    Ignore the fact that you know he's in high school and just watch him pitch....Kid has an exceptional delivery and his repertoire is already pretty polished.

    Too early to tell on the rest, but you're sold on the one guy who hasn't played in the pros.

    12 of 18

    If things keep going this way, might be some unexpected position players at #37

    They've made this way to long. They can't trade the picks, so it is purely for TV to why they now do 5 minutes between picks. Go to 2-3 minutes.

    Hope we hit it big with Aiken. His scouting reports are pretty phenomenal. Plus stuff with great control.

    We'll have an idea after one year what the ceilings will be. Look at Correa and Buxton.

    Disagree. Pitchers take much longer to develop than position players.

    We need to set forth a 3 year plan to bring back the killer B's. Braxton Davidson?

    Only 2 other HS pitchers selected #1 overall since the draft was instituted in 1965.

    David Clyde and Brien Taylor

    Good luck with that.

    Are there no highly rated 2B in this draft?

    What happened wasn't he supposed to be a mid first rounder? Signability risk?

    Huge if we can get him at # 37!

    Concerns about his hitting. He has the power, but scouts say he might not hit for a high enough average.
