Another guy to keep an eye on is Courtney Hawkins (HS OF/P). I like him as an OF and feel he would be a great pick if he makes it to 19 as well.

Biggest issue is how many times he swings and misses and he has shown no improvement this year so I am starting to cool on him a touch.

But honestly, no one is truly going to know the strength of this draft until 4, 5, or 6 years from now.

They may be off the board but it’s also possible that they aren’t.

Yadi is tough and durable, but he won’t last forever and it’s time to get someone who can replace him in 5 years. Shortstop, of course, is our other big concern. No star potential in the minors, although I want to see what Ryan Jackson can do, plus one of Matt Williams, Garrett Wittels, Greg Garcia, Vance Albitz, Kenneth Peoples-Walls and Sam Tuivailalalala (hey I think I know that song! Hum a few more bars.) might just pan out to be above average. So drafting any of these shortstops would be fine with me: Russell, Cecchini or Carlos Correa with our second pick.

The ball just seems to rocket off the bat on every swing in that video.
