What a great night.
What a great night.
Brian Bridges says he will be developed as a corner OFer
I think he'll settle into right field. The most exciting part for me is that he had the best exit velocity amongst amateurs and can barrel fastballs easily. That's exciting!
A college pitching prospect with true ace potential and a switch hitting high school outfielder with among the best bat speed (MLB pipeline said he had the top exit velocity on the HS circuit last year) in this class and defensively can be a plus defender in CF? Hell of a top two so far.
We got the #2 and #23 ranked prospects on Baseball America's list. Not bad.

I think the Reds have done well, but got to be giddy about what the Braves fell into today.
Wow at the draft so far! Never would of believed this time yesterday that Wright would of fell to 5 or Waters to 41. The farm system is insane!
Reds beat us on quantity, but I like Waters better than Downs or Fairchild.
Vientos to the Mets
I love how 5 hours ago I was talking myself into Keston Hiura so that we could take a prep bat at 41.
How the hell is Tristan Beck still on the board?
Tristan Beck is still out there for Round 3. Hopefully the Twins, Reds, Padres, and Rays pass on him.
I base draft success on names of those selected.
Kyle Wright - Not a bad name. Some good possible headlines with the name and it does have a bit of flow to it. I give that name a solid 50/50 chance to be successful. The biggest issue is that it's a bit too safe. I predict he'll be a decent #3 starter.
Drew Waters - I mean... guys... Future HOF.
