It’s 100% that Lucas giolito forgets how to operate his body like every 20 minutes.

Giolito has become Danny Wright if Danny Wright pitched 89 mph and was worse.

We drafted Mike Lowell?

I know I love my two strike pitch to be a 96 mph fastball down the middle.

This is my interpretation.

the Only bullpen pitcher we should ever use is Fry.

Sounds like we needed to pay the high schoolers last two picks.

yeah he's a definite cheapie, nice slashline his senior year for sure.

you can't hide that face behind a mask!

Montas de Oca to the Mets ... The...perfect landing spot for a ...oft-injured pitcher.

Gunnar Troutwine is our first pick without a BA500 profile.

These are just generated names at this point.

Pipkin, Dominic ^ Sounds like the bureaucratic boss in a british spy novel

He had a tough go of it, but he's a senior now. Not much to lose.

He had a good year and I figured as a senior he would round out a top ten with signability. Him not being drafted yet makes me think he's asking too much.

Interesting Montas de Oca hasn't been drafted. I wonder how much over 100k he'll get (if any)

Nootbaar, Lars ^Quality name dept.

Good scoop.

Perez South Florida’s closer, Perez has posted a 2.65 ERA in 34 innings this season and been seen regularly thanks to the presence of highly-touted lefthander Shane McClanahan. Perez is a talented southpaw in his own right, though he’s definitely a relief arm whereas McClanahan only might be. The 6-foot-1, 217-pound lefty throws a fastball that has been up to 95 regularly towards the end of the season, sitting in the 93-94 mph range in one inning starts and dropping down to 91-92 if he throws multiple innings. Perez’ breaking ball has also improved this spring, though it’s still just an average, 75-81 mph hard slurve, though Perez dubs it a slider. Perez could go in the latter half of the top 10 rounds thanks to a strikeout rate that’s been higher than 10 batters per nine innings each year in the American Athletic Conference and a significantly improved walk rate this spring.

Love the weaver pick. Of the tools available, getting lucky on speed or velo in rounds 6-10 is great, especially on a prep pick. Really happy. Not expecting much, but the nice thing about prep is you don't have to worry about getting them on a rushed dev track. He can take his time in AZ and GF and move up when he's making progress.

My favorite part about these rounds is how excited I am now and how little I'll care in one month about any of these players.

Not yet.

Codi Heur, meh. Probably bullpen: School: Wichita State Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 195 | B-T: R-R | Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: No one bit on drafting Heuer as a draft-eligible sophomore last year, but that should change this year after he posted a solid season as the Shockers' Friday night starter. Hitters get a good look at the ball as Heuer has a long arm action, but he carries his 92-93 mph velocity easily through starts and generally has 94-96 mph available whenever he needs it. Both his slider and changeup are below-average pitches right now, so a team drafting Heuer will either need to help him improve his secondaries or move him to the bullpen, where all of his stuff would likely play up.

Round 6 coming up.

So we goin Owen Sharts for round 6?
