Hate to speculate too much. Hopefully just bonus demands and not some sort of medical or failed drug test.

Houston could have Aiken and Reid Foley or Specer Adams or Monte Harrison. Maybe even two of them.

Just a guess, but Chavis around #14, Kopech #22 and Anderson Espinosa at #21 Yeah I might be a little high there on Kopech with his rawness and in the existing system. Speaking of how good is this system. If you pick a relatively highly thought of prep arm and he can't break your top 20 it's probably pretty good.

Can't wait to see the player Miami traded for a reliever at 39.

So we rank Chavis around 14 near Devers to start and Kopech around 18 near Mercedes or so to start.

Well let's just put him in extended spring training and then Lowell so we will have to wait awhile until we get that chance.

BA's Kopech scouting report says "The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Kopech has one of the best pitching bodies in the draft with wiry strength." Got to love wiry strength.

Come on. Maybe Vallot falls all the way to 67.

Loving this draft. Love a guy that touches 97! We finally took a small guy at 6-3.

If not Reid Foley I can see ST Louis grabbing him.

Really liked Davidson. Lets see what they have for us here instead.

Snap judgement here. Where do you think Chavis will be initially ranked? Around Rijo and Ball?

Adams is a Ga guy. Wonder if Atlanta stays home here.

OK. Harrison or Davidson. Get me a son.
Add: I'll take Vallot and his power also.

Well Manuel's final mock for BA had Reid Foley dropping to Cleveland at 31. Also nailed Chavis to Boston at 26. Had Holmes falling to Pittsburgh which was close. Has Harrison to Texas and Kopech to Atlanta and follows it up with Davidson at 33. I'll take that.

KC is building a pitching staff. Zimmer, Manaea, Finnegan, Griffin. If only they could develop them into something other than relievers.

Texas loves Harrison reportedly. Think Cin or Cle take Reid Foley?

Post by taftreign on Jun 5, 2014 20:52:40 GMT -5
Give me Harrison, Kopech, Griffin or Vallot. Or Davidson. Forgot about him somehow. Two upside bats early and almost all arms later isn't a bad strategy in this draft class.

Look Chavis can hit. I'll never bad mouth a pick who projects to be a plus hitter even if the position is somewhat in doubt. You find a spot for those kind of bats. DH will be available in a few years to get more bats in the lineup. Imagine Pedroia, Xander, Betts, and Chavis potentially hitting near the top of the order in 3 or 4 years.

Too early?

The problem is both Pittsburgh and Oakland likely take prep players. Imagine one of them takes Hill.

Fedde, Reid-Foley or Holmes,TB takes one of Zimmer or Gillaspie, and then Cleveland is a wildcard in my opinion.
