    Winner: The Reds

    Cincinnati landed Collier with the No. 18 pick even though he was a projected top-10 pick all spring, and sometimes even a projected top-five pick. Collier is a fascinating prospect because he's a 17-year-old who got his GED and finished high school early, and enrolled in a junior college so he could enter the draft as what amounts to a high school junior. Collier has big upside -- he's received some Rafael Devers comps for his bat -- and to get him with the No. 18 pick is a huge, huge win for the Reds. My favorite pick of the night.

    I know I'm getting way ahead and being unfair but his swing looks like Junior, his stance and fielding style remind me of George Brett. Hyperbole Ole!
    99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...

    I was wondering who the fielding reminded me of. It looked familiar. Idk what it his. At different times his swing reminds me of Junior others I see Carlos Delgado and to a lesser degree Fred McGriff.

    Re: 3B Cam Collier

    Very un-Reds like to outbid the rest of the teams in the draft. On the surface, I give it a thumbs up. It seems like after the first half of the first round, the players are more or less scratch off tickets. Getting one of the top talents seems like a better bet to me. You draft/minor league gurus might have a different take.
    WHEN DOES IT STOP!?!?

    excited about this pick, but have a question on pre-draft bidding wars. How is that not tampering and an unfair trade practice?

    I’m guessing the union and player agents do not complain because it benefits the players, especially the high-profile first round picks, and the teams dont complain because they all do it

    Cam Collier signed and received $5 million bonus. It’s above the $3.659 slot value for the 18th pick.

    Still just 17. Does he start at Daytona? Even for Low A that's awfully young, but the experience he already has against older competition shows he can make the jump.

    I’d personally put him #2 in the farm behind EDLC

    I'd start him in Dayton just to see if he can handle it.

    (And I full well realize I'm an outlier and the Reds won't do this.)

    I'd love to see them be aggressive in moving Collier through the system. Target late 2024 for his debut.
