2007 Draft: 2008 Draft Ain't All That

As I mentioned a couple of days back, the second of our 2007 first-rounders, 19 year old Tim Alderson, was named to the Cal League All-Star team as a member of the Single-A San Jose Giants.

Madison Bumgarner is currently a level behind in low-A but, at 18, is still the youngest pitcher in those ranks. Not to be outdone, Bumgarner, who was also named to his league's All-Star team a week ago, leads the Augusta Greenjackets with a dominating performance last night. His line: 7 IP (CG), 4 hits allowed (all singles), 10 Ks and no walks.

In his first full pro season, the 6'4" lefty is 6-2 with a 1.96 ERA and 74 Ks (against 10 walks) in 64.1 innings.

So we have that going for us, which is nice.
