Rangers Draft paralyzed player

Astros did as well.

 

Astros did it better

 

Stick the kid in left field... probably have better range than Carlos Lee.

 

Damn, you beat me to it. :grin:

 

So Kareem Jackson is a two-sport player now?

 

they drafted him to be 2nd base.

 

Didn't the Astros sign Kaz Matsui when he had an anal fissure?

 

Stop saying that phrase. It grosses me out every time.

 

Not really. It was something that happened in spring training after he'd already been signed.

While these are classy moves by both teams, I'm wondering why exactly they didn't wait until the very end of the draft to make them. I mean, if you want to draft one of these guys, great, but shouldn't the priority be drafting players who are actually going to play for you? Maybe the teams felt that anybody who stood a chance of making it to the majors had already been drafted and they could afford to "waste" a pick in that manner.

 

I read this and very classy move...

 

I know. It was a dumb joke. I try to use the phrase 'anal fissure' any time I can.
