http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/ask-ba/2008/266343.html 在這一期的 ASK BA 專欄有讀者問 Jim Callis 覺得哪些球團選得最好，Callis 認為是 Brewers 跟 Royals。 Which teams had the best drafts? Tom Molinari Upper Saddle River, N.J. I have to issue the standard caveat that it's way too early to know with any great degree of accuracy how any club's draft will turn out. When judging drafts a week after the event, I'm looking at which teams got good value and also assuming that in most cases, any highly-rated prospects who didn't go in the first six rounds on the first day are going to be difficult to sign. Two drafts jump out at me. The Brewers were armed with six picks in the first two rounds, and I like their haul. They couldn't have expected sweet-swinging Canadian high school Brett Lawrie (at No. 16) and athletic Illinois prep righthander Jake Odorizzi (at No. 32) to be available with their first two choices. After those two, Milwaukee landed a big, hard-throwing lefty (San Francisco's Evan Frederickson), another top high school righty (Seth Lintz from Tennesee), another advanced prep bat (outfielder Cutter Dykstra from California) and a strong-armed college righty (Southern Illinois' Cody Adams). San Diego's Josh Romanski (fourth round) is a polished lefthander, and the Brewers already have locked up Santa Clara righty Mark Willinsky, a potential closer and a steal in the 15th round. The Royals started off by grabbing Florida high school first baseman Eric Hosmer at No. 3. Not only is Hosmer the most devastating prep hitter in this draft, but he's also athletic enough to possibly play the outfield. After Hosmer, Kansas City snapped up three of the very best high school pitchers available: lefthander Mike Montgomery (sandwich round, California) and righties Tyler Sample (third, Colorado) and Tim Melville (fourth, Missouri). Melville may be tough to sign but is worth the gamble in the fourth round. The Royals got two more interesting hitters in New Orleans second baseman Johnny Giovatella (second) and already-signed Nebraska prep third baseman Jake Kuebler (17th), the cousin of Kansas City third baseman Alex Gordon. --
