June 4, 20196 yr Author Maverick Handley C, Stanford has interesting writeups too http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=208106 Low k rate, near 1:1 k to walk rate Fangraphs An athletic backstop with a broad base of skills to match where the game is going. BA Maverick Handley StanfordC Notes: Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 195 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Handley is a 5-foot-11, 205-pound catcher who puts up excellent on-base percentages and knows the strike zone well. While he hits for very little power, he has maintained a walk rate in the double-digits each season in the Pac-12, with an 11.6 percent walk rate this spring through 49 games. Handley struggled with the bat last summer in the Cape Cod League, going 26-for-103 (.252), but again got on base at a respectable clip (.361). Handley is an above-average defender behind the plate and has high baseball IQ and plays with great energy. He’s a natural leader and handles the staff well, with good receiving and blocking ability. He threw out ten of the first 15 runners (66.6 percent) who attempted to steal against him this spring. Handley will have to handle himself with the bat better against pitchers who are more capable of challenging him in the zone at the next level, but his defensive skills could carry him either way.

They are all over the place across different publications. BA and Fangraphs are hiher on brewer. There won't be that much diff between 3rd and fourth round aside from if we don't get a top 100 HS guy in 3rd unlikely we get much more than your guys like last year with Weaver/Delgado.

Coop will have a 15 year career as a backup catcher. Milas may be the most athletic catcher in the draft but had an awful spring. Mass is my guy.
June 4, 20196 yr Author Last one in before we start. I like this guy's writeup Michael Curialle JSerra Catholic HS, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.SS Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 198 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: UCLA Scouting Report: Curialle followed Chase Strumpf and Royce Lewis as the starting shortstop at JSerra High School and led the Lions to consecutive Boras Classic South tournament championships the last two seasons. This spring, he finished one hit shy of tying Lewis’ school single-season hits record. Curialle is an impressive blend of physicality and athleticism. He’s strong and broad-chested at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and has big raw power, but he’s also a plus runner who glides around the infield remarkably well. He makes all the plays at shortstop and also has the athleticism for center field and third base. Curialle’s best tool is his plus-plus arm. He makes every throw from deep in the hole, cuts down runners on long relays and has touched 93 mph on the mound despite little pitching experience. Curialle swings and misses a bit too much, which is what prevents him from being a potential first-rounder, but he has the tools to project as an average or better hitter. A potential five-tool talent, Curialle is committed to UCLA and will command a hefty signing bonus.

June 4, 20196 yr MLB: Day 2 starts at 12:30 PM. Also MLB: But not picks. No, we're going to recap Day 1, interview a Twins draft pick and drag on some more before getting right to the picks again. Dear God they are bad at presenting this.
June 4, 20196 yr @bmags you've been killing it with the draft analysis and profiles (and moderation, I would assume), thank you
June 4, 20196 yr I will let the experts chime in here...and react accordingly. Edited June 4, 20196 yr by EloyJenkins im dumb
June 4, 20196 yr Harold Reynolds (probably) stupidly talked about this dude ad nauseum. AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAHOMES AGAIN.

Want the Sox to draft him so bad. Gold glove caliber at 2B and a good left handed bat

June 4, 20196 yr The entire NBA second round would be done by now, including interviewing and profiling every single player.
June 4, 20196 yr Any chance the Sox take a chance on Song or Hampton, knowing they may be difficult signs?
