Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
I like the way the ball jumps off his bat. HS kid, but I like having a fresh corner OF bat in the system.

Ron Cey.....underrated 3B for those hated Dodgers. Love the Penguin, even if he played for them.
Valentin was a decent hitter.....wonder how good his son will play. |

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
If Winker works out, maybe we'll finally see a left-hander hit behind Joey Votto.

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
Rangers went off the 218 player draft chart completely for a KC area pitcher.

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
He makes consistent hard contact and he’s starting to grow into what could be Major League average power. While Gelalich will still strik eout some, he’s become much more selective at the plate. A plus runner, he’s a threat to steal. He’s also improved defensively in terms of his reads and routes to go along with a solid-average arm.
College hitters who perform tend to move up as the Draft approaches, and that’s certainly happened with Gelalich, who is now seen as a potential everyday outfielder at the next level. |

Gelalich sounds a lot like Ryan LaMarre to me..
