Is Scooter going to be in the first round?

Just wondering, but where did you have LJ Hoes on your list last year?

Is Scooter going to be in the first round?

He's right around there right now. Anywhere from bottom-third of round 1 to the supplemental. Great bat. He actually looked a little smoother at SS than 2B at the Under Armour game, but his future as a pro is likely 2B.

Just wondering, but where did you have LJ Hoes on your list last year?

He was rated as an OF for me -- 3rd to 5th rounder, I believe. I didn't do these in depth positional breakdowns.

Stidham is probably going to be the Noles shortstop this year. Not that I'd think he could stay there (or at second even). I think his body will limit him to third base when its all said and done.
