However, it only takes one team to believe in him. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you as well, it is hard to believe that all of the sudden this kid suddenly forgot how to play in the span of about 5 months. But reports are that he really did look much better in summer showcases21 and Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658190080916552207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200609650374483300.post-28442735943477397712008-04-10T20:57:00.000-07:002008-04-10T20:57:00.000-07:00Thanks for the reply.

I just found it curious that apparently so many scouts who were drooling all over him just a few months, or even weeks, ago have now changed their tunes.<BR/><BR/>Top 3 rounds, yes, still good obviously. But if he drops even slightly from his previous early-to-mid-1st grade, does he opt for U of Miami instead of the pros?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200609650374483300.post-33843177424926927712008-04-10T05:52:00.000-07:002008-04-10T05:52:00.000-07:00I do not think it is a result of - "his batting av...I do not think it is a result of - "his batting avg. is down, or he only has 3 home runs"<BR/>its more of the scouts do not like what they see in terms of ability to make consistent contact. his power rates a 50 on the scale, and his defense is above average/good..those are the two things he has going for him and you could say that about alot of guys. <BR/>some scouts thought he looked stiff at the plate and his swing lacked loosness<BR/>with all that said, he still will go in the top 3 rounds..which in the grand scheme of things is pretty darn good.21 and Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658190080916552207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200609650374483300.post-68017348984231159112008-04-10T00:54:00.000-07:002008-04-10T00:54:00.000-07:00Why is everybody so down on Harold Martinez now?

Furthremore, they got nothing for Andruw Jones leaving because they were afraid he would accept arbitration. <BR/><BR/>So, the only top 50 pick they have is a result of Ron Mahay going to KC.<BR/><BR/>If they did have the 18th pick I think they would love to get Gordon Beckham. Assuming he would be gone, I think some names would be Isaac Galloway, Jemile Weeks, and Brett Devall (they love high school LHP)<BR/><BR/>As for their 40th pick, I think if Josh Fields was there they would redraft him. He now looks worth the asking price he had last year. He already has 8 saves for UGA. <BR/>Another name is Allen Dykstra, 1b/3b from Wake Forest. He is 6'5 and the Braves will need to fill both those positions in the future.21 and Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658190080916552207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200609650374483300.post-7008395560779448242008-04-07T12:07:00.000-07:002008-04-07T12:07:00.000-07:00Who are the Braves likely to take with their first...Who are the Braves likely to take with their first pick in the supplemental round?<BR/><BR/>If they were still picking at 18 in the first round who would they have taken with that pick?<BR/><BR/>nice siteqazxswedchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04710890514122092835noreply@blogger.com
