TPM, don't forget our friend Herman Demmink, 28th round to Phillies.
I don't know how many 28th rounders make it to the bigs, but this is one kid you don't want to bet against. A legendary hard worker.

Headed out the door...but before I leave...I would like to say, any PLAYER that can catch 8 full innings behind the dish in very hot and humid weather ala Chandler Stadium in Atlanta right now, go 3 for 4 with a monster homerun, two singles and a walk(on base all day long)....Go out to bullpen, warm-up, come back to mound from bullpen in ninth...pump 93-95MPH fastballs with 84-85MPH power sliders....shut 'em down and get the save...
THAT PLAYER IS TALENTED AND WORTHY !!!
Furthermore, I am renewing my predictions...
Shep's Going Wieters again !!!Great job Matt !!!
Roll on Ramblin Wreck !!!! GA TECH !!!!
Bet the Mariners wished they had Wieters to compliment the 21 pitchers they drafted this year. They will need a big strong bodied catcher in the very near future to help catch this long list of 6'3" or taller group of pitchers
Maybe 2007 they will be fortunate enough to draft him. Shep's 2007 Pick!Peace and have a Good day...Everybody! Shep
Wonder who it's going to be for the Gold?
Will it be Ga Tech? Clemson? NC? Omaha will be very interesting indeed!!! The drama unfolds!!!
Stay tuned for updates!!! Peace, Shep

Rob's making a good case for those Beavers I should add....Anyway, the big matchup we've all been waiting for is Friday at 2:00 EST in Omaha!
Ga Tech Vs Clemson Tigers
I have no predictions...Let the chips fall!!!
Do throw the Beavers in the mix though...I believe Mr Kremer just might be right about their hitting at current time! Peace, Shep

Shep - After you're done "going Wieters", what are your thoughts on going SMOAKing?
Shep, u have a pm

SMOAKing has never been Shep's style>I like to be upfront close and personal like with my heros and the winners here at HSBBW...besides, I'm never going to stop GOING WIETERS because he is going to the Hall of Fame! Speaking of Hall of Fame, I had the honor of Shaking Gary Carter's hand before St Lucie Mets VS Vero Beach Dodgers last night after discussing his players before the game and boy o boy, that was a real honor for the humble and lowly Shepster to actually have the ears of a Hall of Fame player of that statute!! A privilage indeed!!!
Peace, Shep PS(Think I'll get a picture tonight)
Update: Shoulda got the pic last night because tonight was a very busy pre-game for everybody!
