2011 Draft Update

[TOBTTReds]

Since a lot of people get excited about the draft, then forget about them the following year, I thought I'd give a "one year since" update. I mostly did it for myself, but you got lucky enough for me to share.

To make it shorter, I took out where they are from and school, but added what level they got drafted from. My info on them is shorter than a tweet and strictly meant as a super short update.

HS = High School
4Y = Four year college (like Rice)
JC = Junior College

Great update, thanks

[powersackers]

Good stuff. Would be fun to see it for 2010 too.

Leo Kemp seems to be going by Ryan Kemp. Is in low A where he is posting a 2.78 ERA and 3 saves in 32 IP over 22 relief appearances.

Good call. Leo Ryan Kemp. Stealing your recap.

Can't edit the original post. But here are two edits.


14 445 Leo Kemp 4Y - RHP - Is in low A where he is posting a 2.78 ERA and 3 saves in 32 IP over 22 relief appearances.
15 475 Joseph Dorton HS - RHP Lugoff-Elgin HS, Lugoff, S.C. S.C. Unsigned

Thanks for doing this--I always enjoy keeping track of these sort of things. Here's a couple notes:

27 835 Taylor Wrenn 4Y - 2B Assume he’s either cut or in extended. We’ll find out by next weekend. Anyone have info?

Wrenn's father is a scout for the Diamondbacks who is known for his speed and defense at shortstop. After being drafted by the Red for the second time, he signed last July and is expected to make his debut this year. He's in EST.

36 1105 Randy Yard 4Y - RHP I have nothing on this Hawaii product. But I do think he signed according to RZ

Yes, he signed, but he was also the first player from the draft to be cut by the Reds.

43 1315 Ty Washington HS - SS I believe he signed. A small 18 year old, guessing in Extended

Yes, he signed an above-slot deal ($300,000). Still just 18, he's in EST.

15 475 Joseph Dorton HS - RHP Lugoff-Elgin HS, Lugoff, S.C. S.C. Unsigned

Yesterday I couldn't find anything on what this kid did this season, but finally found him. He pitched for the College of Charleston this year, but he's shown as "Will Dorton" on their site. He had some "lingering arm issues," he was redshirted this season. He's going to play in a college league this summer.

I'm going to give myself a star for sleuthing this one out. I thought maybe he'd gone into the witness protection program.

This is an interesting Q&A with some college coaches about players who didn't sign, instead coming to college. The College of Charleston coach is one of those interviewed. Besides Dorton, 17th round pick Morgan Phillips also turned down "six figures" from the Reds and went to C of C for school. Not Reds related, but they comment on one of their players coming back after being drafted in '11 (49th round). He moved up to the 8th round this year.

Jacob Stallings (42nd rd, 2011) went to the Pirates this year with their 7th round pick.
