Moving right along with #9. Cole Tucker with an overwhelming victory at #8. Adding Jin-De Jhang by request. I've got a pretty good idea who winds up at #9, but I've been wrong before. That's why we play the game...



Results thus far.

1 Austin Meadows 21 OF AAA

2 Tyler Glasnow 23 SP AAA/MLB

3 Josh Bell 24 1B/OF AAA/MLB

4 Mitch Keller 20 SP A-

5 Kevin Newman 23 SS AA

6 Ke'Bryan Hayes 19 3b A-

7 Nick Kingham 25 SP AAA

8 Cole Tucker 20 SS A+

I like Will Craig, I think he could be a Billy Butler type, unfortunately that's not the highest ceiling. But a guy that could definitely contribute.



Went with Hearn, I think there is a lot of upside.

I guess I am the only one of the Diaz kick? I feel he would be in the majors by now if he wasn't blocked.

I picked Brault because, you know, he's made it to the majors. 



For 80% of the prospects we pick in the list, if they make it to the majors for even a cup of coffee we'll consider the draft pick a success.  We'll be so lucky of most of these pitching prospects become a Steven Brault. 



I know upside is a big part of the consideration, but it's not all.

I like Diaz a lot as well, but his age is getting up there for "prospect" status. In a couple of rounds I'll probably join you.



Will Craig for me this round although I will admit Taylor Hearn is interesting.

I understand your point, but unless some of these prospects become a lot more than Brault (unless Brault turns into a great starter) the Bucs are screwed.
