From his top 100 he had Nola #9 and Imhof #58. Interestedly enough had Gareth Morgan at #44.

cal poly nabisco was pretty dirty this year. 47-12 on the season. imhof only had second best ERA of their starters (2.45) but also had 124 Ks in 99 IP

They'll be 0-0 in a couple weeks, so there's that

Wolever:

“He’s a big left-hander with a plus fastball, above-average breaking ball and a lot of deception in his delivery. We’ve seen a lot of him and he’s a rotation guy -- middle to the back of the rotation.”

“He has a chance to go through [the system] a little quicker, not as quickly as Nola, but he throws strikes and he commands the strike zone. That certainly works to his advantage.”

Wolever said the Phillies were hoping to select a hitter with the No. 47 pick, but Imhof was too good to pass up. “Some of the bats we were focused on were gone at that point and he was the best option."


yep, that's gotta be Gatewood

I like how the hitters that we targeted there we all gone got somehow converted into "Imhof was too good to pass up".

Writing is as awful as ever.

I like the two picks. That being said I'd like to see two high schoolers in the first 3 picks today.

He's lower on Nola than most, as a Cajun and Creole detractor. And going with a second pitcher? An overkill emulsion

Both our Thursday picks won their team's opening NCAA regional game last weekend, but then the team choked at home and didn't advance. #cultureoflosing

Except they both won their starts. Maybe they'll learn from Papelbon how to bitch about their lousy teammates to the media.

Listen to the top Imhof video closely right at the outset - NSFW (too funny)

Rd 3 = Aaron Brown, CF/LHP, Pepperdine
@AaronBrown407
bio

Image

Taken a year ago by the Cleveland Indians as a Draft-eligible sophomore in the 30th round, Brown returned to Pepperdine for his junior year and has cemented himself as one of the more highly regarded college two-way players. As a left-handed starter, Brown was terrific in Pepperdine's weekend rotation this season, using a three-pitch mix well. He'll throw his fastball in the 90-92 mph range with some sink when he can keep it down in the zone. His slider will flash above-average, and he has the makings of a potentially Major League-average changeup. All of these pitches might play up if he focuses on the mound, but some teams also like him as an outfielder, one who might even have the athleticism to play center field. He has some legitimate raw power from the left side of the plate, as well.
