I think his size is the reason they peg him as a reliever, only 6' tall and a bit slight of frame

We'll find out if he's the Beale deal.
Not opposed to relievers at this stage in the game. Maybe he pulls a Cingrani too and gets a shot as a starter?

His dad, Paul Langfield, played minor league ball in the early '80s. Low A and high A is as far as he went.
That always helps - usually means good solid coaching growing up

Mooneyham goes to the Nats at #111. It is freaking UNBELIEVABLE how they always do what I would have done in the draft. It's like their scouting director is my doppleganger.
Jays take Alford. If anyone can sign him, they can but it's still unlikely. Good risk/reward in the third round.
Go BLUE!!!
Reds just drafted Sam LeCure's replacement, I think.

All I hope is that the Reds can sign all 5 of these first picks and I'll be ecstatic
I'd be surprised if the Reds don't sign all five of these guys.
Go BLUE!!!
I'm mostly worried about Winker and Rahier
Maybe I'm just a worry-wart
