June 5, 200818 yr As one scout put it, "We'll take the best player available, and not draft according to need. Walt can trade anybody". Because we don't have any needs?
June 5, 200818 yr We could use a pitcher or SS or Catcher a lot more IMO The Reds made it. Enough said.:madman: I can remember a lot of the same type of comments when the Reds drafted Bruce a few years back.
June 5, 200818 yr Asking for major jack....doesn'tmake a whole lot of sense...unless they have a trade in the works, to get a second round pick. I dont think baseball can trade draft picks.
June 5, 200818 yr Because we don't have any needs? Sure they have needs, but like he said Walt can trade anybody. I have no problem with the pick. The Reds drafts have been pretty successful the last two or 3 years, and I'll keep my faith in them until they prove they don't know what their doing.
June 5, 200818 yr Best player available according to Reds scouts.Beckham, who the Sox took right after the Reds, was the player I was talking about or Fields. Oh well, hope he develops. I do see, where next selection was a Pitcher....:sssh:
June 5, 200818 yr This isn't the NFL, you don't draft for need, you draft the BPA. If they had him there I don't have a problem with it.
June 5, 200818 yr I'm guessing Votto is in LF next year based on this pick... You think Alonzo is going to be at the ML level next year?
June 5, 200818 yr Author You think Alonzo is going to be at the ML level next year? I don't think he's very far away...
June 5, 200818 yr Author That would be going pretty quick through the system. Which isn't that rare for a guy coming from a place like Miami...
