June 6, 201313 yr Haven't seen anything on here about this....Kicks off tonight at 7 pm. Mark Appel (was chosen #8 overall last year by the Pirates, who couldn't sign him) and Jonathan Gray (RHP, Oklahoma) are the top two prospects, with Colin Moran (3B, UNC) and Kris Bryant (3B, San Diego) as other potential #1 picks. Top HS prospects are a pair of GA OFers, Clint Frazier and Austin Meadows, RHP's Kohl Stewart and Trey Ball, and C Reese McGuire....Lots of talented HS catching prospects in this class. Reds pick #28. Have seen numerous projections for the pick, none of which are ever the same. :idunno:
June 6, 201313 yr Randy Parker will no doubt get drafted in the 1st or 2nd round. Does anybody remember a kid out of high school that was drafted by MLB and the NBA the same year?
June 6, 201313 yr Author Randy Parker will no doubt get drafted in the 1st or 2nd round. Does anybody remember a kid out of high school that was drafted by MLB and the NBA the same year? Dave Winfield was drafted by 4 different professional leagues. Only reason I know that is he was doing a radio interview a while back and I remember it being mentioned.
June 6, 201313 yr Author Hunter Green from Warren East has a chance to go first round. Hunter Green, LHP The MLB.com write up: A lanky lefty from the Kentucky high school ranks, Green interests some because of his projectable body and stuff. His fastball will touch the low 90s at times and it's easy to see more velocity coming as he physically matures. While he's had some delivery issues that impact his control and command, they seem correctable. That should help him throw his sharp, biting curve more consistently to go along with his sinking changeup. It's all about projection for the southpaw, but a team that thinks Green can fulfill his potential will be interested in taking him early on in the Draft.
June 6, 201313 yr Author The other Top 100 prospect from KY is Clinton Hollon, RHP, from Woodford County The MLB.com write up: The Kentucky high school product, while not the biggest guy in the world, has some serious arm strength. He can get his fastball up to the mid-90s with a decent breaking ball to go with it. He even shows some feel for a changeup, giving him the chance to have a full repertoire of at least Major League average pitches. Hollon has a similar frame to Jeremy Guthrie, and that might be his ceiling. More than anything, though, he needed to show he was healthy this spring after leaving the East Coast Pro Showcase with forearm tendinitis and not pitching for the rest of the summer. He was doing just that, throwing well during the regular season in Kentucky, perhaps allowing him to quietly climb back up Draft boards.

June 7, 201313 yr Griffey Jr and Chipper will be the first #1 overall picks to make the HOF. That's pretty incredible.
June 7, 201313 yr The pitcher from Stanford (Appel) that was the #1 overall pick this year was the #8 overall pick last year. He turned down a $3.8M signing bonus. Was it worth it? Slot money for the #1 overall pick is close to $8M. He wins.
June 7, 201313 yr Two KY high school kids taken in the 2nd round - first time that's happened since 1997. Clinton Hollon went to Toronto and Hunter Green went to the Angels. Big time.
