Top Pick: Julio Borbon OF UTENN 3rd/60 Borbon is a first team All American OF who has missed most of the season with an injury. He hits for avg and has excellent speed.
Draft: E Eiland HS, T Corcoran TB card, R Dent HS, P Janish Cin, P Sobolewski UMia, J Donaldson Aub, R Babineau UCLA, J Inman STF, C Brewer UCLA
Allstar: none
Assesment: No early picks relegated AUS to college and HS players. Borbon is a 2st team AA but I have doubts if his skill set will be valuable in MLB/Strat. AN interesting collection of hs and college players of which I like Donaldson the best.
Top Pick: Adrian Cardenas Phi 2b/ss 1st/19 Offensive minded middle infielder with good speed. It will be interesting to see what Phi does with cardenas as they have Utley and Rollins in the middle inf.
Draft: E Gonzalez Was, W Venable SD, C Huffman SD, M Reynolds Arz, N Fuller SCar, J Reyes Atl, D Brown OKst, J Litsch Tor, M Long CHA
Allstar: none
Assesment I think Gonzalez may pass Cardenas on the prospect chart by next spring. He has the potential to be an everyday ss and I'm not so sure where Cardenas will play. Venable and Reynolds also should eb big leaguers someday.
Top Pick: Tyler Colvin CHN RF 1st/16 1st rd pick of the cubs after big jr season at Clem. He was drafted a little early by Chn to save money to pay for Samardjiza. He had a successful debut and projects as the cub rf of the future.
Other 1st rd pick: Gorkys Hernandez Det OF
Future Allstar: Hernandez
Draft: S Marek LAA, P Mattingly LAD, R Gload CHA card, J Benson Min, A White UNC, J Cooper HS, S Evarts ATL, E Solis Tex
Assesment: Hdt used both number 1s on OF. Hernandez is the higher risk/reward player while Colvin should be a solid everyday RF. Mattingly, Benson and White have the potential to be top prospects in the future.
Top Pick: Alfredo Amenzega Fla ss card 3rd/61. Utility middle inf with above avg defense.
Draft: D Moskos Clem, J Arrieta TCU, C Britton Bal card, S Hunt TENN, K Gibson Mizz, D Dickerson Bay, W Kapetyn Evan, P Koss USC, C Weathers Van, T Ross Cal, T Hunter Ala
Allstar: none
Assesment: I think Wash found a couple of keepers in Moskos and Arrieta. I think both will be 1st rd picks this June. I have good feeling that one or more of the other college players will be of future value.
