Eh, Boyd is just hittable. He's a #5 SP or at best #4.

Yeah I think it was Keith Law who said his fastball is very straight and hittable. I think a #5 is probably his slot....4 definitely being his ceiling best case. Im very intrigued to see Fulmer though, maybe its just cause hes from the Mets but I feel like he could be better than Norris.
Fulmer is the best player we got in those deals. I like Norris but I'm not seeing ace in him. He's a #3 to me. Hoping I'm wrong.Quote:

There's nothing wrong with being a good 3 though if that's what he is. There are other good prospects like Aaron Nola from Philly who isn't projected to be a 1....not all high ranked prospects have that ceiling. We'll see....hopefully he's really good. My gut tells me Fulmer will be better than Norris.
I might be getting carried away, but I dont think its going to take very long for Christin Stewart to make it to the bigs. He looks like he might be legit. Hes raking in West Michigan right now
Stewart continuing to rake at West Michigan,....in 43 games batting .307 5 HRS 28 RBI, and an impressive.404 OBP. I cant remember the last time we drafted a position player and the guy actually came out the gate hitting great and showing a ton of promise.

Not a good list. Moya is what he is. Marte isnt' that good either. Lobstein is a 5th SP or long relief guy out of the pen. Jones is still young and raw but most likely is a super utililty guy off the bench. Fulmer is the only guy worth watching.
That high draft pick this year is going to be nice.Quote:

Was DD the main decision maker about who we draft? I think I remember something about Avila being a major influence, but I could be way off. Either way I'm curious if we keep the same draft strategy (injury prone power arms with command issues)Quote:
