Walker and the draft

Go read Steve Novotney's latest on Neil Walker's introduction. He reports that Walker went 46-for-49 in batting practice, which sounds like some kind of record but c'mon, who knows.

Steve also breaks down the draft and did some counting. Turns out that half of all the 2004 picks were pitchers, and half were position players. And half were college players, and half were high school players. Last year the draft was more heavily weighted toward college players and toward pitchers.
