    So anyone thinking Gibson or Scheppers will drop to the supp. round
    No chance either one gets to the Reds at 43.

    That's what I'm hoping for. That would totally make up for passing on Crow and Matzek IMO

    Hard to tell right now. Seems to be alot of reaches for signability. One but not both could make it. But doesnt mean the Reds would take the risk when all the other teams passed.

    I would be surprised if Scheppers or Gibson make it past the Red Sox or Yankees.

    Correct me if I am wrong but two of the most prominant ground/sinker ball pitcher don't have electric stuff. Both Webb and Lowe keep the ball down and batters hammer it into the ground.

    IMO this draft pick was based upon development and also the stadium the Reds play in.

    IIRC, after the first round, teams only have one minute to make their pick.

    From the Reds Twitter page:

    Later tonight, listen to top draft pick RHP Mike Leake on 700 WLW Radio and during the FOX Sports Ohio game broadcast.

    OBM...

    What do you think Leake will want for signing bonus? Much above slot?

    Also you think he will be at AA or A+ to start?

    Not sure about the money. My guess is slot.

    He should probably start at High-A. Who knows though, he may start at Dayton.

    Houston Astros take Giovanni Mier (SS, Bonita HS) with the 21st overall pick

    Sucks...I was hoping the Reds might be able to snag him later. I think he's a reach at the 21st pick though.

    Astros take Jiovanny Mier, SS. Dang. I was hoping he would fall to the supplemental round.
