This is a 2 part interview for those that might have missed it.
From AF dot com.
It`s a real good read on how it all went down and the thinking of the man with the plan.

Part one

Part two

Good analysis of day one not so much day 2 but I guess they are system guys.

Hope Lofton works out, itd be nice to have a full time mlb again.


PS Whats up with the baby mustache? Let it grow or cut it down.

"The first draft was everything I thought it would be and more," Dimitroff said. "It was steeped in excitement and adrenaline rushes. There was much planning and movement within the room. Everyone was very focused. I was very impressed with the way the college scouting staff and our coaching staff came together down the stretch preparing for what we felt like was a monumental draft. We had to make some very hard decisions and very pointed decisions and we felt very good about the direction we went."

Somehow, this does not seem to jibe w/the new personnel changes in the scouting staff as of late. :unsure:

I don`t think a couple scout hires is a big deal.
Caldwell was hired to replace the guy lost to the Rams and Vital was just a nice addition.

Here is a breakdown of the staff..
