    Shoulder injuries do scare you with pitchers, but he hasn't needed surgery on it. This isn't a torn labrum.

    No, but his stuff is not nearly the same... I may have taken him, I dont know, he is a very high reward guy, but a big risk... when kids at that age start to have their stuff go down, it is a huge red flag. Had his stuff stayed the same he is gone in the top 2 of this draft.

    Pick 220: Javaris Reynolds, CF from King HS in Tampa

    The Cubs picked Wayne Gretzky's son with the pick before ours.

    2011 stats: 12-1 2.08ERA 128ks only 78 hits in 112.2IP :eek:

    His numbers before that are very ordinary. Baseball Cube gives him a 93 in control.

    I guess that is where I am at also. Dont follow the college/high school level at all. Just hope Heck and Wade make some good choices.

    Astros: San Diego State OF Brandon Meredith. Mixed reports, but those who like him give him plus grades for speed, power and athleticism

    I just tuned in to the live audio feed and these picks are flying by, literally no time in between each one. Apparently teams aren't looking at the same players
