Anyone thinking we pop Niko Vazquez here? -
Yeah, like people would really stop freaking out. Cubs go on a 9 game win streak and gain 1 or 2 games. Just awesome. After the first game of their series with Tampa, the Cards were 3 games out. Since then, they've played .687 ball, and gained a half game. And their schedule gets much tougher through the All Star break.

Saber Scouting had Shafer at 77. Wilken has really shied away from High School players these last couple drafts.

Not against stellar college competition, but that K/BB ratio is stellar. Player ERA W-L APP GS CG SHO/CBO SV IP H R ER BB SO 2B 3B HR AB B/Avg WP HBP BK SFA SHA 41 Shafer, Aaron.... 2.67 11-3 15 15 4 0/0 0 107.2 94 44 32 26 106 15 2 3 395 .238 1 10 2 2 13

What's gotten into the Cardinals?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to bukie's topic in General Baseball Talk
Not great immediately, but I think he'll be pretty good. This thinking led me to draft Francisco Liriano in the first 8 rounds of two fantasy drafts this year. -
I put Alvarez in there as a comparison since he played the same competition.

Actually, it's pretty easy to have a reason to not like the selection of a college reliever in the first round, especially one that's as unpolished as Cashner is.
-
Melville, Hunt, Jake O, Kelly, Collier, and Gillaspie all around and 12 picks til the Cubs.
-
Those predictions are very optimistic and probably a couple years from being realized(both of them).
-
The Cubs taking and paying Melville would make me feel better about taking Cashner. Alex Meyer and Issac Galloway are two more names to consider for 41.
-
Add Cole to that list of possibilities for 41, forgot about him. Hopefully Melville and Kelly go soon, I'm not sure we'd pay them their demands in the Sandwich round.
-
Consistent 96-98mph fastball is rated as a 60? What does it take to get to 70 or 80? Movement. Maybe command of it too, I can't remember if that's considered.
-
Okay, Friedrich, Hunt, Collier, Melville, Kelly, Gillaspie, Odorizzi, and Havens would all make good picks at 41. Any chance one of them makes it there?

19. Andrew Cashner, RHR, Texas Christian Bio: 6′5, 185, Bats R, Throws R, 21 years old The Skinny: This 6-foot-6 righty has been flying up the boards of late, and at least in our eyes, is now the top college reliever in the class. With a fastball that’s been reportedly touching 98 MPH, the TCU righty has been close to untouchable out of the pen. Teams may balk at his lack of track record and closing experience, but others will salivate over his electric arm, projectable frame, and makings of an out-pitch slider. Many teams like his clean arm and feel for a changeup enough to project him as a starter with his newfound velocity, but Cashner lacks feel and command at times and is still raw. Some teams think he could start, which would boost his profile significantly, and there is reportedly interest in the top 10, all the way up to #6 (Marlins). Otherwise, teams like Seattle, Philadelphia, and the Mets are rumored to be looking college reliever in the late teens and early 20s. Pros: Fresh arm, Fastball velocity Cons: Track record, Polish Comparison: Chris Ray Adjusted OFP: 55

JeffH gets to make his Fire Wilken website if Collier isn't the pick here.
-
Hunt or Melville please.
-
BA:
-
Could Hunt fall all the way to us?
-
Crow to the Nats is better than him haunting us in Cincy or Houston.
-
I'm trying my best not to get too excited yet. If he falls past the Cards at 13, I'll start getting pretty pumped. Yeah, I read at GRB today that StL won't let Crow get past them.
-
Does someone mind putting up the picks as they happen? At least for the first round and maybe the sandwich? So far: TB: Tim Beckham Pit: Pedro Alvarez KC: Eric Hosmer
-
EST? Unless it goes faster than last year, you'll miss it by 5-10 minutes.
-
Since it's 1:00 and there's no real ongoing debate here, I'll go ahead and lock this thread.
