Crow 'flashes three plus pitches' which means that he has a plus fastball and two pitches with potential.

I just don't see bad mechanics when I look at Crow. There's no recoil, his elbow comes through in a good position, he doesn't throw across his body. Just don't see it. A little unorthodox in his rhythm, but it looks fine to me mechanically.

As I stated, I definitely wouldn't mind taking Crow, but I think you take the more sure Smoak or Beckham unless you prefer, a term I usually use for NFL draft prospects which I am a guru in, a boom or bust prospect like Crow.

I'd still like the REDS to take Big Ten Pitcher-of-the-Year RHP Zach Putnam:
Putnam collects the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year award after going undefeated on the mound during the regular season. In 10 starts, the junior righty is 7-0 with six wins coming in league action. Putnam had back-to-back 12-strikeout outings to open Big Ten play and is tied for fourth in the conference with 65 overall K's this year.
Note that Zach Putnam was also 1st Team Big-Ten DH this year.

Give me Smoak or give me death. Absolutely ripped and Switch hitter. We need a safe pick this time. Smoak or Beckham.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
Nice call. But the stuff is much better.The delivery kind of reminds me of Todd Coffey.
