Shawn Scobee

After missing out on Shawn Scobee in 2002, does anyone think they'll continue their recent trend of redrafting players? His stats were off the charts this year at Nevada; just look at these numbers:

 

.371/.538/.847/1.385 with 22HRs and 53RBI. He also showed pretty good plate discipline with a 47/44 K/BB ratio and he only made 2 errors all year long (53 starts) in the outfield.

I gotta believe that Nevada is a hitter's park, but those are still very impressive numbers. If he lasts until the 5th round, go ahead and pop him there.

According to Boyd's World, Nevada's home park factor rating is 136 and the weighted average of the parks they played in during 2004 was 115. The 136 ranks 9th by my count in the timeframe of 2002-2005. Their park is rather small; it is 340' down the lines, 383' in the alleys, and 401 to CF. The fences are 12' all the way around except for a 20' batter's eye.

 

FWIW, Peccole Park also doubles as the home of the Reno Silver Sox of the Golden Baseball League. Their season just started so I can't compare the HR totals. The next highest HR total on Nevada's team though was only 8HRs.

Reno is about 4500' above sea level, I'd imagine that helps the power a bit.

Apparently BA isn't sold on his ability to make consistent contact. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs took a chance on him again, though.

i've never heard of this one before.

Scobee went in the 14th round to Toronto.
