June 5, 201214 yr Author I haven't followed this at all, is this considered the 2nd or 3rd round? Who do the Reds pick? This is now the 2nd...The Reds pick next at 78, we are now at 66...Here is a list of the Reds next 7 picks and where they pick with the est. slot figure... 78 $649,700 109 $436,800 142 $317,800 172 $237,900 202 $178,300 232 $146,000 262 $136,300 292 $127,300 322 $125,000
June 5, 201214 yr Author With the 49th pick in the 2012 MLB Draft the Reds select Jesse Winker the 59th overall prospect... Jesse Winker Olympia HS (Calif.), Senior Height: 6'3", Weight: 200 Position: OF DOB: 08/17/1993 Bats: L, Throws: L : Florida Any team interested in Winker on Draft day will be buying the bat. If his career as an amateur is any indication, it will be worth purchasing. Winker has an advanced idea at the plate, with a terrific approach from the left side. He can hit the ball hard to all fields, with power to the pull side now with more to come. He is the type of left-handed hitter easy to project as a run-producer in the future. Winker doesn't run particularly well and might be limited to left field or first base down the road. He does have a decent enough arm for a corner outfield spot and should hit enough for either position, a reason why some team will try to keep him from honoring that commitment to Florida. An interesting thing that I just heard on Winker is that he has been swinging a wooded bat in HS...That's got too help...I'm liking this pick more and more...
June 5, 201214 yr Tanner Rahier, HS SS....Top ranked player available according to Baseball America. "Rahier isn't taking the most typical path as a Draft prospect. He doesn't play for his high school team. Instead, the infielder chose to play for his spring travel team, playing in wood bat games instead of for his Palm Desert High School team, and scouts have been sure to check him out this spring. An aggressive hitter who can really turn on fastballs, he has the chance to have plus power in the future. He does overswing and can struggle with breaking stuff at times. He's an average runner, but basestealing won't be a part of his game. Defensively, his best tool is his arm, though he also has decent hands and fairly good range. He likely won't stay at shortstop, though all of his skills, from the power bat to his defensive tools, should profile just fine at third base."
June 5, 201214 yr Author With the 78th pick in the 2012 MLB Draft the Reds select Tanner Rahier...He was the 34th best prospect and the best available when the draft began today...Experts say that he could have been drafted just after the Reds 1st pick at 14 last night...Drops all the way to the Reds, deemed singable with a Pete Rose type game too him according to the experts. Tanner Rahier Rank: 37 Palm Desert HS (Calif.), Sr. Height: 6'2", Weight: 205 Position: SS DOB: 10/12/1993 Bats: R, Throws: R Rahier isn’t taking the most typical path as a Draft prospect.

June 5, 201214 yr Author 2nd Round Draft Pick (#78) -Tanner Rahier, SS, HS California Scouting Report Bat: He has big power potential in the future, though he needs to hone in his swing some as he is a bit aggressive. Defense: He isn’t likely to stick at shortstop, but he has the tools to make the slide over to third base with a strong arm, solid range and good hands.
June 5, 201214 yr Author PerfectGame.org David Rawnsley: If the Reds get this done, and I expect they will, Tanner Rahier is one of the best values in the draft at this point. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't hit at the professional level. If he fails to get to the ML's it won't be through lack of effort, either. Frankie Pilierre at Scout.com Frankie Piliere: Reds take Tanner Rahier. There he goes. I bet the Reds are quite capable of signing him. Frankie Piliere: I'm a big Rahier fan. He's going to hit but some concern he outgrows SS
June 5, 201214 yr Author With what most would say was a reach on a few picks yesterday...The Reds saved enough money to be able to sign a first Round Talent with their 4th pick and their 2nd Round pick...Other teams couldn't afford to go over slot for him today in order to get him signed, the Reds can...And they still drafted great talent in the 1st Round in what is a weak draft class...
June 5, 201214 yr Tanner Rahier @trahierss Excited to be selected by the Reds organization! Thankyou for everyone who has been a part of my development as a person and a player #Reds
