Baltimore Orioles Draft Review
1) Manny Machado, SS, Florida HS: Will hit for average, should develop good
power, likely to remain at shortstop down the line, and relatively polished
for a high school player. The best position player in the class not named
Harper.
3) Dan Klein, RHP, UCLA: Successful college closer with excellent control,
stuff is a tick above average but not spectacular. Won't need long in the
minors.
4) Trent Mummey, OF, Auburn University: All tools are average or slightly
above, has some chance to be a starting player but probably projects best as
a fourth outfielder.
5) Connor Narron, SS, North Carolina HS: Jerry Narron's son, draws oddly
mixed reviews for a bloodline player. Has power, will probably move off
shortstop, doesn't have a lot of speed. Was considered a good bet to attend
North Carolina but going this high might change that.
6) Dixon Anderson, RHP, UC-Berkeley: Big guy at 6-5, can hit 95 MPH, but
secondary stuff is below average and college performance record is
inconsistent. Could turn out to be very good, or he could stall out in A-ball.
7) Matt Bywater, LHP, Pepperdine: Average velocity in upper-80s, but has a
strong curveball and changeup, throws strikes, knows how to pitch, put up
excellent college numbers. Could advance quickly, classic Jamie Moyer
comparisons as finesse lefty.
8) Wynston Sawyer, C, California HS: Possibly an underrated prospect, has
good physical tools but still ironing out his defense and his swing. Was
expected to go to college at UC Riverside, but that might change now.
9) Parker Bridwell, RHP, Texas HS: Very athletic, upper-80s fastball with
more velocity possible, raw. College commitment to Texas Tech, which isn't
the easiest place to pitch; he may do better if he goes pro.
10) Clay Schrader, RHP, San Jacinto Junior College: 93 MPH, good breaking
stuff, closer mentality, could advance more quickly than most JC level
players.
FOUR OTHERS OF NOTE: 11-Alex Gonzalez, RHP, Florida HS; 14-Michael Mosby, 3B,
Wabash Valley CC; 18-Sebastian Vader, RHP, California HS; 27-Austin Urban,
RHP, Pennsylvania HS;
COMMENT: I love the Machado pick, but the rest of the draft strikes me
as...I'm not sure what the word is. I originally wrote "uninspired," but
that's too strong. This isn't a BAD draft. Klein is a good third rounder and
could get beyond role player status, but I don't see Mummey as more than a
reserve at this point. I like Bywater's pitchability, but Anderson strikes me
as the kind of college arm that will perhaps never live up to its potential.
Narron, Sawyer, and Bridwell all have signability issues. All could develop
into fine players, but it will take a lot of time. Schrader has some heat and
I like him. There are some additional signability fliers in the later rounds;
if they could pull in one of those guys it would help. There is just
something about this draft that I can't put my finger on...it's good, I like
several picks, but there's just something missing.
