Draft Day is Here
The draft is finally upon us. More than 65 people have entered the online contest for baseline seats to a future Dodger game. There’s only about an hour left before you can get your picks in, so do it ASAP. Any picks posted after 10:00 a.m. PT won’t count.
I haven’t looked through the entries, but I’m going to cap the winners at three just in case you all picked the same three guys. That means, the first three people who listed our guys correctly will get the seats. If no one picks all three right, which is very possible, we’ll go to the one(s) who picked two out of three. If a ton of people get two out of three right, the higher up your correct picks, the better. So for example, if you picked #7 and #26 right and someone else got #7 and #31 right, the first person would win. Make sense? I hope so, because this isn’t an exact science as you can tell.
It’s great to see so many people getting interested in the draft. If you want to talk about our picks tomorrow with Amateur Scouting Director Logan White, you can do that in tomorrow’s live chat at 3 p.m. PT. You’ll excuse him, I hope, if he’s tired. He told me yesterday that it’s a ritual that he not sleep the night before the draft, so he’s been up since yesterday morning.
Inside the Dodgers 
ESPN projects Hochevar goes to the Royals. All I have to say is
Hahahahahahahahaha!
C’mon Kersha, Kiker, and Morris.
Good luck to White and the rest of the Dodger organization today.
Go figure, I got #7 correct, lol !!!
I just got #26 in Morris, come’on Kiker !!!
Kiker was already taken 12th.
Kershaw
Morris
Mattingly
Good group from my reading.
Mattingly just went #31, MLB is very surprised by this one. MLB said the Dodger first two picks are one of the best drafts this year !!
Nobody in the contest picked Mattingly, who is of course, Don Mattingly’s son.
Here’s the NY Daily News on Mattingly.

Here’s a profile for Kershaw.

Not a lot of stuff available on Avery Morris from a few google searches, though. Anyone else know anything about him, other than that he was picked #88 overall in the 3rd round last year but did not sign with Tampa Bay?
Here’s a Dallas Morning News Article on Kershaw.
