Re: The Official (First) Draft Day Thread - 2010
Not my favorite pick, but it's definitely not a disappointing pick. I'm satisfied.

Re: The Official (First) Draft Day Thread - 2010
Catcher, Miami
Born July 18, 1989> Draft Day Age=20.9 Ht/Wt... 6-2/210, Bats Switch / Throws Right Composite Review... Grandal's value is automatically high because of three magic words: Switch-hitting catcher. The youngster from Miami has good raw power, another facet of his game that will aide his rising stock. He has more of it from the left side, but there are questions about his mechanics. From the right side, there are concerns about his bat speed and follow-through. Defensively, he is solid if not spectacular. He is hardly regarded as a fast runner, but his quick feet will allow him to make necessary movements behind the plate. His skills will continue to improve, a necessity given the fact that he is expected to move through the minor leagues quickly. But make no mistake – it is his hitting that has scouts excited, and his hitting that will tell how much success he has in the pros. --Michael Seff |

Hopefully the Reds can get him to sign his bonus demands scare me a bit.

Not bad at all. I liked Brentz but I'm fine with Grandal.

Re: The Official (First) Draft Day Thread - 2010
Where does that leave Mes? Seems like they're going to be in similar places developmentally moving in to 2011.

Re: The Official (First) Draft Day Thread - 2010
Tough sign, but if they don't sign him and take the pick next year, I'm OK with that.
Wonder if this ends the Soto experiment?
