I was at the game tonight. Markey was impressive. I briefly had a chance to talk with Klaw. He said he was there to see Baez & Torres, but Markey was a bit of a surprise. Said that Cubs got great value as a 19th rd pick last year, thinks he could be a major league arm, but projecting forward, size is a bit of a concern.

 

I thought Torres looked a bit overmatched at the plate ( he K'd twice) & made comment to Klaw. He pointed out how quick he got around on a foul ball & how ball jumped off his bat. Klaw also asked if I was around for BP (I wasn't), and said GB put on a good performance in BP. Zagunis didn't play, so I asked for his thoughts on Chesney Young, but he didn't think he's a guy.

Pretty strong end to the year for Pierce Johnson. Excited to see what he can do in the AFL.

Wow, I didn't know Markey could touch 96. He's had a very strong season. He and Williams were both nice finds later in the draft last year.

Yeah, I had no idea either. Null as a 15th rounder was another good find too.

Yep. He's a bit younger, too.

I know we can't really judge it for another 20 years or whatever, but at this point, last year's draft is looking about as good as it gets.

 

EDIT: Well, except for Stinnett, but even he has been looking a lot better in the 2nd half.
