I assume corner outfielder with power? Anyone know anything about this kid?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:

Now we are onto the Compensatory Round.
Competitive Balance Round is starting now...1 minute between picks.
Pick 35 from Colorado: 2B Forrest Wall from Orangewood Christian School.
Miami Marlins have the next pick.
Pick 36 Miami Marlins: C Blake Anderson from West Lauderdale HS (MS)
Houston Astros are on the clock.
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:
