OSU Beaver #2: C Mitch Canham. Supposedly can hit, and bats lefthanded.
I'm older then Lotzkar.
Wow.
Signability matters if the kid is willing to go to college or play for an independent league for awhile. If there is a real threat he will go to college , like Sowers, or play for an independent team, it matters.
Major league team should be able to pay a player what he is worth on the open market. But if there is a serious risk of a no-sign situation, that's a problem.

The good news is, Billings will be a step up in weather from Canada.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

Can someone find me some Devin Mesoraco stats?
Wow, three picks and no warm-weather guys...guess the Reds don't buy into the conventional wisdom that guys who can play year-round have an edge.
