1990 BLB Amateur Draft

[Clay]

PICK ANALYSIS:

Washington Bats select Don Bolton (SP) - Rice University (1.18)

OSA Current: 4-4-2
OSA Potential: 5-5-4

What We Know:
- 14.2 K/9
- 101 MPH Fastball
- 29 homeruns, 29 games

What We Like:
- Doesn't walk a lot of batters
- Experienced and developed
- Above average stamina potential

What We Fear:
- He may never develop a third pitch
- My scout's opinion has declined since '88
- Mediocre personality (leader, intelligence, work ethic)

What We Think:
If can develop a third pitch, he is easily the best starting pitcher in the draft besides Coates. If he doesn't develop a third pitch, he is a right-handed Joe Negron. At the very least should be a very interesting prospect to watch develop.

Really? I say I'm going to do these throughout the draft and you steal it from me? This is why I can't have nice things.

It cost me an arm, a leg, and my innocence, but Anton Rivera is worth every penny.

[Clay]

A lot of people on Draft Lists coming up, so after the Syracuse pick we should jump a little quickly.

[Delandis]

Looks like picks are starting to deviate a bit from who my scout thinks is creme de la creme.

Tell your scout to get back to me in 1995 when Rivera hits 40 home runs.

I think he's got also got a minor in psychology too if you ever feel like you need to talk.

[Jake]

If anyone wants to move up, nows your chance. Stuck between two guys and I can't pull the trigger. Give me about 20 minutes. Sorry.

[Jake]

Took SP Alex Torres. I think he'll be pretty good. Safe pick compared to the guy I debated who my scout thinks will be an absolute stud, but I don't know if I trust my scout on that kinda guy.

He's not in my top 100 and he's behind at least 2 guys named DH Sandwich Round. I'm a little worried about my scout . . . or yours.

Went with Canadian RF Tim Matte. He was the top OF left on my board. A bit of a gamble but I really wanted an OF with my 1st round pick and there wasn't anybody else left who I really loved.

[Delandis]

Wasn't on my radar either, however, on the other hand I think Wilmington has had two great picks so far with Agulilar and Mendoza. Our scouts have similar minds.

I actually debated him at 1.17. Not a feeder league guy so I held off, but almost pulled the trigger.

[BradZ]

Love Nesty Garcia to Los Lunas. Doesn't have the power profile of a 3B and doesn't look like he can play 2B unless he grows a bit on his fielding ratings (double play), but he looks like he should be able to hit all day long.

[Jistic]

Fucking Maine! That was my 2nd round pick ya bastard.

[Plastic]

well crap... I didn't realize I was on auto. Have no idea who the guy I picked was...
