They did start Clark and McGonigle in the complex league last year.

Fcl got pushed up a month this year. They may not get the choice. Last year doesn't matter.

It is so weird having competent management.

Remember, he is just a prospect.  You could read glowing reports about how amazing Mize and Torkelson were too

So do you think Tigers will go two -Way and did we do good with Rainer. 

Expand  

I think he will be a SS but it just shows you the ark strength. Between him and Clark there are some flame throwers in the field. I love the pick personally. I'm not a scout and have only seen him play online a couple of times but what I did see he showed up.  

[LongLiveMaroth]

Seattle takes the switch pitcher.

That being said we are getting lefty heavy for our position prospects. Clark, McGonigal, Jung, Rainer.

True but most pitchers are right-handed and isn't right field easier to reach in Comerica ?

I didn't realize that! I hadn't noticed they moved it up. That seems like a odd choice. 

[LongLiveMaroth]

Brewers with first big reach with Payne and Rays grabbing Theo Guillen.

Tigers pick again at 49 and then comp pick at 72. A name to keep an eye on is Chase Harlan.

[LongLiveMaroth]

Orioles pop Honeycutt. If any group can get his hit tool to improve it's them. 

[LongLiveMaroth]

Braves pop Caminiti

I don't like the position players ranked around our #49 spot.

But there's SEVERAL pitchers who look really good around that area... Braylan Doughty, David Shields, Luke Holman, Ryan Johnson, Bryce Meccage, Dasan Hill...

[LongLiveMaroth]

Dante Nori of Northville popped by Philly

PS: If you were talking about #72 I prefer Caleb Bonemer.

Why did that happen?

Per the BA article cited earlier, the 165 player minor league limit played a role. They wouldn't be able to sign and sit pitchers.

[1984Echoes]

White Sox get Bonemer at 43... crap.

[LongLiveMaroth]

Sounds like Rainer got overslot

Tigers grab Owen Hall 

[1984Echoes]

Tigers select Owen Hall, RH HS Pitcher at #49.

[1984Echoes]

Ryan Sloan was still sitting there... I'm assuming he's asking for too much money to sign and no one wants to go that high...
