Harold Reynolds compared him to young Adam Jones even before he knew M's would take him. His favorite player...Adam Jones.

Very happy. On TV now and is very intelligent and only 20. Solid kid and a big kid. 6'4" 200 lbs at 20. Thought as possible overall #1 pick. I am happy.

Reynolds said he was his #1 pick...better than Jack saying that.

I would have been excited with either him or Groom and we had a choice at either. Didn't think we had a chance at either so :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

Hmm.... quite odd. Was there a reason he dropped? Most had him pegged #1 overall and if not #1 overall the first hitter off the board.

The only thing I read as to why he dropped was because some worried about his competition at Mercer. Voters didn't worry since they voted him player of the year.

The only thing I read or heard was the same as what AZ already mentioned.

My personal opinion is that I think this draft had less talent separation as previous drafts so a lot of the top 30 or 50 guys had similar scouting grades so it just came down to specific organizations putting more value on different skills. Also I think there were a lot of teams that had guys rated really high, example: Braves taking Ian Anderson at 3, so with a lot of pitchers going early it gave us a chance to take him. I think we got a steal I am really happy with the pick.

Yah I'm thrilled with the pick too. Nice to get a power prospect to replenish our outfield once Cruz moves on. Feel like we haven't had a great (let alone decent) power outfielder since Griffey outside of Cruz but that was recent and he DHs sometimes.

3B Joe Rizzo with pick 50.

Hits lefty. 5 foot 9

Kinda sounds like he can swing it but might not be able stay at third. Might have to move to outfield but from what I heard doesn't seem super athletic.
