Re: 2009 MLB Draft Signee Thread
so who didn't get signed, the big names.

Re: 2009 MLB Draft Signee Thread
So what position will Ackley play? I've heard center but we already have Gutierrez and Saunders. Could he move to second and have Lopez move to first and have Carp DH.

No, if you call somebody up, they must go on your 40 man roster, but you can only call up 8 additional players, you're not forced to carry 40 with you.

Tampa Bay's first round pick, Levon Washington, did not sign. And apparently he doesn't even qualify for college at Florida. Probably gonna go the JC route.

Yea, he has until next year's draft to sign because he played in independent ball. Same way with 1st round supplemental pick, Tanner Scheppers, who was drafted by the Rangers.

I think they really should move him to 2B. The OF is just way to crowded for the next 4 years (minimum) and there's already lots of depth there. His bat doesn't profile to well in the corners and Gutierrez is just to valuable in CF. His arm isn't that great, but he's athletic and I think he would fit perfectly at 2B.
-
Re: 2009 MLB Draft Signee Thread
If Ackley can play adequate 2B, than I agree that's where they should put him.
Gutierrez is just way too good defensively to move him from CF as long as he's Adam Everett at the plate.

Metsguy meant the Mets pick Stephen Matz, not Tyler Matzek.
-
Re: 2009 MLB Draft Signee Thread
LOL @ everyone who thought it was Matzek :p Can't blame MG for that one.
Also, check out this quote I got in an e-mail from the Mariners about Ackley
Quote:
"There are those people that when you meet them, you know. They look you in the eye and give off a presence. Derek Jeter always had it. Joe Mauer. Grady Sizemore. Torii Hunter. Derrek Lee. David Wright. Chase Utley. Ryan Zimmerman. Darin Erstad. And now Dustin Ackley."
- Peter Gammons, ESPN Hall of Fame reporter
DARIN ERSTAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mariners are officially WS favorites every year because we have the new Darin Erstad.

Re: 2009 MLB Draft Signee Thread

I was reading something, maybe somebody posted it, that he for sure won't be there next year.
You can't 'rebuild' twice and not make the playoffs lol
