Needs from the draft: 1: CF 2 SP 3: 3B 1 21 P 22 $2,130K Huge reach for the 1st round. He has good control and good split, but average durability and low stamina. He will be interesting to watch to see what happens 2 64 P 18 $550K Another big reach that could have fallen later. He has good splits and control but has only 1 plus pitch along with 2 below average pitches. His durability is critically low for a reliever with his stamina. 3 96 P 18 --- Unknown Information 4 128 1B 21 $350K Average 1B with fleeting power and splits. He is not fast and he's not overly good at much. Probably an injury replacement in his first ML action 5 160 C 19 $250K Decent backup catcher he will not hurt you behind the dish, but he does not offer a lot of skills to make him a starter anytime soon. Summary:
Grade: D
Needs from the draft: 1: SP 2 RP 3: RF 1 12 2B 22 $2,970K Solid hitter with pop who fields his position well and offers above average speed. He is very polished and could cruise through the minors quickly 2 55 3B 20 $550K Strong armed 3rd sacker. Leiter he's the ball well and has great splits, but is an average hitter. Also very polished and almost ready 3 87 C 22 $425K Good hitter but he might be a poor defensive catcher. Weak arm matched with low range makes him a liability late in games. He does have a smooth swing and should hit lefties well. 4 119 CF 22 --- Not scouted well enough 5 151 3B 22 $250K He is a weak hitting average defender. He could see some time as an injury replacement or a position filler, but he will not make a dent in the record books Summary:
Grade: C-
Needs from the draft: 1: CF 2 C 3: Best Available 1 11 C 18 --- Slap hitting catcher with no range but good pitch calling and arm make him a good risk late in the 1st round, but a bit of a reach with the 11th pick. He will be a good hitter and is already pretty polished, but has big signing issues 4 118 P 22 $350K Career minor league pitcher with poor splits and 2 above average pitches. He is not going to do much above AA 5 150 P 22 --- Another career minor leaguer this one with poor splits and 1 above average pitch Summary:
Grade: D
Wichita Sizzlers
Needs from the draft: 1: C 2 Best Available 3: Best Available 1 29 RP 21 $1,380K Safe pick but still a reach in the 1st round. He has good splits and control and 2 above average plus 1 average pitch but below average durability for a reliever 1 34 P 19 $960K Solid middle of the rotation type pitcher. Good right/left splits and stamina and control mark a pitcher with 4 above average to average pitches. 1 36 P 20 $880K 3 plus pitches compliment a pitcher with good stamina, but below average control. He will struggle at times in the major leagues when he arrives 2 54 SS 18 $550K Defensively better suited at 3B or in the outfield at right or left. Efrain is a great hitter with little pop in his swing; he will not make many fundamental mistakes. 2 56 2B 20 $550K Average hitter who can field his position well. His speed and base running will give him a good number of stolen bases, but his mediocre hitting might find him struggling to keep a job. 2 72 P 19 $550K Nice find in the 2nd round. Olson has 4 plus pitches to match above average splits and average control. He could contribute much to a team's rotation in a few years 3 104 P 19 $425K A work in progress wild thing here lacks control and stamina to be an efficient reliever in the majors; he has the pitches if the rest can come together. 4 136 C 20 $350K Might develop into a role catcher for the pro club but he is average in almost all rating areas, he probably will make little impact in this league 5 168 P 22 $250K Another wild reliever who has excellent rated split set, he also has 3 plus pitches and average durability. It will be interesting to see how he ends up. Summary:
Grade: B
