25. Lariel Andrus, C, Cincinnati Reds: Not much in the way of good catching abilities, would make a good DH. But his hitting prowess is what the Reds like.
Defense: D
Physical: B
Hitting: A
Organization: B+ - Loading up once again with 3 good players in the first round and a good defensive SS in the second makes the Reds have probably the best draft so far.
26. Al Turnbow, RF, New York Yankees: RF is a good place. Hits very well and has lead-off speed.
Defense: B
Physical: B
Hitting: B+
Organization: C+ - Grabbing 3 good hitters was a plus but the pitchers to help the pen was a bit of a bust.
27. Daryl Duncan 1B, Chicago Cubs: He was listed as a DH on my board but I saw through that and would have been my choice with the 17th pick. Nothing like a power hitting 1B even though his health is a little questionable.
Defense: B+
Physical: B
Hitting: A+
Organization: D - After the first pick things went down hill for the Cubs trying to fill with HS players that just doesn't make the grade.
28. Doug Malloy, RP, Kansas City Royals: Not many RP had been taken and KC cashed in on that detail.
Defense: A
Physical: B
Pitching: B+
Organization: C- - After picking so late, by the time the next pick came around there just wasn't much left, but KC took the best available and they were not too shabby, but as ML players could be a slim chance for too many.
29. Chris House, SP, Louisville Swingers: It is late in the 1st round and SP is just not the greatest thing available. House may make a House call, but it will probably be in relief as the pitches just aren't there to be real effective as a SP. He may make a good QB if he remains unsigned.
Defense: B
Physical: A
Pitching: C+
Organization: C- - Selecting 7 pitchers hoping to come up with something viable.
30. Cecil Curtis, RF, Monterrey Corn Dogs: Unknown and unsigned.
Defense:
Physical:
Hitting:
Organization: D - You know you have had a bad draft when the best player could be the DH/1B drafted in the 4th round.
31. Willie Ellis, SP, Las Vegas Slobs: Like the last few SP taken, good, just not quality.
Defense: B
Physical: C
Pitching: C+
Organization: C- - Knowing quality pitching wouldn't be available, Vegas went after RP and a quality PC catcher. If the catcher signs, will raise the overall.
32. Mel Woods, LF, Cincinnati Reds: With the second pick of the 1st round the reds score again with another power hitting fielder, though may be better at 1B than LF.
Defense: C
Physical: B
Hitting: B+
Note: For those of you who are new, I rate the players by their ability. Their scores may lower due to certain factors or raise also.
Defense: scored to the drafted position ability and the ML standards, if the owner has not changed it. If it has been changed, then it is rated to the first assigned position.
Physical: Abilities are assessed and a player may be dinged on weak durability, health, and makeup. Any of those below 65 will drop the grade and patience also if it is well below 50.
Hitting: A power hitter is basically looked at by having a good eye, power and contact, good splits are a plus. A for average hitter, looks at everything but power, power closer to 50 is a plus.
Pitching: It depends on several factors, but the better all of the factors, the higher I rate them. I do not look at FB/GB or velocity. It is mostly based on durability, stamina, control, splits and pitches.
