Which draft class is better, 05 or 06?

 

[RipCity32]

Andrew Miller looked like he was going to be good, but never translated either. But also helped us get Cabrera.

Looking back at that trade it was basically Maybin and Miller for Cabrera. We still won that deal IMO. Especially if Willis continues his comeback efforts lol.

 

[playmaker7]

I think 06 can end up better but all the players haven't developed as of yet.

Lincecum owns every player in this draft =)

 

[snipezo]

05 hitting>06 hitting
06 pitching > 05 pitching.
Some of the players in the class aren't ready though. So it'll be tough to tell which class is better.
I noticed that the Jays have 3 06 1st rounders though. Drabek, Snider, Morrow <3.

i was pissed we got rid of Maybin and Miller, but loved Miggy. Now looking at it we still won, Maybin is meh and Andrew as you said hasnt translated over.

Rip wont let go that Willis just sux. Dude he's not going back to his old form, it was a waste trading for him.

adam ottavino is a decent dude, for double a

And we should have 4 if JP wasnt a retard. I mean really, who wouldnt accept Rios for Lincecum... at the time it was iffy but still

 

[Gtown81]

<3 Drabek and Snider

I never knew Morrow was that young too

 

[Elite]

This draft is pretty good, lots of guys have already made their mark on the big leagues and still some youngsters who are highly regarded prospects.
