1989 Draft

[Clay]

Washington's Pick - Pryor = meh... #21 Pitcher, but at least on my radar for the mid-rounds

Los Lunas's Pick - Saldana = #5 Pitcher. Love this pick. True Closer. No convert here.

[Pat]

With the last pick in the first round, the Washington Bats select...

Cy Prior
SP - 18 years old - Heritage Eagles - Florida


My scout has him rated 4-6-8 potential. He had him as the #4 potential player and #4 according to his draft list. He is raw and will take awhile, but there is a lot to love:

-Decent ground ball (57%)
-Great endurance (7)
-Good enough velocity for a 4-stuff (90-92)
-High work ethic (7) and intelligence (6)
-Shown improvement from his Junior season
-OSA has him 4/5/6 potential. My scout, the draft list and OSA has him rated as a legit BLB player. With great upside.

Plus, he pitched a 4-hit shutout against my High School team just a few weeks ago.

[BradZ]

Of course my scout likes the WAS pick. 2nd highest rated SP on the board after Dimmick.

[Pat]

My scout likes Saldana. 6-6-4. If his control develops he should be a lights out closer. 97MPH cheese. 70% groundball. Very solid.

[Ryan]

Saldana 7-7-5
Prior 4-5-5

Pryor was the #3 SP on my board.

I'll have my pick real soon.

[Ryan]

So I spent about 2 hours getting my draft list ready for my first pick and now after today my list is just obliterated.

Thanks A lot guyS.

[Pat]

Carolina Tobs RF Chan-koo Kim - Not familiar.
Los Alamos Bandits SP Marv Metcalf - 5/5/5
Pawtucket Patriots MR Iván Galló - 7/4/6
Sin City Gamblers RF Hugh Gentry - #26 overall player + best name in the draft next to PatSandwich

[liquidcrash]

My scout loves Kim, #4 hitter on my board based on potential. Only 17, has a lot of time in the minors ahead of him if he ever makes it. But if my scout is right, he could be a really good player.

I pick again real soon, so its worth a shot.

Wanna give me Gates for a 10th rounder and a ham sandwich? You know you've been dying to make one of these trades for ages. Be the first.

[Ryan]

The bar has been raised my friend. I'll be needing a Pat sandwich this go around.

[Clay]

LOVE Kim... he was the INT player I almost took at 1.14. Prototypical Colonial.

[Delandis]

Cisco Herrera is who I was hoping would fall to my spot. Dammit.

[Jistic]

Lot's of Pancho's and Cisco's.......I'm guessing maybe one or two people will get that.
