I know drafting for need is not really the smart thing to do in the MLB Draft but we definitely needed a lefty starting prospect not many that I can think of other than Gonzalves.
I know that an easy comparison for Jay is Sale but is that very accurate? I honestly don't know and am asking. He said on MLBNetwork that he has kind of modeled his game after Billy Wagner as of late. Hopefully that can be a starting like Billy Wagner though.
Really? I haven't seen many people with a list like this. To each his own though and like most have said this draft is so wide open I am not going to disagree. For me though, if we get one of Bregman, Jay, Tate, Allard or Tucker I will be happy.
http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/draft/mock/?season=2015&version=1&source=Keith-Law-Big-Board He has Kevin Newman ranked number 2. I have never heard of him. Why is he not under consideration by the fans for #6?
I am absolutely in love with Bregman! Reminds me so much of Dozier but probably better and could stick at short which is key. Is Guzman the last "good" shortstop that we have had? It would be great to be able to have a shortstop of the future. But if Tate is available, that is who we must take in my uneducated opinion.
I don't know much but from the sounds of it I have to imagine that Stuart Turner is pretty close to a lock to make it to the show. At the minimum, it sounds like he can be Drew Butera.
If Bregman is available at 6 I think and hope that is the way we go. He seems like the real deal to me and my limited baseball knowledge but he just appears to be a baller which I love. Would not mind Koby Allard either or Aiken if he clears medically. To be honest, I could probably be swayed with any of the prospects because I have not done much research but those are three that pop out to me.
Typically what do prospects 11-20 develop into? I guess what should I expect from most of these guys? Most should make the majors at some point I am assuming but as bench players or what? Thanks for any answers I am just curious.
What kind of MLB player can Stuart Turner be? I hear people rave about his defensive capabilities which alone should probably get him to the show but how good can he be? I instantly think of Drew Butera but I have to imagine/hope he is more than that.

Also, Tommy Milone will report to Triple-A Rochester for now. Vargas takes Fuld's place on roster.
Seems a bit odd.
The Padres are getting the #2 prospect in the Angels organization and more for Huston Street. Seems like quite the haul even though the Angels system is not that strong.
