7:27pm With the sixteenth pick of the 2009 MLB Draft the Arizona Diamondbacks select Bobby Borchering. The Diamondbacks remain on the clock.

7:29pm The Diamondbacks had been interested in Borchering for a while and were just hoping he'd get past the Rockies at 11. Rumor had it that the Diamondbacks would take Matt Davidson with Borchering, so let's see what they do.

7:31pm With the seventeenth pick of the 2009 MLB Draft the Arizona Diamondbacks select AJ Pollock. The Marlins are now on the clock.

7:32pm Well, we got half of the Diamondbacks two picks correct. Borchering was right, but Arizona grabbed Pollock instead of Davidson.

7:34pm Baseball Rumor Mill Best Available: Shelby Miller, Jared Mitchell, Mike Trout

7:36pm With the eighteenth pick of the 2009 MLB Draft the Florida Marlins select Chad James. The Cardinals are now on the clock.

7:37pm The Marlins played their cards very close to the vest and it seemed to be anyone's guess who they'd take with #18. The one thing we did know was that they were going after a pitcher. The real question now is what's wrong with Shelby Miller that's causing him to slip?

7:39pm One player the Cardinals were looking at here was AJ Pollock, but he's now gone. Perhaps Josh Phegley? Maybe Rex Brothers? Or maybe Miller has fallen into their lap.

7:41pm With the nineteenth pick of the 2009 MLB Draft the St. Louis Cardinals select Shelby Miller. The Blue Jays are on the clock.

7:42pm Keith Law and Jason Churchill love Miller and Churchill says he'll be less expensive than many of his peers. Throws very hard, 98mph. I do not think the Cardinals were expecting this.

7:45pm With the twentieth pick of the 2009 MLB Draft the Toronto Blue Jays select Chad Jenkins. The Houston Astros are on the clock.
