Tampa Bay's director of scouting R.J. Harrison said he was "tickled" to
find catching prospect Luke Bailey available when the Rays' turn came up
in the fourth round.
Harrison knew it was a high-risk, high-reward pick, and another player that
Tampa Bay had scouted with a recent injury. But Bailey was just too good to
pass up.
So with the 139th pick of the First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday, the Rays
took Bailey, out of Troup County High School in Georgia, despite his having
had Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery on his elbow in May, a fact that
likely caused him to drop from a potential top-10 pick entering the spring.
It was Tampa Bay's third pick in the first four rounds of a player with some
injury -- first-round pick LeVon Washington had surgery on his labrum this
past fall, and second-round pick Kenneth Diekroeger had his senior season cut
short due to a knee injury.
That didn't cause much hesitation for Harrison or vice president of baseball
operations Andrew Friedman, who couldn't pass up the potential of Bailey,
ranked the No. 7 overall prospect in Baseball America's top 100 in 2008.
"We do a tremendous amount of due diligence on the medical side, and we feel
like we have a tremendous medical staff that is in a good position to get
them back healthy," Friedman said. "We would not have taken them if we felt
like it was something significant or would put them in a position to not
necessarily get at their tools. We feel like, with our training staff, that
we're going to be in a good position to get them on the field."
Bailey is 6-feet, 198-pounds and set team records last season with a 1.082
slugging percentage, 105 total bases, 61 RBIs and 17 doubles while batting
.505. This year, he was hitting .569 with six home runs and 30 RBIs until
late April, when he injured his elbow while pitching in a relief appearance.
The Tommy John surgery was performed by acclaimed surgeon Dr. James Andrews,
also the Rays' team doctor.
"In the industry, an injury like that makes everybody take a step back,"
Harrison said. "But we think he was one of the better young catchers in the
Draft."
Bailey has a scholarship offer to play for Auburn University, though Harrison
believes he'll choose to sign with Tampa Bay.
"This kid wants to sign, he wants to get out and play, he wants to be a big
leaguer," Harrison said.
Bailey headlines a second-day Draft class that was comprised mostly of
position players, though several pitchers were taken in the middle rounds.
Eight of Tampa Bay's first 10 picks were position players. Catcher was
considered a position of emphasis for the Rays, though Bailey is the sole
catcher they've selected so far.
Round 5
Jeffrey Malm, 1B, Bishop Gorman HS (Nev.)
There was likely no better two-way player in the state of Nevada this year
