2013 MLB Draft

Round 13, Pick 377: Kyle Westwood, RHP, North Florida

 

There are plenty of GMs in all sports that make terrible decisions or just flat out suck...Im not saying Law knows more than Luhnow, but many times, the analysts are right while the GMs are wrong.

 

Westwood, a senior, is #412 on the BA 500.

Player Bio

2013: 15 appearances (9 starts, 1 CG), 4-1, 3.75 ERA, 62.1 IP, 68 H (7 HR), 28 R (26 earned), 12 BB, 71 K, 1.29 WHIP, .278 opponent average

 

In the 13th round, the Indians drafted a guy named Sicnarf Loopstok.

 

Ok, looks like our draft was a bust then :grin:

 

Round 14, Pick 407: Chris Cotton, LHP, LSU

Closer. Senior. 2013's Kenny Long.

2013: 35 relief appearances, 4-1, 16 saves, 1.29 ERA, 42 IP, 24 H (2 HR), 8 R (6 earned), 3 BB, 45 K, 0.64 WHIP, .164 opponent average

 

15:1 K:BB is really impressive.

 

Round 15, Pick 437: James Farris, RHP, Arizona

Farris' bio on U of A's Athletics page

2013: 15 starts (1 CG), 5-5, 4.15 ERA, 99 IP, 89 H (1 HR), 52 R (46 earned), 23 BB, 73 K, 1.13 WHIP, .240 opponent average

 

Round 16, Pick 467: Dillon Newman, RHP, Baylor

 

I'm hoping for a college pitcher with our next pick. Mix it up a little.

 

I think it's safe to say that Luhnow saw a weakness in pitching in our system.

 

Newman is a junior from Belton. He's 6'2", 200.

Baylor Athletics

2013: 12 starts (2 CG, 1 shutout, 2 combined shutouts), 3-4, 2.91 ERA, 77.1 IP, 63 H (4 HR), 28 R (25 earned), 5 BB, 52 K, 0.88 WHIP, .225 opponent average

Okay by me if the outcome is a factory of arms similar to the cardinals.

 

I think it is much more likely Bud Norris is not a member of this organization after the trade deadline this year

 

Round 17, Pick 497: Alex Schick, Cathedral Catholic HS, San Diego

Committed to Cal. 6'6", 180.
