Daz Cameron slipping past the Rangers? That might mean the Stros go for him instead of Benintendi! *crossing fingers*

[Benihana]

Would love to see Tyler Jay and Carson Fulmer go in the next couple picks...
Maybe Walker Buehler too...

The day is finally here!

My official wish list for the three Reds selections that will happen tonight:

Round 1 - Pick 11 (assuming Swanson, Rodgers and Bregman are off the board)

x-1. Andrew Benintendi OF Arkansas #7 Redsox
x-2. Kyle Tucker OF HS #5 Astros
3. Daz Cameron OF HS
4. Tyler Stephenson C HS
5. Trenton Clark OF HS

Round 2 - Pick 49

1. Brady Aiken LHP IMG
2. Mike Matuella RHP Duke
3. Phil Bickford RHP JC
4. DJ Stewart OF Florida State
5. Cornelius Randolph SS HS
* Garrett Whitley OF HS / Ian Happ OF Cincinnati / Kevin Newman SS Arizona (three guys that won't last this long, but would be nice)

Round 2 Comp B - 71

1. Justin Hooper LHP HS
2. Beau Burrows RHP HS
3. Jacob Nix RHP IMG
4. Alonzo Jones SS/3B HS
5. Kyle Holder SS San Diego
6. Jalen Miller SS HS
7. Blake Trahan SS Louisiana-Lafayette
8. Nick Shumpert SS HS
9. Skye Bolt OF UNC
10. Mac Marshall LHP JC

While I'd love to see the Reds take the aforementioned guys, my prediction for #11 is the Reds actually take Ian Happ or Kevin Newman, two middle-of-the-diamond college bats without a standout tool that performed very well in the Cape Cod League last summer - fits Buckley's profile perfectly.

Anybody around? Can't remember the Board ever being this quiet during the top half of the first round...

I wouldn't hate Happ or Newman, but both have major holes. Happ lacks plate patience. Newman lacks power.
