Smoak is the most polished hitter in the draft and will likely be the first one up to MLB.

i actually think that some of the risk with Posey is that he's a position change guy and hasn't been catching all of his life. this isn't someone who has been calling games for a long time and i think that is still going to be part of his development process.

I actually meant to post that in response to Shikantaza's post below asking about Sandoval. - starburst 2008-06-06 08:54:06 (54 views)

move Sandoval back to 3b? - shikantaza 2008-06-06 06:40:27 (40 views)

i think 1B is more likely - wiz 2008-06-06 08:38:08 (37 views)

I can see Sandoval back up both Posey & Villalona in the future - wishful thinking 2008-06-06 10:49:45 (42 views)

good point... he could be a good holdover under Villalona makes the show. - shikantaza 2008-06-06 09:20:14 (34 views)

i also think you are more likely to see a FA/trade on the left side of the infield. - wiz 2008-06-06 09:45:14 (52 views)

I don't know. I haven't seen him play. We just got Gillaspie at 3rd and he seems to be fairly close - starburst 2008-06-06 06:57:06 (59 views)

Sandoval is simply not ready. - wishful thinking 2008-06-06 06:40:17 (64 views)

whether or not Buster develops 18 hr/season power, it will be sweet to have - shikantaza 2008-06-06 06:43:15 (64 views)

Yeah, especially given the quality of our young pitchers. We have developed - starburst 2008-06-06 06:48:58 (59 views)

I feel the same way... I liked Smoak's power, but they had Posey #2 on their board - shikantaza 2008-06-06 06:11:22 (77 views)

I'm surprised they passed on Smoak, but Posey is a good pick at #5 - LG 2008-06-06 01:45:43 (74 views)

Why do you think Smoak lasted until 11? - Hawk_941 2008-06-05 23:20:26 (100 views)

Where you get drafted doesn't mean much. Lincecum was drafted 10 - Duck the Fodgers 2008-06-06 08:21:23 (56 views)
