Bay Area Baseball

Original Picks
26 Craig Hansen Boston Red Sox
27 Joey Devine Atlanta Braves
28 Colby Rasmus St. Louis Cardinals
29 Jacob Marceaux Florida Marlins
30 Tyler Greene St. Louis Cardinals

New Picks
26 Boston Red Sox - Joey Devine, RHP - ERA star for Oakland last year would be an awesome addition to the Red Sox relief core.
27 Atlanta Braves - Chase Headley, OF - Solid bat is the type of guy who could bring consistency to an inconsistent outfield.
28 St. Louis Cardinals - Micah Owings, RHP/Raker - Owings would be a solid back end starter as well as a potent #8 hitter for Tony LaRussa.
29 Florida Marlins - Steven Pearce 1B - He’s ready for the big leagues and should drive in runs while making outs in a Florida RBI man type of way.
30 St. Louis Cardinals - Clayton Richard, LHP - Went 12-6 with a 2.47 ERA in the minors last year before a rough run in the big leagues.

Red Sox fans would love to see Teagarden shaking hands in Fenway park for the next decade or so.

23        Jacoby Ellsbury            Boston Red Sox

24        Bingo Barnes               Houston Astros

25        Matt Garza                  Minnesota Twins

New Picks

21        Oakland Athletics - Nolan Reimold, OF - Powerful outfielder is the type of hitter that Billy Beane would love to add to the heart of his order.

22        Florida Marlins - Aaron Cunningham, OF - He looks like a big league regular at worst, just a major league baseball player.

23        Boston Red Sox - Taylor Teagarden, C - Would be the heir apparent to Varitek, if not the starter now. Boston would love to have him as their catcher of the future.

24        Houston Astros - Jensen Lewis, RHP - Flexible pitcher can start or relieve. Houston can use this type of guy.

25        Minnesota Twins - Yunel Escobar, SS - Seems like a playmaker who could be an exciting young star for the Twins.

New Picks
