americanohno 12.06.12	I totally called the Josh Fields selection.
americanohno 12.06.12	here's the link to listen live: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=40172882&&content_id=25517943
americanohno 12.06.12	Nate Fryman is the Astros second selection. Never heard of him but he's a first baseman from the Padres AAA team.
bungy 12.06.12	You are literally the only Sputnik user who would get excited about the rule v draft. Never heard of Nate Fryman but I bet his wife wishes he could play in San Diego instead of Houston and I guess the Astros are relevant to me since they're moving to the AL West which is fine if they continue to finish 40 games out of first
americanohno 12.07.12	first of all, thank you bungy. second of all nate freiman* is a giant (6'8") jewish slugger who hit .298/.370/.502 with 23 hr and 31 2b last year at AA San Antonio. so the man can fucking rake. Hopefully he'll be able to stick as the Astros power bat off the bench/back up 1b and dh, but i doubt it. the astros suck but even they can't afford the roster spot to hide a first basemen that ain't ready for major league pitching. still he's worth a flyer. And man just wait till John Singleton, Carlos Correa, and Rio Ruiz form a Voltron like being of baseball destruction and might then you'll rue the day the Astros were forced into the AL West. until then enjoy the easy wins. *man i was so hoping his name was actually spelled "fryman".
Satellite 12.07.12	http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2012/12/detroit_tigers_acquire_second.htmlhttp://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2012/12/detroit_tigers_acquire_second.html holy fuck dude fuck torrii hunter this makes the tigers the 2013 favorites now we have to wait another year for the next rule 5 draft :/
Satellite 12.07.12	is nate fryman the son of travis? edit: no. edit2: "nate freiman*" oh.
peaks40 12.07.12	yeah i love baseball but this is too far... lol, stros are gonna suck for awhile
peaks40 12.07.12	i focus on the major league players, prospects fade away most of the time. Then you get that rare kevin youkilis
Satellite 12.07.12	one of the dodgers' a-ball affiliates (great lakes loons) plays in my hometown (in a fucking spectacular stadium). saw clayton kershaw pitch regularly in their inaugural season/his first as a pro. carlos santana and dee gordon played here, too.
peaks40 12.07.12	that's cool, like i said you catch one guy all the time, my friend was doing an internship in Rochester, NY and he saw bryce harper play
Satellite 12.07.12	that's awesome. yeah, kershaw looked mlb-ready even then. i felt sorry for everyone he faced, because they were just over-matched. i guess that's still pretty close to being the case.
peaks40 12.07.12	looked the same way with harper
BloodandRainbows 12.07.12	Red Sox can draft whomever they damn well please and they still aren't going to have a starting staff good enough to catch the rest of the division. Oh, and I think somebody meant to offer Victorino $13m over three years, not $13m each year.
theacademy 12.07.12	lol the guy the mets got is named like lobsterstein or something
peaks40 12.07.12	Always had a soft spot for the sox, even the city of Boston, My uncles love them
Satellite 12.07.12	i really hope the tigers trade for justin upton, as some suggest they might. dude's stock is as low as it's going to get and the tigers have no room for their top prospect castellanos with cabrera at third anyway. jackson cf hunter rf cabrera 3b fielder 1b martinez dh upton lf peralta ss avila c infante 2b drools
peaks40 12.07.12	satelitte since the expos left my town the tigers have been my ball club, also soft spot for Detroit.
Satellite 12.07.12	the tigers are one of the main reasons i plan on coming back to michigan next summer
peaks40 12.07.12	lol, I hate the fact they haven't won a championship and their owner mike illitch cares so much about his club it pisses me off, plus im a huge red wings fan and he owns them too
bungy 12.07.12	The name lobsterstein being real just changed my life
americanohno 12.07.12	I can't wait till Joey Pankake, shortstop for the SC Gamecocks, gets drafted. That's gonna be an all-time great baseball name. Also the Brewers drafted a guy last year named Damien Magnifico, which would be a pretty great name for a crafty lefty or a magician. seems like they weren't able to sign him so he'll be pitching for OU.
