ML AL South (Season 7)
Nashville Stars
NEEDS: MIL is solid shortages at RP and 1B, but depth in almost all positions. a few top prospects developing nicely.
Round 1 Pick #9 Brett Sager 2B 18 HS
Solid cornr outfielder who could make a great contribution for any team. With his signability issues, he was a bit of a stretch for a top 10 pick, but his starpower is undeniable. He combines great baseball knack with speed batting eye and a clean bat.
Round 1 pick #37 Gary Saunders P 18 HS
another 1st rounder with signing issues. He will make a solid starter in a few years. he does have low stamina for a true workhouse, but he has undeniable pitching skill. Saunders combines pinpoint control with 3 solid pitches and is elite at getting lefties out
Round 1 Pick #44 Andrew Hernandez RF 22 COL
MILB 600k
He will have some difficulties driving the ball, but there is no doubt he will hit, he is an average to slighty above average OF fielder, He is not a bad late supplimental 1st round pick.
Round 2 Pick #54 Seth Delahanty 2B 20 JC
Best suited for a Platoon role vs Left Handers, He does have a great bat and good speed. He is yet to recieve a contract and might not until the Stars 2 1st rounders situation is finalized
Round 3 Pick #86 Jonathan Wheeler 1B 22 COL
SIGNED MILB 425K
great hitter, but he will struggle at times at 1B. Good all around smart ballplayer on offense. He should see some major league action in 2 years.
Round 4 Pick #118 Lyle Hamelin CF 20 JC
NOT SCOUTED ENOUGH
Round 5 Pick 150 Reginald Reagan 2B 21 COL
Better suited for the Outfield. He might struggle at 2B, He is a solid hitter with average hitter with decent power and speed, but his contract demands might put him out of financial reach.
BEST VALUE: Gary Saunders if they sign him
SUMMARY: They took a risk on some questionable players who may never sign. they might have blown thier collection of 1st round tickets. The jury is out of the final impact of this draft
GRADE: D
NEEDS: CF is the only position lacking true depth, they mostly just need to upgrade positions
Round 1 Pick #8 Kiki Arroyo P 20 JC
SIGNED MILB 3.35M
NEEDS : The Chickens have one of the best Minor League systems in the league. They just need to add depth and improve. CF is probably the weakest position
Round 1 Pick #27 Scott Butler RF 21 COL
MILB 1.57M
Should make a solid RF, he might strikeout alot but he should offer his share of hits and home runs. he is a smart batter who can run the bases with his limited speed.
Round 2 Pick #72 Bobby Ray Clark 2B 18 HC
MILB 550k
Another player who will strikeout alot but can drive the ball when he gets a hold of it. his speed and bunting ability make him a good role player for most teams
Round 3 Pick #104 Teddy Holliday 2B 21 COL
MILB 425K
Light hitting speeder, he can put the ball in play and offer a strong glove in the field. He is almost ready to break the majors now.
Round 4 Pick 136 Max Marshall LF 18 HS
NOT SCOUTED WELL ENOUGH
Round 5 Pick 168 Sherman Daniels P 20 JC
MILB 250K
Offers little as a major league pitcher he is eons away from offering anything that will make him a solid starter. bad right/left split and poor pitch selection
Best Bargain: Scott Butler
SUMMARY: A couple of good picks for the outfield, but they added nothing in pitching with the selections made. maybe the Chicken's see something I don't
GRADE: B-
NEEDS: the Stampede are hurting at 3B and and CF, they are also very light of pitching
Round 1 Pick #4 Max Mills SS 18 HS
Not Scouted
Round 2 Pick 29 Nolan Webber SS 20 JC
MILB 550K
Definetely not a SS, he is best suited for 3B or a corner OF position. he offers average hitting with a good plate presence. He not going to steal many bases and might only see the majors in light duty.
Round 3 Pick 81 Dick Poppell LF 21 COL
NOT SCOUTED. Has signabilty issues
Round 4 Pick 113 Bobby Woods P 18 HS
MILB 350k
poor pitches might keep him from being a star, but he has the skills to compete at the pro level. He is still a long ways away.
Round 5 Pick 145 Paulie Hodges 3B 18 HS
MILB 250k
Very solid 5th rounder, he is a solid hitting prospect who can lend a glove in the field. he has some pop and above average speed. At 18 he has alot of growing to do
Best Bargain: Paulie Hodges
Summary: Although they pursued a few prospects at skilled positions they are still very short, The team also ignored its pitching problems

Round 1 Pick #8 Kiki Arroyo P 20 JC
SIGNED MILB 3.35M
Almost a polished product. Kiki has 2 greatpitches to go with good control and solid right/ left splits. He is burner and will be in the top 10 of strikeouts when he gets his shot
Round 1 Pick #43 Scott Fonville SS 18 HS
Solid SS not spectacular, but does have a decent bat and intangables. Signing him is questionable.
Round 2 Pick #53 Fausto Solano 2B 22 COL
SIGNED 550K
Good fielder with a decent bat. his speed and intangibles make him a good value as a bench player at the very least in the majors
Round 3 Pick #85 Kenny Kerr P 19 JC
2 real pitches and poor splits are going to make it tough for him to excell out of the minors, but he will put up good innings and be a great MILB player for awhile. still unsigned
Round 4 Pick #117 Junior Cruz CF 18 HS
NOT SCOUTED
Round 5 Pick #149 Lance Hardy P 22 COL
SIGNED 250K
Anouther bad split pitcher he will also eat the innings in the minors, but not make an impact for a pro team.
BEST VALUE: Kiki Arroyo
Summary: They did not get much after Kiki in the pitching department. The cajuns did find a few solid fielders, but after Kiki no real impact type players. They still have a Hole at CF.
