Your list: 2010 Draft

It is put up, and shut up time again. I hate reading the I told you so posts after the draft, with nothing to back it up. Make your list of players you want the Reds to draft, and those you don't. Please refrain from those players obviously off the board.

Those I want the Reds to draft.
Brentz
Choice
Wimmers
Whitson
Allie
Vitek

Those I don't want them to draft
McGuire (nothing plus about the guy)
Colon (I don't think he is a SS)
edit: Brown and Eibner

Re: Your list: 2010 Draft

My wish list:

Nick Castellanos
Chris Sale
Bryce Brentz

If all three of them are taken then choose from this group:

Yasmani Grandal, Josh Sale, Michael Choice, Deck McGuire, Christian Colon, Alex Wimmers, Karston Whitson. Edited to add Matt Harvey to this list.

Guys who have been connected to Reds that I do not want:

Gary Brown
Brett Eibner

Nothing against those guys, I would be thrilled if they fell to the Reds in the second round but I do want them with the No. 12 overall pick.

Re: Your list: 2010 Draft

I would say my #1 choice would be Grandal, but news reports today say that the Royals have agreed to a pre-draft deal with him so he'll be long gone at 12.

Here are my preferred choices for the Reds selection

Bats
Nick Castellanos
Justin O'Conner
Josh Sale

Arms
Matt Harvey
Alex Wimmers

In the 2nd round, I'd dance a jig if someone like Yordy Cabrera or Tyrell Jenkins fell to them, but that's pretty unlikely.

At 62, I hope Buckley is focusing in on someone like Drew Cisco or David Filak.

Re: Your list: 2010 Draft

I still think Austin Wilson is going to be a perennial All Star. Right now he stands at 6'4'' but only 215 lbs. -- the dude is going to add an easy 20-25 lbs to that frame when it's all said and done. Not to mentioned the kid is extremely smart and came from a great family. I don't care if he'll be considered a "reach" at the time of our pick...I want him!

Re: Your list: 2010 Draft

1. Brentz
2. Cox
3. Vitek
4. Sale

Bats, bats, bats.

There are no solid pitchers beyond those that will already be gone (Renaudo, Pomeranz, and Tallion).

I wouldn't be too upset if the Reds drafted Wilson at No. 12. He's not near the top of my list but he wouldn't be a bad pick either.

Re: Your list: 2010 Draft

My list in order of preference of those I expect to be there or go right in our area:

HS 3B Nick Castellanos
HS C/SS/3B Justin O'Connor
College OF Bryce Brentz
HS RHP Karsten Whitson
College SS/2B Christian Colon

Not sure there is anyone else I'd really, really like to take right here though several who I'd be ok with. Wimmers, McGuire etc., etc. are solid though unspectacular types that I'd live with but will be disappointed that we passed on guys like Castellanos. I don't expect to be disgruntled about passing on O'Connor because I seem to be in a bit of a minority on where he ranks and so I don't at all expect him to be a consideration for the Reds but I wish he was I think he is undervalued. As far as guys that they could take that I would hate to see Gary Brown comes to mind and Grandal who seemingly won't be there anyhow.
