Only 3 Rebels have been picked through the first 6 rounds of the draft. Lance Lynn was taken in the first round (compensation A) as the 39th overall pick by the St. Louis Cardinals, Cody Satterwhite was taken in the second round (67th overall) by the Detroit Tigers, and Scott Bittle was drafted in the second round (75th overall) by the New York Yankees.

Also of note, no Rebel signees have been drafted at this point....

Tune in tomorrow for more coverage...

Bittle to the Yankees hurts, but Lynn playing for the Cardinals kills me.

Just as long as they don't call hightower's name soon, we'll be fine. I kinda want Basham to go soon because the guy deserves it. He helped make scott bittle what he was.

The problem with Basham, and with the rest of the team this year for that matter: hitting. I've been worried that'd hurt him.

Early in the season Basham was doing pretty well at the plate. I think having to catch every game of the season took a huge toll on him and that's why his average started plummeting at about the mid way point of the season.

If he can increase his endurance he'll have a more successful minor league career than Gunther or Brashear.
