Q:  bill anderson from norwood MA asks:
Hi Jim, What are the chances Wagner will be there for Boston at #17? Would he
be you're pick there? Also, do you know if the Sox are pursuing any draft and
follow picks from last year? Thanks.

 A:  Jim Callis: That's Houston RHP Ryan Wagner, who's on course to break the
NCAA Division I K9 record with his nuclear slider. The Red Sox do like him,
but are more apt to try to get him with the No. 32 pick. We hear they're
looking for college bats at No. 17, maybe Louisiana State SS Aaron Hill or
Baylor OF David Murphy. We're still gathering DFE info. We updated some on
the site today, but that list is by no means complete.



 Q:  Ben from Arizona asks:
Who have the Expos focused in on with their #1? Thanks.

 A:  Jim Callis: The Expos have the first pick in the 20-24 group, all of
which are expected to be high school choices. They'd love to see Lubanski
fall to them, and Duncan is from scouting director Dana Brown's home state,
so they know all about him.
