Mountcastle is Nolan Reimold.  Playing shortstop young. 

Without the eye.

Adam Hall started playing baseball here in Bermuda and I was his first LL coach. He was always going to be a player. Had batting cage in his back yard, pitching machine and was one of those kids who would show up early and stay late. Great kid, and we won our local LL title here with him as our anchor. Also represented bermuda in the region.

 

Great kid and I am so proud.

I think he's more Adrian Marin than Ryan Mountcastle.  I like the pick.  I like that he was helping the struggling pitchers out.  

That's blasphemous! Let us celebrate with unreasonable expectations for a day! ?

Undersized college shortstop with speed.  He's taller than Brian Roberts, but if he can be a similar player, even if he eventually moves to 2B, that would work for me.

You might not want to project him as such.... but he is very comparable to Dustin Pedroia.

Good point about signability; it's easy for us to judge these picks on talent alone but signability is just as important.  Who knows what kind of numbers these kids' reps are putting out.  That being said, hopefully we can go underslot with him to make up for potentially having to go overslot with DL.

I'd forgive a lot to sign DL Hall, as much upside as almost anyone in the draft.

I'd love to have a young Pedroia on this team.     Sign me up!   A young BRob would be fine, too.

Looks like he's got his heart set on signing with the O's.

Good, hopefully they can save a few bucks.

3rd/4th round profile, should be savings to give to Hall. 

[Number5]

I was wrong on that one.  Overslot.  Did not see that coming.
