With the draft tomorrow, I thought I'd do a poll to see who everyone wants Miami to draft.

I don't watch too much high school baseball. (AKA none) So I don't really think I'm qualified to have an opinion on this.
I have seen Rodon pitch, and liked what I've seen from him, but his overuse at NC State does scare me. -
I'm torn between Rodon and Jax. Initially I didn't want a HS player, but I've watched video of Jax and how he goes about himself and I am a fan. I decided to go with Rodon though because he's a college arm who will move through the system rapidly and he will look real good in the rotation with Jose, Heaney, Alvarez and Eeyore.Comment

Rodon or Jackson for me
I wouldn't touch a HS arm at #2. Go Rodon and if he is gone then Alex JacksonLast edited by tjfla; 06-04-2014, 04:53 PM.Comment

When is a player such as Rodon eligible to come up to the majors?Comment
-
As soon as he signs a contract.poopComment
-
Oh wow. Reason I ask is because I saw a Jon Heyman article that mentioned that he could help us in the second half, I'm just not sure if he meant this year or next.Comment
-
He meant this year, but that's unrealistic.poopComment

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodon is in Miami by September 2015, but more realistically, he would be on the Heaney timeframe, so that'll be June 2016.LHP Chad James-Jupiter Hammerheads-

I think a late summer callup in 2015 is somewhat realistic.poopComment

Rodon or Kolek. I'll take Rodon though because he's the best college SP prospect since Strasburg.
I don't know much about Jackson, but I just don't feel good about taking him. Doesn't seem to have that "wow" factor you look for in a top 5 pick.Comment

I want Rodon because I want to have an opinion on who they draft. I can't have an opinion on some 18-year-old whose YouTube videos I've watched for 20 minutes.poopComment

Pretty much. For all I know Jackson is Barry Bonds mixed with Joe Mauer. I just like Rodon and in regards to Kolek 100 MPH fastballs and a .35 ERA catch my fancy.Comment

I want Action Jackson.This post was brought to you by: Dat SEC SpeedComment
