« 10 hitters I like in the 2008 draft | Main | Thinking about the "golden sombrero" »
This is going to be short, because I'm tired and still have some work to finish up, but I'm not too jazzed about how the M's draft went down. Here is who they picked on the first day and who I would have preferred. This will be fun to look back upon in a few years...

Round 1 (20)
M's picked: Josh Fields - RP - Georgia
My choice: Reese Havens - SS - South Carolina (22-Mets)

Round 2 (66)
M's picked: Dennis Raben - OF - Miami
My choice: Tim Melville - SP - Holt HS (MO) (115 - Royals)

Round 3 (98)
M's picked: Aaron Pribanic - SP - Nebraska
My choice: Eric Thames - OF - Pepperdine (Not drafted on first day)

Round 4 (132)
M's picked: Steven Hensley - SP - Elon
My choice: Adrian Nieto - C - American Heritage HS (FL) (151 - Nationals)

Round 5 (162)
M's picked: Brett Lorin - RP - Long Beach St.
My choice: Chris Dominguez - 3B - Louisville (167 - Rockies)

Round 6 (192)
M's picked: Jarrett Burgess - OF - Florida Christian HS
My choice: Anthony Shawler - SP - Old Dominion (Not drafted on first day)

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. As you may have noticed, some of my favorite hitters are still up for grabs. I still want to do a list of my 10 favorite pitchers, but it won't go up Friday and probably won't go up this weekend — we'll see...
