    I can find nothing online about 14th rounder Luis Vazquez, other than he's from Puerto Rico, and somebody made a terrible video of him working out.
  2. Hrubes20
    Pretty surprised that Kwang-Min Kwon made the Eugene roster. AZPhil made is sound like he's not ready for SS ball.
  3. Hrubes20
    Rollie Lacy, RHP - Creighton - Stop me if you've heard this, but he has Cape Cod experience.
  4. Hrubes20
    That's what I figured. Can't imagine Estrada getting anywhere near that. I'd honestly be surprised if he even took the $1.5 million that Cease got.
  5. Hrubes20
    Well that's a boner-killing series of tweets. That's a waste of about $235K in the bonus pools if he doesn't sign. This FO is just so good at manipulating numbers though, that you have to believe they knew what they were doing.
  6. Hrubes20
    Wow. Did not think Estrada was at all signable. They obviously felt good about it if he's being taken in the 6th.
  7. Hrubes20
    Not ranked by MLB.com. I'll take it!
  8. Hrubes20
    This is gonna be the hitter. I can feel it. Evan Skoug, come on down!
  9. Hrubes20
    Well that's good news that he already got his degree. Hopefully he takes slot. He's not the type of guy I would be happy paying overslot for.

    Erich Uelman. Another collegiate pitcher with Cape Cod League experience. Another meh pick overall, unfortunately. 5 straight college pitchers to start the draft. Someone go check on the FO to make sure they weren't kidnapped!
  11. Hrubes20
    horsefeathers. Thompson looks like he may have been the overslot. Boras client.
  12. Hrubes20
    Keegan Thompson, RHP from Auburn. Meh.
  13. Hrubes20
    And Wong gone now as well. My best available big board has been annihilated.
  14. Hrubes20
    Damn. Riley Adams to the Blue Jays.
  15. Hrubes20
    It will be interesting to see if he's taken. Supposedly both Enlow and Allen told teams not to draft them after last night.
  16. Hrubes20
    Shorter? Isn't he 6'3"? I'm with you on both likely as bullpen arms though. Of course, college arms available at 27 and 30 aren't going to be slam dunks.
  17. Hrubes20
    horsefeathers I hope I'm wrong about Lange. I really do not like him as a prospect. It's apparent that the "type of pitcher" that McLeod was referring to was one with a really good curveball.
  18. Hrubes20
    Where did Little spend last summer? That's right. Another Cape Cod pick by this regime. 8-) horsefeathers the Lange pick. I hate him as a prospect. Reliever.
  19. Hrubes20
    Keith Law tweeted that a source for a team with a lower top 10 pick informed him that Lewis looks to be the 1st pick. It's been McKay/Wright for the past 3 months it seems. Crazy how weird this draft is up top.
  20. Hrubes20
    Probably not a surprise that his pre-draft MRI results are bad.

    I talked to a guy this morning about Varsho who have seen him personally, and he told me that he's much closer to 30th in this class than he is to 60. Apparently the bat is a lot better than what little I could find to read about online. One guy I trust told me that he would consider placing a 70 on his raw power (still about 55 in-game). That's significantly better than what the interwebz would have me believe. Thinks he's a 55 hit guy as well. Said the arm was "pitiful" but that he received the ball "adequately". Above average runner that could play LF if need be, which he thinks is likely. Honestly, that package sounds a bit similar to what Schwarber was coming out. It's only one guy, but he's watched a lot of baseball in that region. I trust his report.
  22. Hrubes20
    When signed, he was thought of as a defensive-first catcher with gold glove potential. He clearly has displayed an elite ability to throw our guys so far. BA's scouting reports on him when he signed didn't even mention his apparent howitzer of an arm. They pointed to how advanced he was as a receiver and that he showed early strength as a framer. I'm not asking for much. I'll take prime Carlos Ruiz as his comp, since they are both from Panama.
  23. Hrubes20
    Per the twitters, Daulton Varsho reportedly had a terrific workout for the Cubs. I remember somebody had us taking him as a big underslot in the 1st. Law? I'd be slightly disappointed with that pick, given how terrible the reports are on his arm behind the plate. And sign me up for the Schmidt/Allen mocks.
  24. Hrubes20
    Holy horsefeathers. Thursday cannot come soon enough. I will be tuning in to as many Eugene games as I possibly can.
  25. Hrubes20
    The under slot one, over slot the other idea Law is talking about, explains Varsho, Rooker, Gonzalez, maybe even Melendez being mocked to us. Top 15 talent.....Baz a possibility? I'll guess not. Same with Hall. Leaves Carlson and Rogers, I'd guess..... There first has to be a top 15 talent that drops. I haven't heard of any true tough signs yet, other than Brady McConnell and Mark Vientos in a blurb in one of the recent mocks. Has anybody else seen other names listed as tough signs?
