dodgers, don't you touch Stetson Allie!!!!
getting close again
Hey Rev...Hart said he had a good body...

must be good

Doyers will snag O'Connor or Wilson prolly
Two picks coming up. Love it!
I want the Angels to grab O'Conner and Allie

Wilson and Castellanos are my plan B.

I'd love back to back prep pitchers here

Allie and Jenkins…..open up that wallet Artie

O'Connor would be great too
Those two LAA's make me think 4 Aces
I just want no crazy surprises

Don’t pull a Cubs

Dodgers and Vettleson supposedly
Who will it be?

Castellanos
Allie
O’Conner
Cole
Jenkins
Tago
Wojciechowski
Bedrosian
Ranaudo
Wilson
Sanchez
Brentz
Eibner

Seriously, any 2 and i'm jumping with delight!
C'mon Doyers screw this up
Pass on Ranaudo, Wilson and Brentz and possibly Castellano
Brentz seems really solid
Dodgers take Zach Lee at #28
LAD picks Zach Lee

Angels on the clock again

Zach Lee gone, it's our turn!
wow....good freaking luck signing Lee

LSU on a QB scholarship

It's go time Angels!!! It's go time!
I bet they completely surprise us.
Yes!

Come on Angels!!

Let's do this!
Let's kill this...
No Chance Dodgers can sign this guy
Playing next year's odds.
Here we go!
Wow

Big, big, move from the Dodgers

Say it with me... Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski...

If he doesn’t work out with the Angels, we could just trade him across the street to the Ducks!

Stetson Allie pl0x

kthnxbai

Bryce Brentz, plz?
pass....let's not get an unathletic metal bat hitter
look at his stats

dude OPS’d 1.471 last year. i doubt that’s completely a product of aluminium.

Come on Stetson!
WE got great options Angels!!!
More people at that High school Game

Than there will be in Oakland tonight for our game

What the hell is Reynolds doing trying to scout the kid as a QB
he secretly works in the NFL
GO BIG HALOS!
Stetson please!!! Come on HALOS!!!
if we pick him

it will probably be with the 30th pick

We're smart like that.
Dohhgers just screwed themselves
Angels will

Even out the “pitchers vs. Position player” count

got a twofer in one pick

and now they have a twofer!

Gammons

disgusted with Frank McCourt

Loved the McCourt jab myself
the most interesting moment of the broadcast

so far…

Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski, Wojciechowski...
Halgren is former scout for Hart from Ranger Days
Dodgers just take Lee to get the protected pick next year me thinks....
I want to watch our pick

On full screen. Plz?

Please Angels don't let me down again.
Ryne Stanek just to depress Halowood further

kidding

anxiety kickin' in
1:00 left...
Angels drafted Bck O'Neill?

Tribute is great, but a hell of a waste of a top pick…

Selig walking up...
For John Lacket, the Angels select...

Cam Bedrosian

Revenge for Benedict

CAM BEDROSIAN

Bedrosian

Nice….I like it

DAMN'T NOT AGAIN
There's still time for you mancrush Allie

Bedrosian looks good and has a lot of advanced stuff already

Yeah, but that means no o'conner or wilson.
Wilson will cost a ton of money and has pitch recognition problems

i’ll pass

O’Connor could fall into the supp. round as well

Supp picks, don't worry, plenty more time!
Great makeup. I like it.
Angels take Cam Bedrosian at #29
CAM BEDROSIAN
Cam Bedrosian?

who dat?!

Dad was a solid big leaguer

come on now

good for dad

we didn’t draft him.

however, Cam’s stuff looks pretty good.

Settle down

He is a solid RHP that did the showcase tour played in the Aflac Game not a “whos that”

i am settled

i just dont buy into the bloodline thing.

Point with the dad comment

Son of a guy that was a very good player and that does help when you deal with draft choices. They get what it takes and have good makeup

ANGELS SELECT CAM BEDROSIAN

Angels on the clock AGAIN

Not a bad pick there

Solid stuff !!!

Cam Bedrosian

Okay, I can live with that

Bedrosian

we must like that sweet tea down in georgia!

Nice, i'll take it!
really picking interesting names
Now we just need a Stetson!
Uh Oh

Hart doesn’t like his body

Seriously, how much time did our scouts spend in Georgia?
They spend time in all places and Georgia is full of talented players year in and year out
Just Kotchman probably... :)
Lotta Life in that arm

good point!

Do we have

To take 5 minutes?

yeah but Arte gets a cut of the commercial

revenue for this break!!!!

looks like Waly's already got the pick.
Apparently Stetson has really high bonus demands
then it may be him

and they demoted him one number int he draft to get all the more discount

must be a Boras client
Stetson!

Stetson!

Stetson!

Stetson!

Another short righty

With Chatwood going strong, you gotta love the Halos going back to this particular well.

yeah...i like how they are size obsessed like some teams
Stetson or Wilson please!!!
Bedrosian sounds like he has a closer-type makeup
woohoo Rangers losing 4-0
O'Connor i'm hearing!
More Georgia!
F BOMB
Put down the gun and the scotch Halowood
And now the Angels take Chevy Clarke at #30
Angels select Chevy Clark

Rays on the board again

Told ya they'd surprise us.
Chevy Clarke? Really?

Who the heck?

We like them Georgia boys
What in the hell
Nope Chevy Clarke

Another nice pick OF baby

ugh

well.. um.. hmm

Another Georgia guy
mmm Peaches...........

Chevy Clarke linky

Thanks Senor

(Btw, liked your comments on the Lakers blog)

Sheeit. You the motha funkin' man, Raaddad.

some of those kids were ready to blame everyone—except the Lakers—for that loss.

I saw Desecrator and SCTrojan too

I was gonna grab yur back, but I was too burned out, bummed out, and well..you know…

understandable, but I doubt Boston will continue to drop 3’s like that. It’s the only way they will win the series because the Lakers bigs dominate in the paint, which is key. Can’t wait till tomorrow.

I think we'll see the REAL Lakers again tomorrow
Ugh.

Go over to SS&R to have this convo. I’m trying to enjoy baseball season..

somebody was too small to play basketball ;)

No, just a Suns fan.

But I suck at basketball too..

I can dig it, the suns are a tremendous team.

Glad to not be the only one!
Chevy looks like he'd be at home in Oakland.
Interesting comment
Gammons is about to die
seriously

i thought he was dying

Boring
Actually, opposite of boring.

Lot of surprises.

I was hoping they would break the bank

with high upside pitching in the 1st

Pleasing

I want Tago for supplemental

Speedy guy with decent pop

Could be a gold glove CF

Pretty typical Halo pick, but I like it

Yup

Could also develop pop, potential 5 tooler… nice, nice, nice

Outstanding speed
Clarke, Trout, Grichuk...

Your Angels Outfield 2012/2013

no Bourjos?

he’s going to be traded for D. Lee :p

Back-up plan for Peter Gorgeous in center
I like Chevy Clark....

I don’t see Stetson staying on the board.

Maybe if the signing issues are this bad who knows.

Where is he committed too?

Remember though

The Angels have 2 more pics in the next 10 selections

Bingo

I’m hoping for at least another prep pitcher

Well, we pick again in 7 spots

Let’s see who falls.

Lets get Torii to start mentoring this guy like stat...........

heard that he has some discipline issues………….Hunter could take care of that!

racist
so?
you were supposed to call me an imposter
musta missed that memo.

:)

than what's after "imposter"

9?

Son,

I am disappoint :[

Don't worry, be happy!

These are actually good picks. And 2 more left!

Clarke

beast of an arm

will Stetson fall to 37?

i hope

Denard Span and Jimmy Rollin's Comps for Clarke...i can live with that
Rays take Justin O'Connor at #31
There goes O'Connor
Rays are killing it. Again.

Their drafting team rocks

They know how to run a baseball team
I'm so glad they're not in the West

They have to draft well as they bump up against the Yanks and Sox

Yeah

They are amazing and have the green light to spend tons of money in the draft

great

keep putting the pressure on the Skanks and Sux

Absolutely

I want the Rays to draft well!

and Toronto as well
well its not like they're spending it on FA.
looks like a good draft for the Rays so far
Damn...i love the Rays draft

Sale and O’Connor

We SHOULD have picked this kid O'Conner
At least the supplement only has 1 minute between rounds so 33-40 should go fast
yep 8 minutes
Yeah i like that. Does Big ol' Bud do the announcements still??
I think so
So, like 25 minutes.
nevermind, no Selig!!!!
Allie has the best upside of any pitcher left, so I'm guessing the word may be out that he's going to UNC.
Ya that may be it, considering how long he's stayed on the board
A.J. Cole is still on the board as is Jenkins

Could see both of those guys in the supp round as well as Peter Tago and Aaron Sanchez

Any of those would be sweet
If jenkins were there that would be money and then etiher tago or Sanchez as guys who will sign
You're getting my hopes up

I really want Tago. Jenkins I like, also Eibner.

OT: my Dennis Hoper tribute

is in THIS NEW ISSUE of my magazine.

Dude, I can't believe how 1978 your font is

“Passages,” was that the name of the book?

very cool

looking forward to reading it
Big Hopper fan

i give the designer free reign
I really like the way it looks on the page
Nice piece

Lots of smart people have no idea how central he was to West Coast Art. Also, it’s very fun to read about the Hopper-Rev standoff.

For what it's worth ESPN has Bedrosian as their #34 best prsopect and Clarke as #45 prospect
What about cowart?
didnt see this
Cowart was at 14
Baseball America

had him at 12th

Awesome as a pitcher or hitter? or just overall playeR?
overall
So top-10 in our orginization i'd assume?
Close

He might sneak in, but he’s a high school kid, so still a lot of projection. I think it will depend on whether he ends up on the mound or at 3B.

probably

somewhere around 7th

Depends how some of our young arms finish the season
Cowart was at number 14

Law really liked him

Baseball America had

Bedrosian at 56

and

Clarke at 97

Yankees take Cito Culver at #32
Who the F did the Yanks just draft?
some Schmuck
Cito?!? Chito?!? who knows who cares just another Skank
Ha!

Did you hear that guy laugh. Who the hell Yanks?!

Why aren't Callis and Mayo doing the broadcast?
YAY! BUD'S GONE!!!!!!
Total shocker this one. A Cubs like pick again!
Wojciechowski! Wojciechowski!
Is he the guy who did the flip over the catcher at home plate?
He's the guy with the really long russian sounding name!
Much more Polish than Russian no?
Probably

I’m horrible with nationalities. Probably because I’m like six or seven of them myself and my last name is “Carr”!

Pitcher out of the Citadel

with 2 plus pitches

No, he retired

and walked off into the sunset after that play

nightmare name for pa announcers
And team seamstresses
Is this the gene wojiechowskis son??
Barney Miller's son
Woo

Representatives up

1:00 time limit :)
Why couldn't the 1st rd be like that?

Selig needs time to practice his standup huh

Lets go, Supplemental
Poor Bagwell
At least he didn't need to say Wojciechowski!
Houston Astros take Mike Kvasnicka
Hey it's another Rob Quinlan
Bagwell??? Shoulda named him Speaknotwell???

   Boosh

Boom. Headshot.
My favorite way to finish the draft

Jenkins at #37 and Tago at #40

We could still get Allie
Do we want Allie?

Plenty passing on him.

Damn sanchez is gone
Jays take Aaron Sanchez at #34
Booo, Sanchez just went

Damn.

lol Bartow.......instead of Barstow.
Fun Fact: First THREE Angel picks all hail from Georgia!

Quick, what other angels are from Georgia??

Sanchez is gone
Hey that guy's from Barstow!

poor kid…

i dated a girl from Barstow who wanted to be president...

she now teaches gymnastics in Ohio.

yeah, that sounds about right.
Alomar

If you had to guess whether those rumors are true…

John Hart probably knows...
because HEY

he’s got a good body

he's a full tool package
There's one CA kid gone
I hope to god Wally can speak well

Bagwell and Alomar butchered it

Braves take Matthew Lipka at #35
Isn't he supposed to start the clock?
The draft is now broken!
oh noes! he broke teh draftz!!1!
I think this means we can draft Harper
well now boston has all the time in the world I guess
Geeze can anoybody speak english lol
Wojciechowski!
watch Boston take

Stetson

ok Stetson

NOW PLEASE

Big fly for Bobby

I don’t care what thread this is!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRS
Here comes Allie!
Red Sox take Bryce Brentz at #36
Why do we follow Boston twice?

Eww

crap!

they got Brentz

Red Sux can't even send a former player to represent them

what loosers

We have to take Stetson right?!?!
Might cost too much
YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damnit

Good pick by the Red Sox. Come on Angels, delight me!
Let's see what happens

Cmon Jenkins or Allie…

1986, feels like yesterday Wally!
those were the days when the roid flowed freely...

and stirrups were in full-effect.

Abreu HR...

2-0 HALOS…

.......who is that?
a girl WTF
he has 2 girl names Taylor Lindsey
Gotta lose the bleach.
Angels take Taylor Lindsey at #37
I love being the insider on Taylor here!

Im the only possible person whos actually played against him in High School and Club.. Same with Bryce way back, teams would pay him to play for them in a tournament.

And then Joyner tells Canseco to go F himself...

 after announcing the draft pick

No chance to Lindsey
left handed hitting shortstop?

interesting

never heard of him

but kid looks solid. nice body. :P

Being a SS is good though
Guy looks a bit like young Erstad
Uhm.... I thought were were going to take a bit more pitching than this.....
Jays take Noah Syndergaard at #38
Tago is probably going next

Would love to see Jenkins though

like any of the Angels picks have gone as predicted.

I think Tago is the logical pick too but we’ll see

Supposed to have a ASU commitment though he hit well in the spring
What happened to drafting HS pitchers?
Where is my Wojciechowski!
Stetson to the Sux or Renuado?
Come on Pitcher! We need one!
Taylor Lindsey

Scouting Video

Actually play aganist him a couple times, wonder if he will be at the next game we play against them.

I play for the La Dodgers Scout Team here in AZ, and hes on the Angel Scout team.. Pretty solid infielder but he i did strike him out but hey give me some credit here! :)

There went Renaudo
Red Sox take Anthony Ranaudo at #39
damn the Sux had a pretty good draft too
They always do
Allie or Jenkins Here Please!
Big supplemental picks for the Red Sox
Ranaudo is 6'7" 230 Lbs..

  he’s a beast

Good pick

for the supp. rd

can we please

take Allie now

There has to be something about Allie for no one to have taken him yet
ESPN has Lindsey potentially trying to play Catcher
Halowood is crying somewhere
And now the Angels take Ryan Bolden at #30
Wow another OF..................
That's a night, folks.
Great athleticism.
I officially hate this draft

Clearly we are drafting for need

Do any of you actually know anything about these guys??

Just curious.

Plus-Plus Speed with some power if/when he fills out

Very raw at the plate but could be a big stolen base guy and good defender in the OF

Bolden looks like he has the chance

to be a Jason Heyward type player.

Not really

Not even close to the power though the hit tool could be there….fringe average arm so he’ll have to be in Left or CF

power develops as the body does

you can only project that so much until it actually happens. otherwise, Pujols wouldn’t have gone in the 13th round.

Some backhanded complements to the Angels.
Gammons said Bourjos will be up on the team in a few weeks...

  hmm

Gammons is wrong
Yeah I dunno what he meant by that comment
i think we are trading Hunter

no bullshit? Me like.

Gammons is old and incorrect....
I'm not disappointed, I wished we would have picked another SP though
Jays took Asher Wojciechowski
haha.............

Poor Roberto!

Butchered it
the Jays

should have picked someone who can speak to announce their picks

Granted I didn't do as much draft prep as normal

but aren’t a lot of the Angels Top 5 picks considerable overdrafts in the experts opinions? Or am I off base?

Cowart and Bedrosian No; Clarke Maybe; The other 2 yes....they were more 2nd/3rd round guys
and also when I hear the phrase

the Angels plan on taking tools guys and turning them into baseball players I cringe. Who have the Angels done this with in the past?

So many players were fluid from 20 to 60 so the experts say
Well i suppose it shouldn't have been too unexpected

After expecting to spend so much money on Cowart, figures the team would go decently cheap with these picks. What a shame too. The team could have really inject a huge amount of RHP pitching talent into the system

it looks like we got some serious athletes

it may not be exactly what we expected, but we’ve got some good looking players.

plus, there’s still a TON of “first-round talent” to be had tomorrow…

Perhaps

Though we do still have 3 picks for the 2nd and 3rd rounds so we’ll have to see

Agree

As long as we can pick up some arms, i’ll be happy

Rays take Drew Vettleson at #42
Eff the Rays

God they got such a beastly draft….by far my favorite

The Sux are a close second
Mariners take Taijuan Walker at #43
Tigers take Nick Castellanos at #44
It was etiher him or Allie

Got to give props to the Tigers that they are never afraid to sign overslot guys who fall

hopefully

Allie falls to our 2nd round pick

LOL

At this point he's probably going to end up at NC unless the Yanks decide they just want to throw their weight around
Rangers take Luke Jackson at #45
nice pick considering people were saying they might take Jackson in the first
Interesting that even though everyone talked about the Halo's taking prep pitching one could argue we took only 1 out 5
What the hell are we going to do with so many OF'ers?
Attrition and we haven't be overly successful in a while graduating OF's to the bigs
yea toolsy OF very high attrition rates

Angels have selected some toolsy OF who have shown they can’t hit a lick.

prepare for the future

trade ’em. teach ’em different positions.

take your pick.

have them stay in the minors for way way way too long

so that Robb Quinlan can play when they do come up…

oh wait nvm…..

Cardinals take Seth Blair at #46
Its massively interesting that we took all high schoolers, lots of projection and potential!

Do they finish the draft today?

nope

2-25 8th
26-50 9th

Nope, just 1st and supplemental today
Up to pick 50

Then all the other rounds tomorrow and the next day

two more days of the draft
Rockies take Peter Tago at #47
Crap.....

The rockies do tend to scout SoCal very well

You have love the music they play on the MLB scouting report for Bolden

But damn that boy can fly down the line

Detroit

drafted a voodoo look-alike

Tigers take Chance Ruffin at #48
All I can say about this draft is I hope the Angels GA head scout

knows wth he’s talking about.

Rangers take Mike Olt at #49
Another interesting thing is that they haven't taken a CA or FL guy which is normally their hot spots
Very weird draft, but i'm looking forward to seeing these kids develop
Cardinals take Tyrell Jenkins at #50
Guys that got left out

Eibner

Cabrera

Allie

Wilson

Solis

Cole

Still some nice players for tomorrow
Also

Griffin Murphy LHP (HS)

Reggie Golden?

Brandon Workman

Rob Rasmussen, josh spence but better
