Is he still available? I didn’t see his name listed on the MLB draft tracker- really thought he’d have been picked by now.

I've got to wonder about that

Beavan is doing really well but McCarthy can’t stay healthy. Isn’t there such a thing as too tall?

Ryan Anderson is a

good example to start out with. Andrew Brackman?

by Michael Cave on Jun 10, 2009 1:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

Don't get me wrong

I’m not upset about the pick because I know nothing about the kid. At least he’s already 225lbs which allays some worries. I just wonder though if there’s a point where height is a disadvantage rather than advantage.

by Hull Fan on Jun 10, 2009 1:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Most guys flame out, tall or no.

And there are plenty of tall guys who work out. The percentages are fine. They tend to get focused on a bit more cause they’re interesting.

The 40 Trumps All!!!

Chris Davis will be fine. Relax.

by thedirkatron on Jun 10, 2009 3:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

Meanwhile

Erlin falls because he’s considered too short at 5’11" and any guys that are 6’0" 180 lbs. are talked about as being small. I would think a guy in the 6’0" range would have an easier time coordinating all the moving parts.

that is the advantage of going the Juco route. You are draft eligible each year i believe.

naw in the old days you could snag juco's

after one season but 4 year schools kids had to sit out till jr year. that still applies, but you gotta sign them by the same deadline

andy throws this out about Bell:
Big kid at 6’3’’, not a great fastball, but I wonder if they think they can make him like Holland. He does have some pitchability, and the Rangers probably got a little big of a bargain at this slot.

the team

must have a lot of faith in their LA position players, because this is unreal. Our lower level strength is undoubtedly on the mound, and yet we continue to grab these arms. I can’t help but feel (hope) that each case is “Well, we thought we’d go SS here, but this area scout is jumping up and down that there’s no way this pitcher should still be there, so we’ll grab a SS next round.”

the money they saved in drafting Sanchez at 4

could go a long way in getting some of these later picks to sign. Two or three million can be reallocated a lot of ways.

Based on the roster that Cole got a hold of

#35 of FL. Jayce Boyd, of, Tate HS, Pensacola
For Tate High’s Jayce Boyd, the wait will go on at least one more day.

Day one of the Major League Baseball Draft came and went Tuesday without Boyd coming off the board, and he’s now a safe bet to be picked in the early part of today’s rounds, which run from 4 through 30, starting at 11 a.m.

Since he wasn’t picked, his future is still up in the air, but it was a fun experience for him.

“I figured it probably wouldn’t be (Tuesday) anyway,” said Boyd, who already has signed with Florida State. “I was just excited to watch because half those guys drafted today, I’ve played against or played with.”

He came close to being picked by the Chicago Cubs. The organization called and made him an offer with the 79th pick, toward the end of the second round. He turned it down, though, because he’s expecting either the Red Sox or Yankees to give him a chance to play summer ball for them to see if he can earn the undisclosed money number he wants from them.

Boyd still is expected to be easily the first area selection in this year’s draft, but several other local baseball players should be chosen at some point during the next two days. The MLB Draft runs for 50 rounds.

West Florida High pitcher Brett Lee is the next high school player who will likely be picked. Lee also is an FSU signee, and Major League scouts are attracted to his 6-foot-4 frame and left-handed delivery. He’s expected to go somewhere between rounds 12 and 20.

John Church at the University of West Florida led the Argos with a 1.55 ERA this season and can expect to see his name called today or Thursday. He should be chosen somewhere from rounds 15 through 25. Tate High grad and University of South Alabama catcher David Doss also could hear his name called today.

Pensacola Junior College catcher Robert Beary and Milton High pitcher Paul Baggett both have a legitimate chance to be drafted, but it likely won’t come until Thursday’s later rounds.

Players who choose to sign with the team that drafts them forgo their college eligibility. If a player decides to play major college baseball, they must stay for three years before being draft eligible again. They can re-enter the draft sooner if they choose to play at a junior college.

Jim Callis

It’s going to cost a lot more to sign Purke and Scheppers. Talent wise, that’s two comparable pairs of electric arms.

Wow,

the more i hear about those first two picks, the more excited i get. I dont think anyone can argue that Holland and Feliz were our two best pitching prospects going into the year. There is a possibility that both of them could lose their rookie eligibility this yr and we have already replaced their talent apparently? nice….

#7 out of Canada Jerome Werniuk, rhp, McNeil HS, Toronto
Jerome Werniuk is a hulking 6-foot-6, 220-pound righthander. Because of his size, he has difficulty repeating his delivery and his fastball is just average right now. If it all clicks for him he has a chance to be special.

Greg (Denver, CO)
Honestly- what are the odds of the Rockies signing Matzek? This seems likely to get nasty, with Matzek’s early interviews seemingly indifferent to being drafted (“I get to play 1st base at Oregon!”) and the poor-house Rockies with two other draft picks rated in the top 17 by Baseball America.

Keith Law
It’s already getting nasty. I’ve become a good bit less optimistic in the last 18 hours on that one. He and Purke are probably the least likely to sign of the first rounders.

From PG:
SCOUTING PROFILE: Blackwell has a long-limbed build with loose, easy actions and projects well. He throws from a tricky over-the-top release point, which forces him to clear his head in order to get his arm through, but his arm action is more natural than most young pitchers with his release point. He does a good job staying on line and getting over his front side on release. Blackwell’s fastball is routinely between 88-91 mph and pretty straight, but he does a solid job of spotting his fastball off the center of the plate. His out-pitch is a mid- to upper-70s curveball that has 12-to-6 shape and a hard, sharp bite that freezes hitters. Blackwell also throws an occasional sinking changeup in the mid-70s that could develop into a nice pitch for him with more use. When Blackwell is in sync with his curveball, it is a definite out-pitch, even when hitters know it is coming. Blackwell’s fastball velocity has been pretty steady for the last three years, but it’s easy to project him gaining a bit more speed when he gets stronger.-DAVID RAWNSLEY

Florida’s most complicated case is outfielder Riley Cooper, a premium athlete with tremendous speed who doubles as a wide receiver on the football team. He made little contact this spring with the bat, striking out 41 times in 89 at-bats. Cooper plans to play for Cotuit in the Cape Cod League this summer, rather than attend summer school like most football players do, so he’s likely to be a summer follow.

“He was walking down the street, the car swerved right in front of Riley,” Larry Cooper said. “The window was down about 3 inches, and Riley’s arm went inside the window.”

Larry Cooper said no punch was thrown, and that his son’s response was just a “reaction to being startled.” Wiseman said it was a “defensive move.”

Noora Alidina, the mother of Jasim, said her son did nothing wrong but declined further comment.
