Im seeing mckenna as high from 80 to 160. Perritt is way down the list at 421. I scanned briefly but didnt see trevillian close or artis in BA's top 500.

Well the A's decided to take a flyer on one of our overworked and underdeveloped pitchers, taking Jared Lyons in Round 9

Glad to see that. The low-budget A's are a good organization where young guys get a legitimate shot to make the majors. Solid front office with a track record of developing young talent. Their farm system is thin right now and their bullpen is killing them at the big show this year.

So if I can summarize the threads up to this point: not Toman.

You're not conference pitcher of the year and underdeveloped. Use your brain, Beej.

I know. I just thought I'd say it that way in light of your regularly critical comments about his pitching coach...so I kinda was using my brain

Jon's the one who made the comment about pitchers being overworked and underdeveloped (or some such thing. he ought to still own that comment even in this situation, not tell me to "use your brain".

Beej, you're proving how unintelligent you are by belaboring this point. It's possible for us to not develop talent well while at the same time, having guys who do develop. Those two are not mutually exclusive.

Crazy that close and perritt ended up falling below lyons. Lyons just got better every year. I thought we could have tried alex at 3b a couple years ago and that would have improved his draft stock. He had the tools to try it. He def wont catch in minors and hes going to have to mash to make it as a 1b. 3 great players either way. Hope perritt and alex go quick today.

What does Trevillian's twitter account say?

All that tweet says is that he is entering the draft, nothing about him signing. That doesn´t mean he hasn´t or won´t, but you´d need another source, cause it´s not there. I feel pretty sure he expected to go higher. College baseball may be starting to look like a better option right about now.

The rounds for baseball really don't mean that much in regards to money for high school players or juniors. Some guys fall in the draft because they are asking for too much money, and guys are drafted early because they will sign for less money and then the organization can take a chance on other players. There have been guys in 35th round still get half a mill or more. He will get a LOT more money than Jared Lyons does in the 9th round, let's just say that.
