James Wood went to Trinity College
I am rooting for James Wood to be amazing.
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
James Wood went to Trinity College and is now, at least on some level, a professional baseball player.
Jeff Sullivan went to Trinity College and….got to live in Hartford for four years.
pdb - June 9, 2010
I could've batted .441
I just didn’t want to.
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
Your modesty is an example to us all in the me-first times in which we live
pdb - June 9, 2010
I thought you were supposed to be the left-handed Brian Sweeney.
JY - June 9, 2010
I could've been awesome
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
In Japan, perhaps.
JY - June 9, 2010
Motivation is an important part of being a professional athlete
Bearskin Rugburn - June 9, 2010
Chemistry major, bitches

Hey Jeff, I'm a rising sophomore at Trinity.
At some point this year, I concluded that it was likely I was the only serious Mariner fan to ever have attended the school. Nearly everyone I’ve met resides in New England, New York, or New Jersey, so basically the entire population of baseball fans at Trinity sits on either the Yankees or Sox bandwagon and tends to be completely unfamiliar with sabermetric analysis and the proper tools for player evaluation. I began to assume that it was always this way. I guess I was wrong.
flashbeak - June 10, 2010
Holy shit
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU FOUR YEARS AGO
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
He's not the only Trinity alum, though.
Although it’s six minor leaguers and Jonah Bayliss, so…
craig3410 - June 9, 2010
Yes, but this one is OURS
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
Kutztown U?
Somebody made that up.
pdb - June 9, 2010
My thoughts exactly.
Really?
JonBBT - June 9, 2010
That's where NFL hall of famer Andre Reed went!
marc w - June 9, 2010
Wait, HOW is Reed not in the HOF? Weird.
marc w - June 9, 2010
As someone that loved the Bills as a small child because he felt bad for them I agree wholeheartedly.
Aaron Campeau - June 9, 2010
I was surprised to see a few of these lower pics come with videos.
Very nice!
Mariner Melee - June 9, 2010
picks*
Mariner Melee - June 9, 2010
Man, I can't believe Boyce went that early.
Horrible overdraft. He’s more like a 45th-round talent.
ThomasG - June 9, 2010
Billy Marcoe's a local kid, I believe. Bellevue? MI?
marc w - June 9, 2010
Not MI.
I am 100% certain I would know him because my brother is a coach of that team.
Kirk - June 9, 2010
Also we would have been at school for two of the same years.
MI’s only “talented” baseball player at that time was Willy Reel. Or at least that’s what I’m told.
Kirk - June 9, 2010
Bellevue. Went to Eastside Catholic.
marc w - June 9, 2010
I wish this list meant something to me.
Slow Country - June 9, 2010
How often do you see guys drafted as utility players?
JonBBT - June 9, 2010
And there's Brian Holman's kid
He had cancer.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/mariners/2011619147_holman16.html
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
Brian Holman has had kind of a rough go of things
Aaron Campeau - June 9, 2010
Wait, Colton Keough?
As in the kid from The Real Housewives from Orange County? That’s awesome.
ThomasG - June 9, 2010
Stupid question from a rookie draft follower...
On the conference call they’ve made a few teams clarify what position a draft selection will be listed as (second-baseman, left fielder, etc). Does this matter on a practical level, or is it just for the draftee’s benefit?
csiems - June 9, 2010
Probably the latter.
It let’s the player know what they’re getting into and possibly provides a vote of confidence, say if he’s a fringey defender but they say he can play short starting out.
JY - June 9, 2010
never has a named defined canada so well
HD - June 9, 2010
Dude was my best friend through high school
When we played little league he agreed that I’d be his agent when he played professionally. He’d better come through on this.
Nick S - June 9, 2010
I hope you have a signed contract.
kentroyals5 - June 9, 2010
woot?
Bearskin Rugburn - June 9, 2010
Golden Tate was draft-eligible?
craig3410 - June 9, 2010
Is there anyone interesting in this?
thehemogoblin - June 9, 2010
I'm sure at least one of them is quirky
and David Holman had cancer in his brain.
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
Cancer so nice they drafted him twice!
/not mocking cancer in the slightest it’s awesome that he’s fully recovered
pdb - June 9, 2010
So now you can identify with James Wood for Trinity and David Holman for brain damage.
abender20 - June 9, 2010
Besties!
Jeff Sullivan - June 9, 2010
Some people liked Peterson.
He has a commitment to Arizona I think.
JY - June 9, 2010
We drafted somebody as a utility player?
Wow
Matthew - June 9, 2010
I can't wait to see his MLB success.
abender20 - June 9, 2010

Matthew - June 9, 2010
RHP Madness!
As a novice to following the draft – is it “normal” to see such a heavy bias towards pitchers? Is it because so many of them are 1-dimensional in HS/College and only a few develop decent 2nd/3rd pitches in the minors?
I can see a need to pull a few more pitchers than position players (especially when you consider that roughly 45% of your 25-man roster is going to be staffed with pitchers); but drafting 60% pitchers seems a bit, I dunno, excessive.
NWade - June 9, 2010
I kind of like that strategy
Teams end up throwing a lot of money away when they sign free agent pitchers — due mostly to injury, but also to underperformance. Position players usually offer a better investment as free agents. Of course, you have to get your pitchers from somewhere, so drafting a lot of them is a good way to increase your chances of stocking your staff with cheap, club-control pitchers. If you run short of position players from your system, a team can buy them on the free agent market.
nathaniel dawson - June 10, 2010
It was a draft heavier in pitching talent
