In the 5th round the Indians select...

June 5, 2008
Zach Putnam. Well, finally a pick that doesn't look like a monkey made it from a list of 2000 randomly selected names.

This guy actually has some upside. If the rest of the picks in the draft are like this then this draft may not be a total disaster.

Only problem with that logic: you make you living as a scouting director on the first 3 rounds of the draft because after the top 100 prospects or so are gone, there aren't a lot of high upside guys left.

So, much better than David Roberts, Trey Haley and Cord Phelps but, sorry, not enough to save this pathetic draft....even if I do not have a professional scouting background.
