You have to take in consideration salary. If you take below projection guys early, you can sign guys that have sign ability issues later by offering more money.

Where's My Cup of Coffee?
They took Blake Anderson earlier, who was graded as a 7th-10th round guy.

Wow! Brewers drafting some athletes! Jacob Gatewood and now Monte Harrison.
No one would want to play them in a flag football game.

Miami has Tine. 500+ yds rushing in one game. Nothing to sneeze at...

Ugh hope the finals game ends before our pick is in. Probably not though. (Go Spurs)

Mac Marshall is there for the taking. Let's see who they take. Lots of college arms going off the board in a hurry.

Not a bad pick. Supposedly got helium late. Big, strong kid.

Projected in the 50s
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
Because he comes from a tiny town -- Howe, Texas, which has a population of 2,600 -- and didn't pitch on the showcase circuit last summer, Fulenchek was relatively unknown before he impressed scouts with his velocity and projectability at Perfect Game's World Wood Bat Association World Championship last October. He has continued to raise his profile this spring and could be the second high school player drafted from Texas, behind only potential No. 1 overall pick Tyler Kolek.
Fulenchek's best pitch is a hard sinker that runs from 90-94 mph and could get quicker as he fills out his frame. His slider has improved during his senior season, and though it lacks some consistency, it has late bite and could become a plus pitch in the future. He also demonstrates feel for his changeup, though he doesn't have to use it much.
The Dallas Baptist recruit is getting better at repeating his mechanics and commanding his pitches. If he continues to develop like he has in the past year, Fulenchek eventually could become a frontline starter in the big leagues.
