mlb draft - Goalpost - 05-07-2019
Hard to believe that the draft for baseball is only about a month away. The draft is said to be weak in pitching and stronger in hitters. The Reds draft 7th, and then 49th. The Reds traded a pick in the 30's, a competitive balance pick, to the Yankees this year. Early forecasts are predicting the Reds take the LHP from TCU. Here is a list of some of the top prospects...

Hate to say so, but I wouldn't be too shocked if they pick another 3rd baseman first..even if it's not a top priority.

I don’t really follow College Baseball but it would be nice to get a College starting pitcher that slots in that area.
RE: mlb draft - CJD - 05-07-2019
Yea, I don't follow college baseball in the slightest. I would love to see us draft a good college pitcher though. Our starting pitching this year has been surprising, but I still would like to see some young guns coming up through the minors (currently, all we're looking at is Santillan, Gutierrez and eventually Greene as legitimate starting pitching prospects). And all three of them are right handers. So a left handed college pitcher would be quite the valuable prospect!

If I remember correctly, after the 2018 draft, Cincinnati commented on selecting mostly field players two years ago, they went with mostly pitching last year and they were going to focus on field players again for this draft. But that was a year ago. They may have seen a couple of stud arms pop up that they didn't expect.

Am I the only one who has a gut feeling Greene will become a relief closer when it's all said and done? He wouldn't be the first pitcher they did that move with.. Too bad he's not Cuban.

Maybe that would be a better role for him.

Most draftniks have the Reds picking pitcher Lodolo first out of TCU.. After that it's anyone's guess.. I'd love to see Vaughn or Witt Jr fall to us, but that ain't happening..
RE: mlb draft - samhain - 05-28-2019
I'd like to see them get the pitcher from TCU. Get a college arm that won't need to be in the minors for the next 4 years.

some say he is not starter material. I don't know him.
RE: mlb draft - cinci4life - 06-03-2019
Reds take Nick Lodolo.
RE: mlb draft - CJD - 06-03-2019
It makes sense. I like the pick.
RE: mlb draft - Yojimbo - 06-03-2019
Keith Law’s projection is mid-rotation or bullpen.

MLB.com had him at 42. Baseball America had him at 39.
Big kid at 6'4. Home run derby winner. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/rece-hinds-wins-under-armour-home-run-derby/vi-AABRloj
RE: mlb draft - psychdoctor - 06-04-2019
The kid that the Cincinnati Reds drafted in the third round will not likely sign. He was projected to go into mid 30s. If he does it would be quite a signing for the farm system

Possibly the same for the second rounder. He’s already committed to LSU. They both have similar profiles as average to below average third basemen with lots of power.

The guy in the 3rd round may be able to play catcher.

The Reds could just pay him as if he was drafted higher.
