17. Pedro Roque, SP, Cleveland Indians: The Indians, oohh that's me, scores again in the middle rounds with a good SP.
Defense: B
Physical: B
Pitching: B+
Organization: D - Actually it was a good draft for the Indians if you look at the players. But we failed miserably because I wanted position players. There were 6 players available that I would have been more than happy with one that went in the next 15 picks.
18. Clarence Valentin, SS, Detroit Detroit: A very good pick that may be better shagging balls in CF. Decent hitter but may be a while before he makes a ML roster.
Defense: A
Physical: B
Hitting: B
Organization: B - Overall the organization did well picking some good position players.
19. Del Estrada, RP, Milwaukee Brewers: The Suds Buds may be happy that the best reliever on their board was available. Not overwhelming in his pitching style, but should be an every day pitcher in the pen.
Defense: A
Physical: A+
Pitching: A-
Organization: ? Went after pitching, but came up empty? I can't see most so I am not sure.
20. Lonny Sanchez, SP, Austin Fightin' Armadillos: A good quality SP for this late in the draft already.
Defense: C
Physical: A+
Pitching: B+
Organization: B Great quality overall especially if the 2nd pick signs.
21. Jay Richard, SS, Toronto Blue Jays: A little weak to be a SS and his health could be an issue, would make a great 3B or a weak 2B.
Defense: B
Physical: B+
Hitting: B+
Organization: B Getting 5 good players with 6 picks was an outstanding job.
22. Footsie Corsi, SP, Salem Mayhem: The "Red Herring" of the draft, sorry weo49. To add insult to injury, to the DL he went in his first start. I have come to the conclusion that you shouldn't draft a player with a funny first name in the 1st round.
Defense: B-
Physical: A-
Pitching: C-
Organization: C+ - Maybe one of the other picks will pull you out of the duldrums. If you were nice this year, maybe the number 2 pick will sign.
23. Vernon Leach, SS, Atlanta Pork-N-Beans: A stretch for him to play SS as I had him playing 2B or 3B. Good hitting ability with lead-off speed.
Defense: B
Physical: A-
Hitting: B+
Organization: C+ - Going after pitching picking late in 1st round is hard but had a modicrum of success. Bubba should fit in nicely.
24. Edwin Cooper, 1B, Jacksonville Beach Boys: Unknown
Defense:
Physical:
Hitting:
Organization: C - With 6 1st round picks, I would have expected more myself, though the position players were pretty good picks, the pitching wasn't.
