Kris Medlen ... RHP, 3-1, 2.79 ... Edwin Jackson ... RHP, (3-6, 5.33 ... Another nine shutout innings from Edwin Jackson tonight? We can but hope so - and, ideally, with a little bit more in the way of run support from the offense this time. If Jackson throws more than 103 pitches tonight, he'll probably move in to the top five for pitches thrown this season in the NL - he's currently ranked eighteenth, but only two of those ahead of him (Yovani Gallardo and Chris Carpenter) are starting

After amassing an entire one pick yesterday, we should certainly see more action on the second day of the draft for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, I have to work today, which will mean I will not be able to contribute too much to the discussion, but I hope to be able to lob in a few scouting reports, etc. especially for the first few picks as we go through the day. As before, please feel free to post links to interesting pieces on any of our selections in the comments, and I'll try

Derek Lowe ... RHP, 8-4, 4.44 ... Dan Haren ... RHP, 2-3, 4.31 ... It may be draft day, but there is still "proper" baseball going on, with the Diamondbacks now playing host to the Atlanta Braves for a four-game set. They have gone on a tear since we last saw them over on the East coast, and come into this series as the leaders of the NL East. In the road series, they take two of three from us - there was a blow-out in each direction, but the Braves pipped us 6-5 in the opening contest ... Kelly
