Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I got a busy day at work so I plan on attacking these picks in a set of ten or so, mainly talking about guys that have some sort of skill-set or interseting fact about them. However, the reality is that most of the guys going right now are either going to go back to school and try to improve there draft stock (especially any high school kid and a lot of juco guys) or they will most likely be organizational guys. That said there might be a few intriguing guys that come off the boards, maybe a college senior whose slid down for whatever reason or something like that.

flavum Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Isn't it pretty pointless following rounds 31-50? It seems like these guys don't even sign anymore. Without the "draft and follow" option anymore, I'm surprised the draft is this long anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have improved this (senior) season. I'l see if I can find this year's stats. Does Big West have a conference page with stats?

Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 QUOTE (Seymizzle @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) Sox are drafting a lot of college seniors so they'll most likely sign. First off, welcome aboard, and second off, your spot on. It looks like a lot of these guys are seniors that they plan on getting into the system. We'll see them in short season ball soon enough, imo.

flavum Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Just happened to notice the Mariners drafted Jorden Merry in the 40th round. I guess he should have signed with the Sox last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great value pick at this stage in the game. http://www.umterps.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/casario_aj01.html The above link is his player profile, says he is a senior but I believe he is a junior. He was drafted by the Dodgers in the 27th round out of high school. Apparently the Dodgers wanted him to go to a JUCO for a year and they'd give him more money than the typical 27th round pick. He decided to go play for the Terps instead. Expect him to hit well in short-season but the question will be whether he has the tools to hit as he moves up into the higher levels, imo.

Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Burnside missed a season in college after undergoing surgery, but as a sophmore he was pretty damn good for Auburn, even gained the role of Friday night starter. Burnside was horrendous in his senior season (first year back from injury, only made 4 appearances his junior year as he was recovering). Prior to undergoing Tommy John, Burnside was climbing up draft boards and was looked at as a guy who might be able to move into the top 4-5 rounds of the draft. Below is a scouting report on a healthy Burnside, it was based upon his performance in a collegiate summer league, the Valley League. After the season, Baseball America named Burnside the 3rd best prospect in the league. Their writeup included the following comment: "[He] has a projectable 6-foot-4, 207 pound frame and a lively 89-93 mph fastball." Paul's teammates had some fun with the news. "Some of my teammates thought it was pretty funny," he said. "They came into the locker room after the first couple days of practice; a few of the guys had printed it off and thought it would be funny to show it to everybody. They said, 'Can I get your autograph, sir, please?' and all that kind of stuff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
