I went with Heisey again. I think he projects as a solid all-around major leaguer, similar to a Shane Victorino or Randy Winn type of player.
The first seven were fairly easy, after this it's going to get tough, IMO.
Heisey again. I continue to beat the drum for a Stubbs/Heisey 1-2 in the batting order.....OBP, speed, and enough power to keep pitchers honest.
I went with Cozart - he has the skills to be a ML SS someday. The sad situation is that we only have 4 good-to-excellent prospects (the first four listed) and of those I am only really comfortable with the potential of the top 2. Its too depressing for me to put a fourth OFer (Heisey) and a Starting pitcher with a below average breaking pitch (Wood) deep in the Reds top 10.

I feel like I'm supporting the Green candidate here, I'm sticking with 6'4" lefty Matt Maloney who strikes out just under a batter per inning and walks batters 5 times less than that. This future #4 with excellent command is worth more in my eyes than future #4 outfielder, 24 year old Chris Heisey.
Maloney is most ready now, which actually counts for something in my book. He's proven the most and he's now a MLB prospect.
Heisey again. It seems like he should run away with this pick.
Heisey again.
I hear you. ML quality defense at SS goes a long, long way (despite the inordinate amount of errors this past season). Still, Heisey displayed exceptional OB abilities plus power at the plate, to go with his prowess on defense at CF. Hell, he's still doing it out in Arizona. Gotta go with him here, IMO.
does this one get called early for the mercy rule? lol

I'd like to see Ondrusek available soon please.

Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
SecondedI'd like to see Ondrusek available soon please.
I honestly have no idea who to vote for after Heisey...
