You can see where he must have risen in their estimation - a bit of helium at the tail end of the year

Well - there's the 3B, now all we need is a 1B and 2B for a complete team.
Nats take our old friend Stephen Perez. Glad we didn't give him big money out of HS in hindsight.
Go BLUE!!!
Yeah, college didn't do him any favorsOriginally Posted by Benihana
Seth, welcome to Dayton. Third base is waiting for you.
Seth looks like a slick glove at third. The question will be can he hit? Kinda like a 3rd base version of Zach Cozart
4 pitchers in 10 picks. You can tell they think the position players in the farm are thin, either that or they think the pitchers available in this draft are underwhelming.
Interesting pick with Majias-Brean.... apparently is an incredibly athlete and puts on shows in batting practice with his power. Strange that given his BP shows, he hit all of 2 home runs in three years of college.
LOL. Thanks for the name correction. I slaughtered another name.
LJ Mazilli to the Twins
fairly poor year hurt his draft posiition
Here's an excerpt that tells you what Doug is referring to about Brean being a superb athlete:
Seth Mejias-Brean's stellar junior season has inevitably led to comparisons - but not to other baseball players.
To hear the Arizona Wildcats third baseman's teammates tell it, Mejias-Brean is a cross between Paul Bunyan and Chuck Norris, with a little Roy Hobbs mixed in.
Hand the UA's starting third baseman a football, and he'll throw it 60 or 70 yards.
"They call him Tebow," coach Andy Lopez said.
Give Mejias-Brean a basketball, and he'll show off a 360-degree slam dunk.
"He's just a freak," outfielder Robert Refsnyder said.
But Mejias-Brean is at his best with a bat in his hands. His batting practice sessions are legendary, complete with towering home runs and crushed line drives that send teammates dodging.
At 6 feet 2 inches and 210 pounds, the Cienega High graduate fills out a uniform better than anybody on the team. Pro scouts love his projectability, whether it's at third base, in the outfield or at catcher - a position he's never played before.
"I mean, look at his body," shortstop Alex Mejia said. "You can see him playing in the big leagues, like, next year.
"I've never seen a player like him. When he hits it, and the ball's flying out, it's hit so hard. ... Really, it's almost like the thing is yelling."
