Draft! 3rd and 4th Round
A couple of guys I thought might last went before my third pick -
MCLOUTH, NATE
ROBLES, OSCAR
GORZELANNY, TOM
Was surprised Pete Orr lasted until #81.
With pick #87, the Mariners took outfielder Chris Denorfia. Unlike a lot of Reds' prospects, Denorfia doesn't figure to be a "Toolsy" guy. Hey, he's another utility guy. But, in the third round that's all I expected.
It was either Denorfia or Jonathan Braxton, who might turn out to be Eric Gange's caddy at Los Angeles. My bullpen's fine for now.
Update
Nats' fans note: Brandon Watson taken at #84.
1710 update
And, in the 4th round the Mariners snaffle 3rd baseman Jeff Baker. He's a bit of a project. All the skills are there. Baker has good hands, fields his position well and can hit for power to all fields. But, he seems injury prone. That's stymied his progress in the Colorado system. This season should see him find lots of playing time in AAA. Hope he avoids the trainer's table.
