6th overall pick- Victor Romero (Hyannis Mets). This was actually a tougher pick for me than I thought as there were two bats I was debating about. I was really looking for the BPA at this point. Offensively, I'm pretty comfortable with the depth I have at various positions throughout my minors. Romero seemed to be the best bat available and is having a monster season- .500+ OBP with 12 HR. I need to start planning for a post Dave Robinson future and I can be patient with Romero.

In my scout's opinion (which differs from OSA) I have several quality OF in my farm. I have 4 guys who I think can be impact starters down the road which I'm pretty happy about.

Yay!

Working on my pick, will have it up shortly

Kitchens is going to be special but couldn't pass on a potential lefty ace with high stamina.

As for Gladden, nice pick by Davenport. His stats are incredible and his defensive vesatility is very impressive for a potential power bat. I thought he would fall to 10ish.

SP Jayden Parker has a chance to be the best pitcher in this draft.

might be the first compliment of a draft choice I've gotten on this thing.

Still looking to move the 13th overall pick. Id be willing to move Tom Bell as well.

Heading into work. Pick should be in the next hour

Had Gladden and Kitchens as my 1 and 2 after the pitchers went so one of them was going to Davenport. Loved Kitchens contact and avoid Ks potential but had Gladden first as he had better power numbers that I like to see in a corner infielder and better defense

[Carlos]

Nice pick for Davenport. I didn't expect Gladden to go so high, but he was on my shortlist.

Dave Gladden was a player I thought could fall to later in the draft.

But the fact he was taken so early shows me that Davenport is paying attention. Great pick.

[Z]

Nice pick for Davenport. I didn't expect Gladden to go so high, but he was on my shortlist.

[PaulC]

Depending on the how the draft goes, the 10th pick may be available for a later first and a second, or later first and a solid pitching prospect.

[PaulC]

Damn. He was supposed to fall to 10th.
