Its a long climb up. But its good to Roberto make a little contact. Hector is a Jaime Garcia wannabe. My posting name should have been RobertoRydeWagnerHectorXavier. Missed the boat.

Bighames and hernandez are two prime reasons why I think mo and luhnow had a GREAT 2009 draft.hill is another one to watch. I’m very excited about seeing these guys develop.

I would like to recommend a nickname if it comes to that over the next couple of years—Tyler “Big Games”

Bighames is 18 I think, he fell that far because everyone thought he was going to be tough to sign. He got 10th round money and college paid for in case he ever went. He’s 6’3 200 was a shortstop but is playing RF now be he can also play 3rd. Very Athletic, strong arm and off the chart bat speed in games and BP. Thats what the article says about him at least.

Glad to see De La Cruz having a good stretch with the bat. The league is a place to start and good to be successful no matter what the level.

Is Bighames a teenager as well?

De La Cruz has had a right start but hes 10 for his last 25, you also have to remember hes only 17 years old

Maybe Brighames is like Pujols. Later round steal. Pujols round 13–31 for Brighames, coincidence? We’ll find out. Also theres something on MLBTR that says Mo’s confident we’ll sign Shelby Miller.

Also isn’t De La Cruz supposed to have a lot of power? He hasn’t really shown much. 0Hr’s 3 doubles.

I don’t know where else to post this, but according to MLB Trade Rumors and Buster Olney:

“Many teams are believed to have struck deals with their top picks. So why haven’t we heard about them? Teams will announce over-slot deals at the last minute so it seems like they’re respecting the commissioner’s recommended bonuses.”

I’ve been wondering when we should start worrying about Shelby Miller. Maybe it’s already a done deal?

I know this is a real stretch but it seems like Tyler Bighames seems to have a Albert Pujols type body and skill set. There are 2 write ups on him, they say hes really strong with alot of bat speed.
