14 of the 36 mocks now project Clausen to be the first overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Another Name beginning to appear here more often is Washington QB Jake Locker. 2 of the 6 mocks updated today have Locker first overall. This far out, it will be interesting to see how many times this flip flops. STATS LAST WEEK: Clausen was 23/30 for 330 yards and 5 TD passes. Helps the Heismann hunt even though Notre Dame fell to Stanford 45-38, a season that cost Charlie Weis his job.Runner Up: DT Ndamukong Suh, 9 mocks Other listed (more than 1 mock): QB Sam Bradford, QB Jake Locker2nd Pick: DT Nadmukong Suh (Neb)(14 mock drafts or 39) Suh take sover the lead as the 2nd overall pick.

Now we can add another back-up player to the list of players who have signed a contract.According to Todd Zolecki , the Philadelphia Phillies have signed Brian Schneider to a two-year, $2.75 million contract to be their back-up catcher to Carlos Ruiz.

Schneider spent the last two years with the New York Mets.When the Mets traded Lastings Milledge to the Washington Nationals for Schneider and Ryan Church before the 2007 season, I thought it was a good trade for the Mets.Milledge was the Mets top young player at the time, but he is a clown and I have seen hundreds of Milledge types in my day. The Mets were getting back two professional ball players and with Schneider, they were getting a serviceable major league catcher.The Mets got what they expected out of Schneider in 2008. Schneider missed 41 games with a lower back injury and his average plummeted to .218 and his OPS dipped to .627.I like this signing by the Phillies. Would I have given him a two-year deal It’s debatable.Schneider is four years younger than Paul Bako and three years younger than Chris Coste (Coste recently signed with the Mets), who were the Phillies’ back-up catchers last season. Schneider’s .345 caught stealing percentage in 2009 is also better than both of them.Of course knowing the Mets luck with players once they leave Flushing, Schneider will hit .280 with the Phillies and throw out 50 percent of the baserunners trying to run against him.You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter theghostofmlg This article is also featured on The Ghost of Moonlight Graham.
