        Let's see.

        Get drafted before Acid? Check.

        Not get drafted by the Yankees? Check.

        Have the best 5-tool potential in the draft? Check.

        Potential 30-30 player? Check.

        Playing in a hitter friendly Coors? Check.

        Doing all at the age of 16? Priceless.

          Don't mean to burst your bubble, but Acid's guy has been shooting up the system, while yours has went down. Let me illustrate it for you.

          Acid's guy (Woodlock)
          2011: starts in A and ends in AA
          2012: starts in AA, called up to AAA, september call up where he starts in 15+ games on a playoff team

          Callaghan
          2011: starts in AA and sent down to A
          2012: whole year in rookie ball

          Now, let's just say that Acid slipped because his agent was Scott Boras, because honestly he probably was the best player in the draft. Two more years done, with the new players added. I'll try to post a little write up tomorrow or something.

              I was still drafted before him. It's the moral victories.

              Plus, I'm on the Rockies. I don't expect to have a very good career.

                  I'm thinking that Gason Jiambi could be the next big steroid user. It said that he could easily belt 50 bombs in a season, so there will have to be some strict testing on that guy.

                      Haha! I think we need to test Gason Jiambi every day a because he's just destined to use steroids. Heck, he was probably already using them at the little league level!

                          I'll go ahead and add you to the 2013 draft, as well as the others that were posted on the last page.

                          Quick question though for you guys. Would posting updates for the players every 5 years be too long to update? I'm up to somewhere between 15-20 players now, so posting every year or two would add up pretty quick. What I plan on doing is posting the awards, all-stars, ect. as they come up, and just post an update like I did on the previous one at the end. If that's cool with you guys I'll just go up to 2015 tomorrow and try to have the recaps posted in a day or two.
