is starting to develope, we’re lucky it didnt get worse. It was a big hole that we dug ourselves into with few productions after Hendry left as scouting director. Other than Theriot, Soto, Hoffpauir and Fox along with Gallagher and Wells a converted guy its been a little thin. Then we dont have one single player from the 2005 draft get to the Major Leagues and basically with busts looking like Dopirak and Harvey. Also in the last four drafts since 2006 we’ve lost four drafts, three in 2006 and one in 2007 with the Cubs only have two extra picks in Donaldson and Flaherty and Donaldson pick came without a 2nd rounder. So its good to see where the last four years might be showing.

so. I was a little hard on Dopirak and there’s still a chance he can make it. He certainly looks like he could give Ruiz a run for his money and Overbay may not have alot time left on his Blue Jay clock. Thee irony of this is that Dopirak not known for his defensive ability is probably a better fielding 1st baseman than Ruiz. Just by process of elimination Dopirak might end up the 1st sacker for at least a little time, providing he gets out on the right foot this spring training.
