Dang. Didn't have a good feeling where he was drafted but thought there might be a chance. At least we know.

report those fuckers

at first glance i like this pick. 3b with a good arm (has also been a pitcher). on-base machine. in 2014 had 176 abs, 26 walks, 15 hbp, 23 k´s, 55 hits, 8 doubles, 5 homers. ba 313, slg 433, obp 436. looks like there´s a good reason he´s been drafted every year. doesn´t seem like a bad phils 3b option if franco and asche don´t work out there.

can´t find any scouting reports on him since he graduated from highschool, though. anyone else find anything?

bio

6'7" 190, Tennessee Tech commit

BA on McWilliams:
"McWilliams is one of the prime pop-up arms in the country and has been something of an enigma this spring because his stuff can differ significantly start to start. He worked at 83-86 mph last fall, touching 88. At his best this spring, he sits in the low 90s while touching 94 mph. Other days he can sit 84-86 and even drop as low as 83."

BA on Tyler Glasnow (top 50 MLB prospect for Pirates) for 2011 Draft:
"Glasnow is still growing into his huge body, but he reportedly ran his fastball into the low 90s this spring, though scouts say his fastball ranged from 83-89 mph more often, sitting in the mid-80s."

Both 6'7" between 190-195lbs. One can dream.

hey, i was being sorta serious here. Maybe it's just the way the US baseball market is, but is there a sortable list of the entire draft which includes a player's race? I am amazed by the lily-whiteness of our new stable.

Needed to balance out the major club, Crawford, Quinn, Hewitt and Greene

Sova says he's joining Williamsport after a few days in Clearwater

Hoskins says he's "off to Philly!", so he has no idea where he's going

Joel Fisher says he's flying to Clearwater tomorrow

I think you should take heed of the Lilly whiteness of baseball in general. It's a major issue across the US. Black athletes in general do not even bother to play high school baseball. They choose to focus on football and basketball as a whole.

When I was still coaching HS baseball, we had to recruit kids to play for us because they would t otherwise sign up to play.

yeah, that's why i was wondering if there was a list so I could assess the entire draft population. baseball is definitely falling out of favor with the inner city kids, though. and that demographic skews greatly non-white.

Sounds like Molina is a possibility if the money is right.

Hoskins and Stankiewicz will be reporting to Williamsport

Nola has signed. Woo!

TEAM OF THE RISING SON

It will be interseting to see if they just gave him full slot value (I suspect they did).
