2013 Draft General Discussion

[Ralph]

.351/.478/.560 13HR 57/21 BB/K

[Big Z]

That includes 2 triples and 9 doubles.

Also had 85 RBIs and 69 R.

I mean, he can definitely rake and he has patience. Will he gain some power over the next couple of years? Who knows.

[Ramp]

RBI and R are meaningless

and yes, his power should go up as he matures and puts on muscle

[Big Z]

Keith Law said last month that he's the most pure hitter available in the draft and expects him to go top 5.

[emkayseven]

So what are you not a fan of? If Bryant didn't exist you would still not be a fan of his?

I don't think either fall to us btw

[Big Z]

Well of the power at first, but after reading up on him he seems like a safe pick.

Who do you see taking him?

Bryant is not passing the Rockies in my opinion and from what I've read, Moran should be anywhere from 5-10.

[sports24/7]

Let's not make Moran out to be some kind of star. He has his limitations. Hitting for average is his only plus tool. He may never hit for power, there's no guarantee he stays at 3B, and his upside may be limited. Law ranks him as the 9th best player in the draft. Baseball America 7th. Jonathan Mayo 6th. There is a lot to like, but he may not be the BPA if he's there. I do think the Marlins would take him if he were, but if they took Frazier, Meadows, Shipley, or a handful of other guys over him I wouldn't be upset.

[Todd]

All draftees have limitations and questions.

Of course, but people are making Moran out to be a star in the making and an easy choice at 6. There could very well be better players available. I wouldn't be against them taking him, but Shipley, Stewart, and both HS OFers from Georgia are all probably better prospects and at the very least all but one of them will be there at 6.

[tjfla]

Our final 3 are Austin Meadows,Braden Shipley,Hunter Renfroe

Seems that Meadows is who we are going for tho

[Bobbob1313]

It's gonna be fun to watch people get mad if the Marlins take a high schooler, or other people get mad if they take a college player.

[tjfla]

We are NOT looking at Manaea,he wants more than 1.5 million to sign.

However if we draft Meadows at #6 we will be looking for an arm like Crawford,Hunter Harvey,Windle,Blair at #1S or #2. Also if Hunter Dozier is around we might pop on him

[Big Z]

Why the fuck would they want Hunter Renfroe?

Also, will they go after Moran if available?

Cheap and like Option Z. They are really looking at Meadows and Shipley but Renfroe would be the pick(Cut a deal) if both of them are gone

and prolly not. Keep hearing he wants 3.5 or more and we are not willing to pay him slot. The only reason Meadows is even being considered is because his people said he would sign for slot. If Meadows said he wanted more,then Shipley would be the only guy we would even consider.

Because Mike Olt is looking better at AAA.
