June 5, 201214 yr Author The Reds have had a great draft with a mix of High Potential High Schoolers and College Guys that can step right into the Minor League system and fill holes and move quickly
June 5, 201214 yr Author I was hoping they'd go with Isler or Malie there, but hopefully if they're still around in round 5... I think if the Reds want Isler he is still there with the next pick, after that probably not...I hope they go with him too...As for Maile I think he will be around for a couple more Rounds...
June 5, 201214 yr Author Ty Buttrey a HS pitcher and the 35th best prospect has finally been drafted by BOS at pick 151...This draft hasn't went they way many thought, but the MLB draft is very hard to predict...
June 5, 201214 yr We're coming up to about where Isler was projected. When talking to Luke I got the notion that if he's drafted anywhere after the first 10 rounds, chances of him returning to UK are pretty good.
June 5, 201214 yr Author The #1 Prospect in KY is still available...Walker Buehler is a RHP from Henry Clay in Lexington, he is the 50th best player according to BA...
June 5, 201214 yr I'll also mention that I know next to nothing about either Isler or Maile, just that they're local kids and I'd like to see them come up through the Reds organization.
June 5, 201214 yr Author We're coming up to about where Isler was projected. When talking to Luke I got the notion that if he's drafted anywhere after the first 10 rounds, chances of him returning to UK are pretty good. If I had too guess he will go before the 10th...However he would probably be a whole lot higher if he returned to school still...I think he goes in the 6th or 7th Rounds by looking at the guys that are still out there...
June 5, 201214 yr Author 4th Round Pick (#142) – Jon Moscot, RHP, Pepperdine Scouting Report Fastball: Works 90-93 MPH with his 4 seamer and 89-91 with his two seamer. Change up: Circle change up in the 80 MPH range. Split Finger: Low 80’s that he uses mostly against left handers. Slider: Low 80’s that he uses mostly against right handers. Command: One of his better attributes, made good improvements from 2011 to 2012 in that department. Very nice looking pick...Solid 3 or 4 Starter potential...
June 5, 201214 yr Author In Round 5 #172 the Reds select Mason Felt a LHP from Hebron Christian Academy in Georgia...He is ranked #309 on BA... Mason Felt 6'3", 200 Signed Oregon State Nice pitcher's build, room to fill out and get stronger. Leg tuck delivery, tall at release, some effort and fall off, high 3/4's arm slot. Fastball to 89 mph, maintains velocity well from the stretch, big downer curveball for strikes, good feel for change up with some fade. Works quickly and throws strikes.
June 5, 201214 yr Author There is still talent out there, I know it for the simple fact that Isler and Maile are still out there :clap: After the 10th Round the talent level takes a hit unless you want too draft a HS kid and take your chances on signing him...Last year the Reds did this with Amir Garret...
June 5, 201214 yr Author Apparently if not for the new rules the Cubs would have picked Appel... 2012 MLB Draft: Chicago Cubs Would Have Selected Mark Appel If Not For New Slot Rules - The Deep Dish - SB Nation Chicago
