I want Fulmer

I like this, even though he's a HSer.

 

everything i read suggested Tucker to Hou, b/c of his older brother Preston.

I want Fulmer

 

I want Fulmer and Kevin Duchene.

As an Illini, would love an Illini. Where's he projected?

 

Tyler Jay climbing the boards. Damn, there's a lot of kids named Tyler these days.

interesting reading for the top 5 in several different looks.

I highly doubt the Sox are one of these teams:

Multiple teams in the top 10 are on Cameron hard. Two scouts just texted me asking how in the world he's a 1st rounder. Call it a split camp

i don't see it as well, unless he is willing to take way below the slot money.

 

this is a ranking of the top 25 picks. i really don't know why they are not saying mack draft??

 

http://indians.scout.com/story/1542577-201...ings-1-25?s=264

 

interesting notes. Garrett Whitley, Daz Cameron, Donny Everett, Andrew Benintendi coming on strong.

 

Everett and another sp is who i have been eyeballing the last month. i was going to wait for my next stats write up to add some extra tidbits.

 

interesting on Cameron at 15 and Benintendi.

 

something just dawned on me, this morning i posted the college players stats who are interesting me for this upcoming draft. Paul DeJong, he is listed as a catcher, but they, his school have been playing him at 1b, 2b, alot of 3b now last nite rf????

 

why?? to improve his draft standing???

Who knows. But moving him around probably won't help his stock. He has 12 errors on the year, so it may be Ill. State trying to find a position he can play decently defensively so that his bat can remain in the line-up.

 

I really know nothing about the guy except the statistics I saw and he is a high-power, high-strikeout guy who doesn't have a defined position. Probably doesn't bode well for his future.

interesting point on the K's. i am going to need to follow that as well.

 

but here is another point, look at JJ Schwarz, a freshman who is making a name for him self as a hitter. he is a catcher, but his bat keeps him in the lineup. he cat's, plays 1b, dh and until recent 3b.

 

so the idea of keeping there bats in the lineup is a really good point.

 

i wonder if PJ doesn't have the skills to play cat fulltime. too bad.

No Fulmer

may 4 mock draft.

much better than that last crap they put out last month. still not sure on some picks.

What's going on with Happ? He's down to #18? I know its just a mock draft, I just thought Happ was rumored to be higher.

 

Also, I'd take Nathan Kirby over Buehler. I certainly would not complain if the Sox drafted Buehler tho.

happ is not getting no love from the pro's. i am wondering, pretty much like that kid from lsu-ss, did they have reach their peak?? that is what some are questioning.

 

i am also surprise at some of the other college hitters now peaking. right at the perfect time, to make an impression on the pro's.

 

at #8, there are so many freaking options...... which to choose. i love it. the surprise will come, as it gets closer to draft day.

Comment From Kyle

Tyler Stephenson going #1?

12:26

Kiley McDaniel: Some buzz he goes top 10 now. I’ll be seeing him in a playoff double header tomorrow. Should be interesting to see which teams are there after Dave Stewart was in last week.

 

A fast rising player no doubt.

According to Kiley, the Cubs are also attached to Kyle Tucker as well.

Too bad. Sox will nab him just before, I hope. I can dream of a future OF with he and Adolfo.

That would be fantastic. Tucker will be a building block in the minors, that the Sox can add to their developing core but the Sox have to be careful with his development like all teams do with any player.
