2008 Draft Recap
« on: July 02, 2008, 10:26:22 am »
is finally up.  It's in a bit different format than previous draft recaps.  Hopefully more user friendly.  Thanks to OSF for the table inspiration and JackAstro for manhandling the thing, prettying it up, and making it readable.  Enjoy.

You never cease to amaze me in how much time and effort you put into the Draft Reviews. No other website/blog can come close to matching SpikesnStars Minor League Section or Draft material.

Thank  you.

Thanks to all.

Also, as I hinted at in the recap user/reader friendly was a theme I tried to accomodate this time out.  I'm open to suggestions to improve the friendliness of the thing.

Thanks to Jacksonian, JackAstro and any other Jacks who were involved (but hopefully not harmed) in the making of this article.  Great reference material, it really reflects well on the site.

Absolutely fantastic writeup.  Thank you very much for the excellent effort.

Sure would be interesting to be a Rookie Ball pitching coach watching 5'9" Cruz throwing his low 90's heater next to 6'9" Duncan tossing his upper 80's "fastball".

Just re-read the recap (this time from rd 50 to rd 1).  Meant to note earlier that this is a great piece of work.  Thank you!
