    “Scouts have raved about Heaney’s quick arm and clean, effortless delivery,” according to the magazine’s draft analysis of the pitcher. “The 6-foot-2, 174-pounder has added 2-3 mph and touches 95 mph. He not only throws strikes, but generates swings and misses. In a down year for left-handed pitching, Heaney is clearly the best college southpaw available.”

    The first eight picks went pretty much as expected, Meek said. But when Mark Appel, a right-hander out of Stanford whom some analysts projected to go in the top two picks, remained undrafted after the first seven selections, Meek said consideration was given to taking him with the Marlins’ ninth pick.

    Missed chance

    Pittsburgh, picking eighth, snatched him just before the Marlins had a chance to get their hands on him.

    “Outside of Appel, everything went as planned,” Meek said. “There were serious discussions regarding him.”

        That is every Left Handed pitchers bottom,its like the Rob Rasmussen pick we made. We are having him start in the minors however by the end of this year or by next year he will be in the bullpen and projects as a RP/LOOGY in the majors.

        As for Appel,NO WAY we would have taken him. The Pirates have 6.6 million to spend and probably 5-5.5 million will go to him. Overall not a bad pick and like Lou said no team has ever said they have too much pitching

            Woke up this morning and realized it wasn't a dream! So proud to be picked by the Marlins! Can't wait to get started.

              I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

              We took him in the 1st round. By the end of this year/next year, he'll still project to be a starter.

              Rasmussen's case is actually different since he doesn't have Heaney's stuff.

                I am talking about Rasmussen-he is starting in Jupiter however by the end of the year or beginning of next he should be in the pen

                Heaney will be with Hope,Reyes,Del Orbe in GBoro next year

                    I think he probably goes to Jupiter immediately. I wouldn't be super surprised if he was in Jacksonville early in the 2013 season.

                          They are saving all their money for Greinke? I think it would be a perfect fit for him.

                              No. 10 overall in '13 RT @zachkleiman35: do we get a pick in the same slot next year or just lose out altogether?
