Rzepczynski, if only because of the mental picture of announcers rupturing vocal chords trying to pronounce it.
I actually thought Jackson would run away with this poll. Apparently not everyone has watched the video of him in the field.
I voted for Jackson, then watched the video. He reminds me a little of Shawon Dunston, and that's all to the good.
Speaking of videos, I thought it was funny that they'd show the video of Ahrens throwing two balls over the first baseman's head out of 10 throws or so.
He was my vote too. Hopefully he can develop a good change and start.
I voted for Magnuson entirely because of his name. Trystan Magnuson? How do you not love it?
If Magnuson's baseball career doesn't work out, he could find a nice line of work in World Domination. Or possibly Saving The World. The name has nearly equal hero/villain possibilitie.
I voted for Ahrens, because he looks pretty good. But I think Eiland is a very interesting choice with a lot of upside.

How good a draft was this?
After 270 votes there are 7 guys with at least 15 votes. This may prove to be the best Jay's draft ever. Now if only we can get 7 picks of the first 88 every draft!
Jackson is my pick, but I like the skillset of Tolisano as well who could make for a fine sleeper. Cecil has the makeup to make it and contribute at some level, there's a lot to be said for that.
