Run on catchers!
Coulter to Milwaukee. Decent pick. Should stick at catcher and good power. Don't like it for the Reds sake though. Good player.
Clint Coulter (a catcher-y name) is from just across the river in Camas, Washington. I wasn't aware much but suburbs and pot grew there.
Usually PNW players go to college, with Oregon State being the prime program. Not a lot of high HS picks out of this region. I guess Tampa got a couple of position players last year.
Only five players actually came to the draft? Jeez. Coulter flew 3,000+ miles to get picked #27.
Bye-bye Roache
There goes Roache.
Still hoping for Gallo, Barnes or Piscotty at 49.
Go BLUE!!!
Well, Roache goes to the Brewers. They had a good first round.
Crew also gets Victor Roache, OF, Georgia Southern. Dude hit thirty homers in a season as a sophomore. Listed as 6'1", 230#. Hmm, chunky.
Just for fun, I decided to take a stab at what the 2017 squad could look like if the Reds don't extend anyone's contracts. Obviously, there are a bunch of prospects that are left out (Yorman Rodriguez, Juan Duran, Ismael Guillon, etc.), but as "weak" as people sometimes say the system is, I don't think it's in all that bad of shape.
