Lower ceiling, as Reilly succeeds more on the basis of command and movement than velocity, but a guy who will probably reach the majors, which is more than you can say about most 7th-rounders. He could move quickly through the system. I REALLY want the sox to draft fenway parks We've noticed...

www.bbprospectreport.com/2013/05/24/reed-reilly-video"He’s got a chance to pitch with the 91-92 fastball, which flashes tail and sink. His fastball has heavy sink and that’ll be his best friend at the next level. This is a ground ball pitcher, not a power arm. Flashes an average change-up at 82-83 and potentially average slider. "

BA bio:
Moore has value as a consistent three-year producer in the Southeastern Conference, though he is also a righthanded-hitting college corner outfielder profile without notable secondary skills. So some scouts see him more as a senior sign for next year, while others like his production (.304/.371/.470 in his career) in the top 10 rounds. He has advanced bat-to-balls skills with a career strikeout rate of 9 percent, while walking at an 8 percent clip. The knock against him is that he hasn’t hit well on Fridays (against teams' best starters) and doesn’t make much in the way of impact contact (.317 BABIP). The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder projects to be an average defender in the outfield corners after catching in the early part of his career.

He could move quickly through the system. I REALLY want the sox to draft fenway parks I wonder what your reaction will be when he's drafted by the MFY?

Ockimey looks like a good athlete from the video clips He's doing every bit of it with his arms and wrists. He's already planted his feet and rotated his hips before the bat ever comes through the zone. That's what will have to change. Not impossible, but he's probably done it that way a long time.

I thought his swing was very sloppy, but he has strength.

Jack Baker, Otis Foster, Rocky Alburtis, Dave Koza... I could name more. They just got to work on this young man's swing and attempt to fix it as many have stated and the FO knows, or he'll end up as another listed above.

The last two-sport athlete, high upside HS the Red Sox picked from Tennessee worked out just fine.

It's always nice when a young kid with minimal experience can repeat his delivery like that. Nice pick, some upside there it seems.

What do you mean by "projectable" arm.

Last year the Red Sox drafted basically all high upside, various level of signibility from Rounds 10-25. I expect them to be aggressive again. Take a handful of kids and see who will turn down the extra $$ to sign.
While there haven't been many extreme underslot guys I think the Sox save $ in the 4th-9th Round. And Travis, Cosart won't be above slot.
