It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
Jake, I'm pretty sure when picking in the top ten you lose your next highest pick when signing a comp FA. So for the Reds that would be their competitive pick A they received.

I will say I'm really looking forward to the draft next year when the Reds have 3 of the first ~40 picks. Time to stock up on position players.

It's early yet, but Chaminade CF Blake Rutherford is considered the third-best prospect in the 2016 draft as of now. Rutherford looks to have the wheels to stick in CF, but his plus arm may push him to RF. According to Kiley McDaniel, he's a plus runner with above average tools across the board. Long way to go, but I'd love to see a talent like that added to the Reds' farm.
Yes. Rutherford or Nick Banks are my early favorites. The best bats available that also happen to be OF. The only part of that scouting report I don't understand is why, if someone had the wheels to stick in CF, would their superior arm push them to RF? Wouldn't you always rather have the superior fielder (arm included) in CF if they could stick there?
Go BLUE!!!

Reposting this from tORG:
Over the past 10 years, here's how many wins each of the top 10 picks averaged:
If the Reds finish 12-14, they'll end up with a 68-94 record. The last time a team with less than 69 wins didn't get a top-5 pick was in 2004, so that doesn't happen very often. Even if they get on a hot streak and go 18-8, they're likely to end up with one of the protected picks.Code:PICK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 WINS 58.4 63.3 65.5 67.2 68.5 70.6 71.5 73.5 74.0 74.7
