They have been stockpiling talent year after year. Getting top prep players to forgo the draft and go to school, and its going to start showing. There should be 4 players drafted in the first round this year and another 3-4 go in the second, but next year it will be much more. Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Georgia, and Arkansas are in line to be top 8 seeds in the NCAA Tournament this year, and most of the talent is young. Vandy could have 5 or more guys go in the first 100 picks, Mississippi State-3, Georgia-4, Arkansas-2, and thats not counting big time programs that are having down years. LSU and Florida have tons of guys that have underperformed that could go high. Even teams like Tennessee and Auburn can have players go first day. Vandy is going to have the 2021 #1 pick as well in Kumar Rocker. The 3 guys that were/would have been 1st round picks in 2018 that decided to go to college.

holt_bruce81 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I see A lot of Mock drafts have the Cardinals going with Elon pitcher George Kirby....Can I get A quick scouting report on him? Also a few guys I like, what’s your opinion on Daniel Espino and Brennan Malone? And do you see any of Corbin Carroll, Hunter Bishop or Riley Greene falling in the draft? (To Cards pick). Cardinals have been more aggressive with their draft picks ever since Randy Flores took over those duties, interested to see if they go for one of these tough sign guys.

Cardinals have been more aggressive with their draft picks ever since Randy Flores took over those duties, interested to see if they go for one of these tough sign guys. Malone has potentially the biggest arm in the draft. He's touched upper 90's, but his breaking ball isn't consistently plus and his changeup is a work in progress. Great frame and delivery though. Haven't read or seen too much about Espino. I think Caroll falls some. He's small, doesn't project for much power, and his arm is fringy. Great bat control though and one of the fastest guys in the draft. If a team thinks the plate discipline is there and the arm is enough for center, then he could be a prototypical leadoff hitter. That's the upside. If he doesn't walk much, gets relegated to left field, and hits for no power, that's a third division regular if he even makes the bigs being the downside. Bishop I can't see falling out of the top 12, and I don't even think Greene makes it to the Reds at 7, let alone wherever the Cards are picking. Best prep bat in the draft. Not the best contact or the best power, but the best combination of the two. Even as a LF which is what he probably is, he's worth it. Jesse Winker with more power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espino was a projected top 10 pick after he dominated the showcases last summer. Big fastball that has reached 100. Supposedly he's thrown 2 different secondaries (I believe curve and a slider, but can't remember). Mechanics are iffy. Maxed out body. Last I saw was that he had regressed a bit this Spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Jim Callis from MLB Pipeline with a new mock out:https://www.mlb.com/news/adley-rutschman-remains-favorite-to-go-no-1-in-mock-draft?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Follow the link and he has little blurbs after each pick about reasoning or other guys he's heard about that team in on as well. Quote Orioles: Adley Rutschman, C, Oregon State Royals: Bobby Witt, SS, Colleyville (Texas) Heritage HS White Sox: CJ Abrams, SS, Blessed Trinity Catholic HS (Roswell, Ga.) Marlins: JJ Bleday, OF, Vanderbilt Tigers: Andrew Vaughn, 1B, California Padres: Riley Greene, OF, Hagerty HS (Oviedo, Fla.)

Angels: Matthew Allan, RHP, Seminole HS (Sanford, Fla.) Diamondbacks: George Kirby, RHP, Elon Nationals: Josh Jung, 3B, Texas Tech Pirates: Quinn Priester, RHP, Cary-Grove HS (Cary, Ill.) Cardinals: Corbin Carroll, OF, Lakeside HS (Seattle) Mariners: Brett Baty, 3B, Lake Travis HS (Austin, Texas) Braves: Logan Davidson, SS, Clemson Rays: Keoni Cavaco, 3B, Eastlake HS (Chula Vista, Calif.) Rockies: Kameron Misner, OF, Missouri Indians: Will Wilson, SS, North Carolina State Dodgers: Brennan Malone, RHP, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) Diamondbacks: Maurice Hampton, OF, Memphis (Tenn.) University HS Cubs: Michael Busch, 1B/OF, North Carolina Brewers: Seth Johnson, RHP, Campbell Athletics: Greg Jones, SS, UNC Wilmington Yankees: Kody Hoese, 3B, Tulane Dodgers: Brooks Lee, SS, San Luis Obispo (Calif.) HS Astros: Daniel Espino, RHP, Georgia Premier Academy (Statesboro, Ga.) Diamondbacks: JJ Goss, RHP, Cypress (Texas) Ranch HS Diamondbacks: Kyren Paris, SS, Freedom HS (Oakley, Calif.) For the Reds I get a Lodolo pick, but I would prefer Stott, Bishop, Allan, or maybe even Gunnar Henderson there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 If Espino is there I hope we take him. If not then take Goss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo18287 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I didn't realize that the old Alma Mater, Campbell had 2 guys who could day 1 picks in Seth Johnson and less likely Matthew Barefoot. Regretting that I didn't get over to there to watch a game this year. It's more typical that they don't have anyone drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Carroll would be a slam dunk pick for the Cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils1854 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Callis is literally clueless when it comes to the Braves. There is less than a 10% chance that Rutledge is the pick at #9 and maybe a #2 chance Davidson is selected at #21. if the draft played out like that, Manoah, Langeliers, and Allan would be the selection. Would slightly give Allan a lead depending on his bonus demands, and don’t discount Gunnar Henderson in a undershot deal. Malone and Espino would be the likely selection at 21 unless they decided to go with the bat of Wilson or Busch. Davidson and Misner to a little lesser degree aren’t the type of player this organization drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Heard from two different sources the Cardinals love Maurice Hampton. @devils1854 I see You had him ranked 14th in your latest rankings. Seems like he has the tools and teams believe once he’s 100% about baseball his upside is tremendous. Got any comparisons for me that you can think of?

Seems like he has the tools and teams believe once he’s 100% about baseball his upside is tremendous. Got any comparisons for me that you can think of? Most analysts seem to think his number is around 2 million and that goes down all the way to pick 36, so if he is selected in the first round, then he will definitely be signing as long as he isnt low balled. He's a top 100ish recruit in football at defensive back so he is built like a brick, unlike most baseball prospects. He is a guy that once he sticks to baseball, he can learn how to be a great defender and how to have a more polished swing. Right now-plus raw power, plus speed, above average arm, average game power, average defense(corner OF), below average hit tool Focusing on pro baseball ceiling-plus raw power, plus speed, above average arm, above average game power, above average defense(CF), average hit tool. A good comp would be current prospect Monte Harrison of the Marlins. Tons of tools. If he figures them out, a big time prospect, if not, he is nothing, but the potential is through the roof.
