Mallex Smith seems like a 70+ speed guy that actually swings a nice bat and has reasonable plate discipline. Could he be Michael Bourn 2.0 even with his lesser pedigree?

11:21 Kiley McDaniel: Could be. He’s still in that area where his median result is a bit below that, but Bourn is definitely in play.

Comment From Charlie
Austin Riley whats his future power look like?

11:28 Kiley McDaniel: 55 raw and could get to it in games, so 19-22 homers roughly speaking

Comment From Barley
Any notable notes on prospects you’ve seen in the last week or two?

11:59 Kiley McDaniel: Saw Brandon Finnegan, Hector Olivera as the headliners in a AAA game last week. Finnegan’s stuff was down a bit but that’s to be expected when he’s getting stretched out and turning into a SP. Olivera needs to shorten up his swing a bit and he’s big but should be fine at 3B.Saw Rome-Asheville two days ago and the Asheville lineup was impressive. I like Dom Nunez and my guy Forrest Wall just keeps making the 30+ picks he lasted in the draft look like an awful decision…which is what I said would happen pre-draft http://www.scout.com/mlb/sc…

Dustin Peterson just keeps hitting.

Lien is having a great year. Put himself back in the conversation.

I think 55 is underselling Austin's power potential. He's at least a 60 if not 65 in power potential. I see him as more of a 25-30 HR guy than a 19-22 HR guy. His biggest issue is that he does swing and miss a good bit, so I'd say his overall hit tool is probably 50-55 but the raw power is there.
