I can't believe the guy was throwing it around like that. If that were me, I would have said to hell with the video break and put that puppy in some sort of protection.
Lindsey might have the least tools of the bunch but I think he has the best chance of the 3 of at least being a solid MLBer. If Chevy and/or Bolden make it to the bigs, it will be a long while. Reminds me of 2003 when the Angels took Wood in the 1st rd and S-Rod in the 3rd. Wood always had...
Some Angels' prospects faring well thus far tonight...

Not a huge fan of the ITG product but I had my Groupon eBay gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. wound up paying about $12 dlvd for this...
I actually like the look of this card, plus the glasses on his bill help hide the lack of licensing.
Last year's draft was an absolute debacle. Cowart was the only one who wasn't a stretch at #18. I like what Cowart, Lindsey and Tillman bring to the table but the jury is still out with our other high picks.
I think Lucho has a shot of becoming a solid big leaguer. I could see him being a .270 20 100 type bat with decent plate discipline and plenty of doubles. If he hadn't of missed 2009 with the labrum issue...he may be knocking on the big league door.

Kazmir is done. He tops out at 89-90 mph with zero command. In order to be a situational lefty out of the pen, you need to throw strikes which aside from the drop in velocity, is his biggest problem. One interesting stat which was pointed out a few starts back in AAA was that through his first...
Honestly, if the seller would come down to a $100 or so...I would have no problem with getting rid of the original auto and getting it signed IP for the PC. However, there are plenty of shady people on the net who would do so and try to pass it off as original.
The seller claims it came out of the pack like this, looks to me as if it was left in a dealer's showcase a bit too long.
