I did one of these last year so it was pretty easy this time around. But I like to just get a good picture of how the Draft classes are performing. So I created a simple excel spreadsheet listing each class by tab and some very basic stats for each year. We really are pitching deep, even the BP looks like some very interesting pieces coming up and some of those guys will be fast movers.
Here are some off the top of my head thoughts on these guys.
2015:
Custred (rd 31) -- age 23, so I hope they move him faster. put together two very solid years.
Phillips (rd 17) -- age 22. moved all the way to Carolina this year.
Lewis (rd 9) -- almost 24, moved to Carolina this year. two solid years.
Weigel (rd 7) -- I didn't realize he was a 7th rounder and that he had 135 Ks in Rome
Withrow (rd 6) -- K machine, needs to get walks down.
Just really appreciate Soroka/Riley/Minter. Those numbers are really good.
2016:
Our HS did great in the GCL.. Wentz needs to drop the BB.
We will need to remember Brandon S white.. he had a good year.
Watts is a goofy looking fellow, but had a good rookie campaign.
Clouse is just insane
James might be a watch list next year.
