IV. The Big Day
Zimmerman, 1B, Nationals (No. 4 pick, Nationals, Virginia): Taking your game to the next level was special enough. To be drafted by the team that was close to where I grew up, where I went to college, it was a good fit.
Braun: I just remember interacting with [current Mariners general manager] Jack Zduriencik, who was our scouting director at the time. He was a lot of fun to be around and he had a lot of success drafting Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy, Corey Hart. So I knew I was going to a good organization that was headed in the right direction.

Maybin: We rented out a steakhouse. That was before you could watch it on television. We had some computers hooked up to the Internet in the restaurant. It was exciting, but really nerve-racking at the same time.
McCutchen: During the Draft, the Rays went for a pitcher [Wade Townsend], and I said, "Man, this is going to be tough." Tenth pick was the Tigers, they got Maybin, and the Pirates were next, and I'm going, "OK, this is the team." And then they got me.

Bruce: The Rockies were supposed to take me. Braun was supposed to go third to the Mariners. Tulowitzki was supposed to go fifth to the Brewers. I was supposed to go seventh, but Jeff Clement got picked by the Mariners, then Braun dropped to the Brewers and Tulowitzki went to the Rockies. It was like a trickle-down effect. I was just ecstatic to be anywhere near that area.
Ellsbury: I don't even remember my reaction. I just remember everybody's reaction, obviously being very excited, a lot of high fives, congratulating me.

Rasmus: Leading up to the Draft, with all the guys that had a lot of credentials already, it was a great Draft to be a part of. But at the same time, if there wouldn't have been so many good players I could have [gone] a little higher. It's all good.
Buchholz: I was in a hotel room with some of my family. It wasn't a huge party, but it was a pretty special day.
Lowrie: I was flying back from [the NCAA Regionals in] Waco, [Texas,] when the Draft was happening, so I didn't hear my name get called. When I got off the plane, I had about 10 text messages and 10 voicemails, so I figured something good happened.

Blue Jays at Red Sox
Total 8.5
The Blue Jays now have a ten game winning streak and who better than to prove their prowess on than the lowly Red Sox? Toronto has now started to turn up the heat and those around them in the standings had better be ready.

Tulowitzki: You're happy to go anywhere to fulfill a dream, but you compare yourself to other guys and say, "I think I'm better than him, and he was picked before me." You definitely play those games, but in the end you're looking forward to joining that organization and trying to get to the big leagues.
Bruce: I say the only person the Draft works out for, all in all, is the first pick. I think the second pick always thinks he should have gone first. The third pick probably thinks he should have gone first, and everyone else thought they should have been drafted higher or were told at some point they would be drafted higher.

Altuve pumped to be back at '100 percent' By Chandler Rome / MLB.com
HOUSTON -- After missing the Astros' last three games with a strained right hamstring and running out of ways to keep himself occupied in the dugout, Jose Altuve returned to the lineup against the Rockies on Tuesday, batting third. "He's been bouncing off the walls, been stacking cups, been doing everything to distract himself during the game until he can get back in there," said manager A.J. Hinch. "He's ready to go." Altuve, currently in second place in AL All-Star balloting at second base, didn't waste any time getting back into the swing of things, lining an RBI single in the first inning to plate George Springer, who topped out at 21.43 mph scoring from second, according to Statcast™.

Who's next to 3,000 hits, Alex? A-Rod needs 1 more Marlins reliever Dyson issues four-pitch walk in 8th on Yankees slugger's attempt at milestone By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- The milestone would have to wait for one more night, as Alex Rodriguez flipped his bat aside and accepted an eighth-inning free pass, but the slugger cracked a small smile as he trotted up the baseline. Even after everything that has transpired, the Yankee Stadium crowd seemed to be completely in his corner. All year, Rodriguez has enjoyed rolling the clock back 365 days and marveling at how far he has come, and he was handed another opportunity on Thursday. Rodriguez now stands just one hit shy of joining the 3,000-hit club, having gone 2-for-4 in the Yankees' 9-4 victory over the Marlins.
