Geez, having trouble finding anything on this kid. Will post something when I find it.

[BringBackMagic]

With a truly untrained eye, I have to say I really don't like his delivery at all. eek

[Mackus]

His scouting video on MLB.com doesn't look too promising to my untrained eyes, not much velocity or movement and his mechanics look real jerky. It was from over a year ago though, so hopefully he's added some size and velocity. Was throwing low 80's though.

It will be real interesting to hear Jordan talk about all these picks later in the day. Get some actual perspective on what they think each of these kids can do.

1.54 era, 77.1 innings, 89k 25bb .198 ba against

also hit .346/.419/.923 with 12 hrs in 78 abs

[DocJJ]

Krol, who went a few picks later, was much more highly rated.

In Jordan I trust!

Jordan will say they are all good picks; what else do you expect him to say?

I want to know what upside he sees in these guys and to explain why he picked them, which he will.

His stats look nice.

I gotta assume though at some point they just start picking for organizational depth.

[TJ Wrangler]

I've seen far worse deliveries than this.

Not in the 7th round they don't.

His stats were decent. And like I said that video is from Spring 2008, so a lot can change in that time.

[ThisIsOurHouse]

How much of a commitment to San Diego does he have, will we likely sign him?

Certainly not this early.

I sort've stop paying attention around Round 20 or so. Then I let the folks who follow this stuff more closely tell me who after that is worth paying attention to.
