I'll work on my reports tomorrow and Thursday. If you want Raisin, I'll PM them to you to keep on front page.

Fwiw, I only gave Varsho a marginal (47), 4th round.

It's fine. Do it between innings, after they have an accurate gauge of the pitchers' velo or the bottom of the order given most scouts aren't looking at their 7-8-9 hitters. After you ask a question, you'll get an idea of how talkative they are.

Count me in for Sublime. F off Mojo.

I heard less than 3, slot up until 1st 10 picks. But, it's been awhile and it's all speculation.

I don't have much on Garett King out of Cal Baptist, from I've seen on him is that his FB is between 89-93 with + command, 72-75 CB which is his out pitch, inconsistent slider and change.

Page 6 - About halfway down.

Your pondering just confirmed it as ridiculous.

Fwiw, my favorite of the collegiate pitchers to go around there is Morgan Cooper of Texas.

There will be a few more later.

Evan White: Personally, I like him as a 1B, I don't know if he can play CF. If the Cubs feel that he can then, grab him. Obviously, him at 1B doesn't work for the Cubs. I project a Wally Joyner type career from him more than Erstad.

UK, what can you give us on Logan Warmoth? Headed into the season, following a very good summer in the Cape Cod League, UNC shortstop Logan Warmoth looked like a pretty good bet to come off the board in the top 3-4 rounds of the 2017 MLB Draft. Fast forward to three months pre-draft and Warmoth is making a case to be a first round selection thanks to a rapidly developing hit tool and increased power production and projection. Leading UNC in several hitting categories thus far with a .333/.422/.576 slash line and five home runs, Warmoth has most notably improved in the power area, as his five home runs already are more than 2016's entire total of four. There really aren't any glaring deficiencies to his game at the moment, though some scouts are wary of a potential move to second base down the road due to an average throwing arm from shortstop. Regardless of the arm strength concerns Warmoth is an above average athlete with quality hands, footwork and overall defensive actions at the shortstop position, which all play together to form one of the better defensive shortstops in college baseball currently. Offensively, Warmoth has made notable gains in terms of physical strength and that has shown up in a big way offensively. The strength has allowed his raw power to jump into the above average range, and it's showing up more and more in game situations. In my viewing vs. Georgia Tech, Warmoth had the shot of the day, launching a ball deep over the left field fence (and over the indoor football facility) at a pivotal point in the game. It was a big time shot for a 6-foot-4, 240-pound slugger, let alone a 6-foot, 190-pound middle infielder. The bat-to-ball skills are sound as well, and he shows the ability to manipulate the barrel around the zone while maintaining a positive launch and driving the ball on a line into the air. There are some profile limitations, and as mentioned he may have to move to second base in the future, but on the whole Warmoth looks like a top two rounder right now, especially in a draft class that is a touch down in terms of college position players.

If you guys want a report on a particular player, let me know.

Yep. Hiura would be my dream come true. Yeah, I'm also down for selecting Hiura if he falls that far. I don't know where he fits or works defensively. He definitely needs TJ surgery on his throwing arm right? Agreed, if the best hitter in the draft falls to 27, you have to get him. I think it's very slim he drops that far.

That and they've made solid contact all inning.

I wish Johnson was still in the Cubs organization.

Nothing on a national level, for the Midwest U Il, WI, Ia and MN. Carlson is signable, fwiw. Cool. Curious, why is Crouse a complete no for the Cubs? Too animated or just too much of a project? I really like Crouse, he has the best swing and miss among the prep pitchers but there's some concerns with repeating that as well as the recoil. With their 1st pick, I don't know if they want that much of a floor.

Off-topic: 2018 OF Jarred Kelenic (OF from WI) is the best player I've scouted in 13 years. It was previously Odorizzi.
