Draft Day Live

I'll update this thing as we go...

First pick of 2006 first-year player draft: RHP Luke Hochevar to the Kansas City Royals

1. KC - Luke Hochevar
2. COL - Greg Reynolds
3. TB - Evan Longoria
4. PIT - Brad Lincoln
5. SEA - Brandon Morrow
6. DET - Andrew Miller
7. LAD - Clayton Kershaw
8. CIN - Drew Stubbs
9. BAL - Billy Rowell
10. SF - Tim Lincecum
11. ARI - Max Scherzer
12. TEX - Kasey Kiker
13. CHC - Tyler Colvin
14. TOR - Travis Snider
15. WAS - Chris Marrero
16. MIL - Jeremy Jeffress
17. SD - Matt Antonelli
18. PHI - Kyle Drabek
19. FLA - Brett Sinkbeil
20. MIN - Chris Parmalee

Hochevar - good pick
Reynolds - bad pick
Longoria - good pick
Lincoln - very good pick...
Morrow - good pick

I like both Lincoln and Morrow more than Reynolds...Reynolds was a 41st round pick of the Phillies back in 2003...

Wow...Andrew Miller is the big shocker so far of this draft...Verlander/Bonderman/Miller in that rotation...this is a huge surprise

UPDATE 3 (1:00)

Top five best guess:
1. KC - Hochevar
2. COL - RHP Greg Reynolds
3. TB - Longoria
4. PIT - RHP Brad Lincoln
5. SEA - RHP Brandon Morrow

UPDATE 2 (12:40)

The Dodgers, picking 7th overall, are reportedly hot after RHP Bryan Morris out of Motlow State Community College...this is relevant to the Phillies because Los Angeles was believed to be a team with an interest in HS RHP Kyle Drabek...I still think the Dodgers could land HS pitcher Clayton Kershaw at 7, but this new rumor definitely throws a wrinkle into draft day posturing...

UPDATE 1 (12:30)

Latest rumors with the draft just a half hour away...

1. Kansas City - RHP Luke Hochevar
2. Colorado - RHP Brad Lincoln
3. Tampa - INF Evan Longoria

4. Pirates...

If the top three picks go down like that, almost every mock drafter/draft expert out there would have been wrong in their prediction...how far would UNC LHP Andrew Miller fall if this is really how the first three picks shake out?
