Next Saturday's A's Fan Fest will feature a Draft Seminar. Hopefully the A's Coordinator of Scouting and Player Development , Danny McCormack, will be available for Q & A. In the meantime, Derek Zumsteg of Baseball Prospectus has a great article about how strategy when approaching the subject of the draft. Mind you, this isn't bunker stuff, just how to win or lose a full year of hope via the draft by being stupid.
Koch Me if You Can
The Chicago White Sox overspent $10,625,000 on Billy Koch yesterday in a move that locks him up for two years and avoids arbitration. Koch gets $4.25 million this year and an untradable $6,375,000 next year. Then again, we thought Keith Foulke was untradeable with his salary. White Sox GM Kenny Williams sure knows how to sign paychecks. We project early July will be a good time for the compalints about how New Comiskey isn't good enough for the White Sox and how they need a new stadium for increased revenue streams.
Sometimes, there just isn't anyting to write about.
