Montreal Money Shots Needs from the draft: 1: CF 2 2B 3: RP 1 16 P 21 $2,600K 3 average pitches and poor right handed split but strong against left handers. Amaro was a reach in the first round and might never make a big impact in the majors 2 59 P 21 $550K 2 strong pitches with good splits and control, make him a bottom of the rotation type, but he is not going to win many awards for his work, 3 91 P 20 $400K Weak armed knuckleballer his pitches and splits are average to below average. Prior will burn the innings in the minors 4 123 P 22 $350K Below average splits but Uribe has good control and stamina he might only burn minor league innings 5 155 P 18 --- 8 million for a solid pitcher with good splits and control and 3 good pitches, but he ain't signing Summary: 1 or 2 Pitchers who have potential is not good enough. Their biggest needs were skill positions of Center and 2B and they drafted no viable prospects for either position Grade: D 2 67 1B 18 $526K Clean hitting 1B he has the skills to hit with power and average and the ability to field first cleanly. He is not fast and has poor baseball fundamentals. 3 99 1B 20 $410K All bat poor fielding DH. He might be able to fill in at 1B, but he is liability in the field. He has awesome power and will hit for a high average. 4 131 RP 19 $320K All around average reliever his splits will probably keep him out of the majors, but he does have 2 good pitches and great control. 5 163 RP 19 $220K Solid long reliever with 2 good pitches, great control and above average splits. He could fill out a major league roster in a few years Summary: Picked up 2 relievers and a few sluggers, but no one that is going to field clean enough to cover the outfield. The Sluggers they did draft will serve better on an AL team Grade: B- 1 8 1B 18 $3,850K Monster power hitter with good all-around hitting numbers, his defense will limit him in the NL, but he can play 1B and will for many years to come for the Warbirds. 1 42 P 19 $640K Solid reliever with 2 good pitches, good durability and great control. He will be in someone's bullpen in the future. Definitely a guy you want taking the rock late in a game 2 51 SS 19 --- Determined to finish out his college career he probably will never see a Warbird uniform. AT 7.5M to sign…..good luck in college! 3 83 2B 20 $425K Good power hitting LF/RF. He will be hitting many ML homeruns; his power is a good thing because he doesn't have the speed to make up for it. 4 115 RF 18 $350K Good power hitter with power, but poor right/left splits. For a 4th rounder he is quite good and could make some major league bats in the near future. 5 147 P 19 --- NO INFORMATION Summary: did not address their biggest 2 needs a solid catcher and a starting 3B. They did pick up an elite 1B for the future and an excellent reliever along with a number of ML caliber sluggers. Grade: B+
Needs from the draft: 1: 3B 2 C 3: RP
1 10 LF 18 --- Super slugger with a golden arm for the outfield. His power combined with his speed and base runner will make him valuable IF he signs. He is still considering College. 2 53 CF 18 $550K Speedy defensive specialist with pop in his bat. He will anchor a good defensive outfield he as below average contact so he isn't going to hit for a high average, but he will hold his own. 3 85 P 21 $425K 2 plus pitches with a mediocre 3rd pitch make henry interesting he has starter stamina and average control, What makes his interesting is great left/right pitching splits. He should finish out the Blues rotation for many years 4 117 P 21 $350K Average ML pitcher with 2 pitches, could be a decent long reliever or mop-up. He isn't going to dominate much but is good enough to make the league someday 5 149 P 19 Career Minor Leaguer. He will eat those pesky minor league innings Summary: Did a good job addressing their needs by picking up a couple starting pitchers and a good CF. The Blues also picked up a dominant RF with their 1st pick. Overall they got their cake and a side of ice cream as well. Grade: A-
