My ex-girlfriend's fiance's brother just got drafted by the Padres!

[Drunkenmaster]

10th round. Pretty damn good!

(sidenote: my 4,666th post on 6-6-06....yikes!)

so basically a person whom you only know by vague relation is going to be in the minors with the Padres until he blows out an elbow or knee and retires into obscurity?

AWESOME! :yes:

[Drunkenmaster]

No, actually I know him quite well, ASS!

What round, what name, prospect or roster-filler, stats?

[Drunkenmaster]

Kody Valverde 10th round (303) out of University of Alabama. He's a 5th year senior so I'd imagine he'll be a bit of a roster filler. He's a good hitter and a very good catcher. His stats are here (http://www.rolltide.com/fls/8000/files/baseball/2006/teamcume.htm). I hope he does well. He's a very good catcher. Out of 66 steal attempts he threw out 25 which is pretty respectable.

42/35 K/BB; .1060 OPS. Not bad, not bad at all. Definitely draftworthy, and better than a roster-filler.

[Drunkenmaster]

Yeah, I wonder if he'll have to start out in A.

On the topic of baseball I give you one of my favorite O&A bits of all time - Harry Carey vs. Bob Murphy (http://oavirus.com/indexframe.htm).

Shit, well you have to go to the archives and then click on "h" and it's in there.
