Draft Power

[corkedbat]

I've always followed the NFL Draft, but have a harder time with the MLB Draft.

I really think it's important for the Reds to add some Pop to the system and start some guys with power through it. I've gone though some Mock Draft and Top prospects lists, but there seems to be a lot of movement and difference of opinion. Any additions would be welcomed too.

I put together lists of possible 3Bs and Corner OFs. I'd appreciate your comments on who might be viable choices when the Reds pick at $24 or even their 2nd pick (probably in the mid-60s by the time they finish handing out Comp Picks)
