    2010 MLB draft

    With the Reds fighting for a top 5 pick this season, we might as well get some talk going on this subject...

    Early word is that there's good talent at the top next year.

    In the next 10 months all of these rankings will likely change a few times. My preference is for a starting pitcher.

    I see OSU's Alex Wimmers gets a mention. He went to Moeller and his dad's family was in our parish (his aunt was in my class, I think his dad was a year ahead of me).

    A pitcher with "smooth mechanics" that's also a somewhat local guy? Sounds good to me.

    Re: 2010 MLB draft

    I like the size of Ranaudo, Pomerantz & Taillon. Ranaudo's still fairly young and has big game experience. Pomerantz is a colloege lefty which would be nice. Tallion has a big arm for a 17-year old.

    If they go with a bat, I like Brentz, but I'd rather see them come out of the draft with a TOR starter.

    top pitchers taken by the Reds in the Draft I think I would pass, The Reds have no luck or skill to develop these guys so go with the big stick.

    I didn't realize Wimmers was that good, I saw him pitch a few times (he went to my high school) and never struck me as a great pitcher but he's been doing very well at OSU from what I've heard.

    Ol Bobby better be ready to shell out the $$$

    because it's gonna take several million to sign a Top 5er next year. If the Reds really are gonna lose 15 million this season, I can't believe they'll continue to shell out money for youngsters much longer. They need to start winning now, and that build from within, for the future plan will be going bye-bye for the win now, so I can make money to cover my losses plan.

    That's one of the reasons that I prefer a college arm because most of the development has already been done.

    I watched him no-hit that school up north and he automatically became my #1 choice for next years draft
