turns out Indians Chris Perez ended up getting busted for pot possession by the Feds. He's claiming its only for medical/personal use while the police found about 2 jars worthy of the stuff in his house.

According to ESPN, pot/marijuana use falls under MLB's drug rehab program and not their discipline program.

Chien-Ming Wang opts out of his minor league deal with the Yankees and signed a major league deal with the Blue Jays. He'll be in their rotation next week.

Hanley is better than Hardy. They need pitching reinforcements and a 3 bagger more than anything else.

I imagine Hardy would play third or they'd move Hanley over there
also Hanley may be hurt again apparently |

I watched some of the O's game on MLB Network yesterday. The O's TV announcers are the only people who equal Dro's homerism. They spent like 2 innings talking about how great Ryan Flaherty and Chris Dickerson are.

Cubs got the better of the Travis Wood / Sean Marshall trade though.
Wonder if Josh Donaldson would have developed into this if he wasn't traded in the Harden deal. Wasn't even the main prospect dealt there. |

yah, was "keeping track" of the score via smartphoneingness whilst watching a DVD on my Sony Playstation 3 entertainment system and saw he'd homered again and said his name about 15 times in varying tones over the remainder of the film. Then considered buying a Yasiel Puig jersey. Then realized white clothing doesn't work on me

My favorite thing about Yasiel Puig is how excited Vin Scully gets when he does something good.
