harfman77 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Nationals took Cole BTW. If they sign him, that would be a tremendous addition that could potentially pair with Strasburg. Big risk/reward for the Nats, not sure how they can affor Harper and Cole after paying Strasburg last year, maybe they are better off financially than I thought. I think Cole ends up in Miami still.

They could easily afford both of them, just like the Sox could easily afford any draft pick they take as well.. it all comes down to if they actually will pay them or not..

scenario Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 This from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution yesterday... BACK TO THE BRAVES!!!! There is also speculation that the team will consider Mill Creek pitcher Matthew Grimes with their second pick at No. 53 overall. The 6-foot-6 righty throws 94 mph and has signed with Georgia Tech.

Jeff you know alittle more about him than I do. I like Morris. One of the better college first basemen this year. Decent power but his plate discipline is not so hot. I tweeted this on Grimes: Grimes' fastball sits 90-92 and touching 95. Above average curve, potentially average change. Nice upside. Good projectability too, could be a mid rotation type.

scenario Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Here's a couple of notes I just found on Grimes... Grimes continues rapid development for Hawks ------------------------------ A quote from the Georgia Tech website... Matthew Grimes RHP | R/R | 6-5 | 185 | Hoschton, GA (Mill Creek) • Hall on Grimes: Has a powerful arm with great upside potential • 20th-ranked recruit in Georgia and top 250 in the nation, according to Perfect Game Crosschecker • East Coast Pro Showcase • Played summer baseball for Team Elite ------------------------------ Edited June 8, 2010 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Baseball america on Grimes: Another player with Top 200 talent who was on the rise, righthander Matthew Grimes has a Georgia Tech baseball commitment and a projectable 6-foot-5 body. Some scouts question how much weight Grimes will add to his skinny frame, but with his long levers he generates intriguing fastball velocity. He sits at 89-91 mph but touches 93-94, with the ability to throw downhill, and has improved his breaking ball, which he throws with power and tilt in the upper 70s at his best. Grimes' detractors consider him a tough sign away from Tech and worry about the life on his fastball. He does have a clean arm and good mechanics after toning down a slight head jerk.

I think we all would have liked to seen Morris picked instead. Was hoping for Morris as well. We got lucky with the last Auburn 1B why not try our hand on another. Oh well though, don't know much about Grimes, but it sounds like he'll be hard to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
