    All I've heard on TV is that holder isn't really an mlb prospect. He doesn't have a plus FB and only throws two pitches.

    Tyler Beede despite his struggles is still in the top 10.

    Aaron Nola of LSU is rated in the top six and is a candidate to be the top overall pick taken, but the Astros are more than likely going to take someone like Brady Aiken or Carlos Rodon.

    Touki Touissant is rated at #16 overall. Dylan Cease is rated 68th, but I think he goes to school because he has an elbow injury.

    Arkansas pitcher Chris Oliver is at #40, AJ Reed of Kentucky is at 48, Bobby Bradley from Harrison Central and a LSU commit is at #60, Spencer Turnbull from Alabama by way of Madison Central is at 62, Brett Graves a pitcher from Mizzou is at 74 despite pitching for the worst team in the NCAA, Daniel Mengdon a pitcher from Texas A&M is at 85, catcher Grayson Greiner from South Carolina is at 88, and Joey Pankake of South Carolina is at 94.

    Unless I'm missing someone, that's 10 of the top 100 from the SEC. And then several others that are committed to SEC schools. That's why the SEC is the best in the country in baseball.

    This should give everyone a good idea of who we have to worry about as far as the draft- although I'd keep an eye on Dale Burdick, Jesse McCord, and Cole Gordon.
    Link? The one I saw didn't look like this.

    I wish I knew how to put up one of those things where a crowd is cheering wildly.

    Mark it down, Touki will go in the first round but somehow he will still end up at Vandy. We would have had no shot to keep him.

    I don't think he ends up as a closer in the minors, and I think someone in single a is going to spend a lot of time trying to get his fastball to the mid-90's and adding a pitch. If he can do that, and that's a lot to do, I think he ends up as a specialist in the majors. That 12-6 does wonders against guys in college but a lot of those swing-and-a-misses would be dug out of the dirt and hit into the stands at the next level.

    He has the frame to have a strikeout fastball. Next time he's on TV take a look at his arms. He's not very toned. That would be fixed in rookie and single a I imagine. First thing.

    I think he signs with MLB. He lives with his mother who is a refugee from Haiti.

    I think they tried to add velocity to Holder's fastball in the Cape Cod League and what they ended up doing was straightening out his fastball. Butch told him to go back to what he was doing before and it has worked out a lot better.

    I don't think you will get much of an argument about him not being very toned. That's why he is Kenny F***ing Holder. If the show is any indication- steroids might be an option down the road.**
