Why would you take Moore ahead of Kershaw or Felix?

Comment on How Division III Players Become Draft Prospects by Kim Broyles

Kim Broyles — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:42:58 +0000

I have a son who plays DIII at Bluffton University. He is in his senior year and has broken many school records for individual season and the overall records. He was named First Team HCAC, 2011 All-Buckeye State Team, 2011 All-Buckeye State Dream Team, 2011 Third Team All Region and was recently named 2012 Pre-Season All America. He also just received an invitation to play baseball in Chicago this summer. Baseball is my son’s life as well as getting his education. So to say that “Typically, however, players recruited by D3 schools are of the late-blooming type and/or have zero interest in professional athletics or have never seriously considered it a possibility. Instead these players tend to recognize that they are good, love the game, and want a quality undergraduate education. For many of these athletes, baseball has never once been the most important thing in their lives and likely never will be” is completely false in my son’s case.

Pizzle: Come on tit! Rickatthee: since we don’t have access to the m.d. reviews on these guys, we have to assume they passed whatever physical exams they needed to pre-draft. that means rendon’s hit tool is beyond equal and that he is healthy enough to let it carry him. if we find out that he was indeed unhealthy prior to the draft, well, then we were wrong with rendon.

Dee. I think Rendon is a better than solid prospect, but I’m not quite sure I agree with the level of confidence you have in him. I don’t think he is without flaws, namely injuries, and I would say this ranking is appropriate but maybe a little high. Just my two sense.

Rendon’s swing looks familiar. Maybe a guy named Steve taught him everything he knows?

Comment on Top 50 Prospects: #8 – Trevor Bauer by Franco

Great rundown on Bauer and a bold prediction on his future Cy Young awards. I was able to spend a lot of time with him last week in California and you quickly see how much of a baseball nerd he is. And I say that in a good way. Great kid, who was also very nice.

Interesting fact that Bauer told me. He starts every pitch he throws up and in.
