Balta1701 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) It's no secret I get excited over young talent. But I'm not exactly going out on a limb with the Washington core. And yet...somehow, it will turn out that you are. The top of the top of the top in the draft has like a 50% success rate. The Top of the top has a 25% success rate at best. If all 3 turn out the way you're dreaming about right now, it'll be a remarkable story. It never happens that way. For anyone.

DirtySox Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I hope we get a balls crazy pick from the Cubs like last year. They have been in on toolsy bats though. Springer or Mahtook maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) Strasburg has awful mechanics. Nationals need pitching and outside of Zimmerman, they have no one that isn't a huge risk. They've got a guy named Brad Peacock who's molesting the eastern league.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Just looked at Hayden Simpson's stats for this year. Not good. Such a s*** pick then and still now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Before I get disgusted by the Red Sox buying the elite falling talent, I really hope someone else picks Josh Bell. His power potential is just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played for the Sox, you'd be noting that he's a 23 year old in AA for the 2nd year who has a career ERA in the minors of 4.14 and WHIP of 1.273 who suddenly is putting up an ERA of 2 and a WHIP of 0.79.

If he played for the White Sox he'd be our #1 prospect and future 'ace.' With Washington, he's just another guy when Strasburg gets healthy and Jordan Zimmerman in the fold. And I anticipate the Nationals being a cash cow very soon. So they'll be able to buy a pitcher if they have to. They've proven they'll spend money with the Werth signing.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 @CJNitkowski CJ Nitkowski Always fun to watch MLB draft, or as I recall it "Trick the Scouting Director Day." Nomar, Konerko, Varitek, J. Wright all picked after me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much except hes a toolsy OF. I don't remember reports on his defense though. Either him or Mahtook have questions on sticking in CF.
