Glad to hear that but I really don't get too excited about this stuff as it is a wait and see on how things progress with any pitcher drafted. For one you hope he stays healthy. I am sure many on this board feel the same way. But I like this pick and glad they went after pitchers.

How do we feel about the draft? I haven’t paid any attention this year.

Only two picks so far, but it seems they made two solid picks. I posted some of the analysis of the two picks previously over the last couple of pages.

It seems they landed a very solid pick in Cole Winn. Virtually every mock draft had him going before #15.

Bout time something fell in our lap in the draft.

Forney is headed to state. He has gained 9 mph on his fastball since July 3, 2016. Here is what I saw about him.

Englert was picked ahead of high-school rotation mate Jonathan Childress, another touted arm who was viewed as a candidate to go in the first five rounds. During his senior season, the right-handed Englert saw his fastball jump a few ticks into the low 90s, and leaned on the offering along with a low-80s slider, curveball and changeup to amass 55.1 consecutive scoreless innings at one point, establishing a new Texas state record. Englert already possesses rare control and command for an 18-year-old, and at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds he also has the build to add more velocity. His commitment to Texas A&M created some signability concerns heading into the draft, though the fact Englert landed with an in-state organization might provide enough incentive for him to forgo college.

Hunter Cole will be worth keeping an eye on as so far he has had a breakout season.

They must see something in this kid that his numbers don't show.

Matt Moore continues to shine.

Sensational catch by DDJ there. Good he's not taking his hitting woes out to CF with him.
