The Yankees were looking at him as a 1st rounder.

Edit- Nice pick by the A's as well taking Brett Hunter.

Wow.... Hunter down to the seventh round. This guy was supposed to be a first rounder before his injury, wasn't he?

The 2 UNC Feder-something guys just went.

Galloway still on the board.

Galloway to the Marlins in the 8th.

Was hoping TB would grab Galloway, but the Fish is fine with me. I bet Mudcats will be thrilled if he signs. He'll cost a fair amount, though.

This is why Hunter fell so far down:

Pepperdine had two of its top players fall to the seventh round due to injuries. Wave righthander Brett Hunter didn't stay around long on Day two as the A's just selected him with their first pick in the seventh round. Scouts say Hunter has a strained ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow; at least that's what the medical report says now. More likely, closer inspection could reveal a tear, and many scouts think Hunter will need Tommy John surgery. In the seventh round, it's worth the risk, as he has one of the draft's best arms when healthy.

Very interesting. Even if he needs TJ he may still end up being a steal in the seventh round. It still doesn't make up for the Weeks pick though :doubt:

Glad we got Galloway, but why hasn't Alex Meyer been chosen yet?

I heard he sent a letter out to all teams, asking not to be drafted.
