I'm kinda more surprised that Motte or Perez did not get 'best fastball' than I am that Boggs got 'best pitching prospect'. Also, I believe next year could be breakout years for Boggs, Garcia and Mortensen. I look back at Wainwright's 2005 at Memphis and remember how unimpressive his numbers were. Sort of reminds me of Mortensen and Garcia this year. I think we've all underated Boggs. He may e the best of the three. And I hope someone in the organization can teach Motte a decent changeup. Wouldn't that be fun? Casey Hello Everyone!

IMO, Strasburg is the best pitcher to come out of college since Mark Prior. Prior was the #1 prospect in the 2001 draft and he fell to the Cubs at #2 because the Twins went with the cheaper, though also the hometown boy, Joe Mauer. So there is a chance he'll fall but probably not that far. Drafting Strasburg is like signing Jake Peavy to a very very cheap contract. You just don't pass on him. Money shouldn't be a worry. He'll get a major league deal and bonus that equal around 10 million, but it will be worth it. Swirls, its possible he’ll fall but its not likely he falls more than 1-2 spots.
