2013 Orioles CB round draft pick A - Josh Hart - CF - Parkview HS - Georgia

[elextrano8]

Things I've been reading on this kid say weak arm, no power, middling range and instincts in the field. Not exactly a wow factor happening. I haz a little bit of a draft sadz, especially with Austin Wilson sitting there.

No. The guys on MLB network were raving about his d though.

"Can flat out play center field"

Interesting spread of opinions on that one

[Three Run Homer]

Hart has more power and athletic upside than the Ruettiger/Hudson/Angle line of recent picks. Also seems to have more power and polish than Xavier Avery at this stage. I would have been more excited by Austin Wilson or Jon Denney but this seems like a good pick.

I would guess they have some indication that they can sign him.

[weams]

Bigger than Rickey. Almost as fast.

[weams]

6.51 60. That's good.

Rickey was a 6.40

[weams]

Ah. He ran a 6.49 at perfect game.

... and there he goes at 49 to the Mariners.

Maybe we can trade them an irritating lefty for him in a few years. :scratchchinhmm:

[Bundy]

Can't steal first:drungo:

Can he hit?

[Singleton]

i have no knowledge of Hart but i don't like the profile of drafting a slap hitter this high. hope i'm wrong

[clapdiddy]

How far are they going tonight?

[weams]

On base .538.

[weams]

17 extra base hits in 132 plate appearances.

[weams]

End of the 2nd round.

Including the bonus round?

[Roll Tide]

Can someone explain how we got this pick? I dont know what competative balance means since we finished near the top of the division?

Market size and revenues. Mean we are a poor club.
