We're at pick #27 and Madden is still on the board. Hmm...

There has to be a reason for the drop in his stock

This is the 12-year old Jackson Merrill that the Padres just drafted:

Does he have Angels guiding him in the field?

[Angel Oracle]

I take back what I said about wanting Madden drafted!

Something is rotten in Denmark.

LOL if he’s still there at #45 and the Halos pass on him again

He won't make it that far. Some team is going to be very happy taking him in the compensation round - not a bad second pick of the draft.

Falling out of the first round when predicted by everyone to go no later than around #12

I just drove past a house that had "england" and the colors painted on the garage, with a party going on

Assumed it was some people upset about 4th of July last weekend. Just figured out what it was in this thread

I assumed he was upset that the England Women's cricket team lost to India earlier today.

All good!  But to answer your question, Madden is still on the board.

EDIT: ...or not.  Picked right as I was posting.

At 20, the Yankees just picked Trey Sweeney, a 21-year old college SS who MLB.com had ranked 55th.  Interesting...

Steinbrenner is cheap.

And Manning

The Angels probably also spent more time on Bachman.  Feel very comfortable that they know his number.  Clearly they didn't think Rocker better and if they did, it wasn't so much that they would risk the possibility that they didn't communicate with him as much and that he might actually go over slot.  

The amount of time and effort they might put into a guy makes a big difference even if someone slightly higher on their board may have dropped a fair amount.  Tie goes to the guy you feel more comfortable with because you know him better.  

I'm surprised they didn't take Rocker but I'm glad they got a guy with upside to be a #1.

just read most of the chat.  Guys were surprised at the Bachman pick stating shoulder and hip injury concerns.  If this guy ends up a frequent IL visitor, I guess that would piss me off a fair amount.

Even better. I'll send it to @Tank, who can show it to Perry next time they run into each other at the Glendale corner market.

i can't say too much but we have a regular table at a place in throne hollywood.
