BDD Live  

BDD Live returns this Saturday with another jam packed show. Former Washington Nationals top selection and Missouri standout Aaron Crow will join us just after the midpoint of the hour, shedding some light on the negotiations that failed to materialize as last Friday's deadline came and went. Crow will now take his mid-90s fastball to Fort Worth in the Independent League, hoping to keep building on his impressive college resume as he'll re-enter the draft in 2009.

As major league squads go down to the wire trying to sign this year's major league draft selections, anther top prospect already entrenched in the minor league system joins BDD Live tomorrow. Baltimore Oriole prospect Chris Tillman, a central part of the deal that sent Erik Bedard to Seattle, comes in studio to talk about the move to the Baltimore organization. From there we'll analyze the week that was in the majors, complete with a waiver wire deal that saw Adam Dunn head West. Jim McLennan from AZ Snakepit joins us to lend some insight on the deal. McLennan's popular blog has been in the middle of every move made out in the Desert, and he'll give us the pulse of Diamondback fans after this blockbuster trade made earlier this week.

As one deadline passed by, another approaches with August 15th looming over head. That of course is the final day for major league clubs to sign their draft picks, and that along with another group of star studded guests will highlight this week's BDD Live broadcast. Before the draft takes the spotlight, Philadelphia Phillies star reliever Chad Durbin will join us in studio, as his squad currently leads the three-way dogfight in the National League East. Next in the booth is Baseball America's Jim Callis, with all the info surrounding the looming deadline for this year's draft picks. 11 first round picks remain unsigned, including four of the top five selections. Callis will enlighten us and fans about the status of tomorrow's stars, and give us insight on all the posturing and negotiating behind the scenes as deadline day closes in.
