Re: Reds Select...
With Matzek on the board I think this was a bad pick. Have a chance to get a lefty who throws in the upper 90s and you pass. Can't say I'm a fan.

Re: Reds Select...
I wasn't impressed with the things they said about him. They said he has a few average to above average pitches. They did say Seattle even considered him at the 2nd pick, but I thought they made him sound pretty ordinary.

Re: Reds Select...
They say they dont draft to sign ability but this pick shows they do. Leake probably doesnt o int he first round of the Reds dont take him there. They pick a 2nd round guy to pay 1st round money to. I just dont get this pick. Matzek, Crow, are just 2 name that should have been selected before Leake. But I guess we have to get used to this being a reds fan. Afraid of agents so lets not take the best talent out there.

I'm a bit surprised though. Seems like they drafted a #3 - #5 starter. Okay if he becomes at least that, but really was hoping for more like a #2....... |

Re: Reds Select...
Well usually, with a #1 pick, you're shooting for an ace.
At least, that's what you'd think... |

Re: Reds Select...
Have any of you actually even seen the kid pitch? I have several times, and I was pleasantly surprised by this pick. Yes, he is a middle of the rotation starter but he is almost guaranteed to contribute to the big club, and to do so in a hurry. He does not miss his spots, period. The guy has better control than almost any college pitcher I've seen this year.
