    He's the #13 prospect according to whom?

    Paying too much attention to BA and MLB Pipeline.

    This is a serious, serious reach. When you draft third you should be getting a top talent, not a right handed high schooler who had a couple good starts at the end of the season but will need a ton of time and a bit of luck to develop.

    Terrible value at 3. Not at all what you want to see.

    By the time Maitan gets here we'll be flipping Ozzie, Swanson, Mallex, Wisler, Folty because they'll cost too much.

    Our positional talent comes from internationals, I guess.

    I guess.

    I hope.

    I realize this is the ultimate crapshoot and there are guys being paid millions of dollars spending thousands of hours to get this right. I get they've forgotten more than I'll never know but I still feel like we got less than third overall potential in this pick.

    Draft is a crapshoot always. So saving money here could pay off. But man it's tough to pass on Lewis when he seems BPA and fills needs

    Hopefully Anderson can throw 1-0 shutouts consistently.

    Paul Snyder had him as the best pitcher in the draft all the way back in 1993.
