Sorry I'm behind in the draft to real time so that's why my replies are late. This guy throws nasty filthy GAS!! Marlins will have 3 SP that can all throw over 95 mph very soon. Fernandez, Eovaldi and Kolek are all RH flame throwers. Mix in two LP in between these three and the Marlins are not going to be fun to hit against. Love this pickQuote:

It doesn't really work that way. If Stratton pitches well, he'll be in the majors. It's up to him.Quote:

Um ok. Bumgarner, Hudson, Cain are locks for at least two more years. Lincecum and Vogelsong probably stay through this year and next. Then the Giants will be looking to move 1-2 guys up. Beede is considered one of the closest to MLB ready SP in this draft. Stratton is a SP. How does this not affect him and his projected call-up? They only have so many SP in the minors even sniffing consideration and Beede was/is drafted to be pitching within 3 years tops. I get that each player ultimately decides their future to a point based on their success but this certainly doesn't make Stratton's path any easier.Quote:

All I'm saying is that regardless of how they project things, Stratton can force their hand. If he pitches lights out, they're not going to keep him in the minors just because they had another guy pegged ahead of him. It'll be about performance, that's my only point.Quote:

He's not on any "best available" list that I've seen...but of course that doesn't mean he can't get picked. Vallot was on those listsQuote:
