draft- h carrasco card, d rundle hs, m wieters gtech, b belt hs, k whelen det, r tucker fla, n adkins hs, p orr card, c errecart cal
proflie- Mcdougal is a hard throwing rh set up/closer. He has been up and down since being a high pick out of wake forest. His stats have never reflected his stuff.
assesment- Aus loaded up it's bullpen with carrasco and mcdougal to help win games this year. Out the rest of thisdraft I do like Tucker.
top pick- Ronny Cedeno Chn ss carded 1st rd 13th overall
draft- c gomez nyn, c headley sd, s mathieson phi, j smoak scar, d ivany was
profile- Cedeno won the cubs starting ss job last sept. He profiles as an above avg def ss with some offensive skills. He had a huge year at AAA and if that carries over to big leagues he will become a premium ss.
assesment- A lot to like here. Cedeno should be a keeper and I really do like Headley and Smoak.
top pick- David Price Lhp Vandy 1st rd 20th overall
draft- j ellsbury bos, o robles card, d hollins card, j cox nya, b lincoln uh, j rodriguez rice, s robinson fsu, v mazzaro
profile- Price entered 06 as the top rated soph. He is a tall lh pictcher who throws hard and has a plus slider. He projects as the #1 pick for the 07 draft.
assesment- Price and Ellsbury are premium players. There is some potential from the college jrs to go high in the draft.
top pick- Chris Spurling Det rhp carded 1st rd 18th overall
draft- a reyes card, a small card, k frandsen sfo, m walker tb, b bannister nyn, d jones stl, r gonzalez cin, k blanks sd, pa astacio card, r johnson sd, f diaz dc, n webber stl
profile- Bannister is the son of former astros and mlb #1 pick floyd bannister. He doesn't have his dad's stuff but has shown the ability to get batters out.
assesment- Wash burned it's first 3 picks on cards. I actually like the carded guys a little. I'm sure There are a few keepers in the rest of this draft. Keep an eye on frandsen and jones. You never know when Ken is going to catch a littlle lightning in the bottle by drafting a sleeper who will make a rotation in the spring and then have a big 1st month in the show.
