DRAFT REVIEW SEASON 10 1-18

#1

Sidney Martin
Milwaukee
Sturgeon
Age: 18B/T: L/R
Born: Noble, OK
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 4,000,000

With the first pick the Sturgeons hooked this fine looking prospect out of high school. Sidney "My Favorite" Martin Has no weaknesses. He will do it all, Field, Hit ,Power ,Steal bases and is healthy as an ox. The only question I have is how many MVP's ,GG and SS awards will he win??  Grade: A+

#2

Victor Ramirez
San Diego
Salmonbellies
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Marquette, MI
Position(s): 2B/CIF/COF/DH
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,910,000

The Salmonbellies netted this youngster out of High school. Victor"Ola" Ramirez will win several Silver Slugger awards with his hitting prowess. Great baserunning skills with good speed will make him a devil on the bases. His only weakness, and i'm nitpicking now. Is his range is a little low but not so bad he can't play 2nd base. His hitting should make up for any errors on the field. Grade: A+

#3

Wesley Goodwin
Charleston
Tobacco Farmers
Age: 18B/T: L/R
Born: Hyannis, MA
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 5,220,000

The Tabaky Farmers grabbed this youngster out of High School. Wesley "That was a" Goodwin will be smoking line drive homers with great hitting skills. And will burn up the basepaths with speed and baserunning skills. Defensivly he will be good to Roll ,but his range is a tad low. Grade: A  Smoke Dude

#4

Jumbo MacFarlane
Cincinnati
Howlers
Age: 19B/T: L/L
Born: Farmington, NH
Position(s): P (SP1)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,720,000

The Howlers pick up the first Pitcher and the first JC player in the draft. Jumbo "Big Mac" MacFarlne will be a huge part of Cincinnati's future rotation. With Great Stamina,Control,Splits Velocity and two pitches. This cat will be splintering bats in the Bigs soon. Grade: A+

#5

Damaso Gonzalez
Albuquerque
Turkeys
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Georgetown, SC
Position(s): P (SP4)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,630,000

The Turkeys gobbled up the first High School pitcher in this years draft. Damaso"DaGonzo" Gonzalez has great Control, good splits ,Great velocity , 4 M L pitches.And two of them are really good ones. And has good hitting skills for a pitcher. But because of his low Stamina he may be a long reliever or a #5 SP. Grade: A

#6

Reed James
Las Vegas
Rattlers
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Garber, OK
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus:3,540,000

The Rattlers lassoed this High School prospect with the 6th pick. Reed "and write" James can play any position with his defensive skills. He will hit for average with power and has killer speed. About the only thing I can say bad about the kid is ,he has a Temper. But what do expect from a Rattler?? Grade: A+


#7

Omar Perez
Charlotte
Chimps
Age: 22B/T: S/L
Born: Earlsboro, OK
Position(s): 1B
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,440,000

The Chimps signed this first College player in this seasons draft. Omar Perez Is your typical M L 1st base/DH Slugger. He will pick up his share of Silver Slugger awards and may be a regular in the Home Run Derby. But at Age 22 can he reach his projections? He has good health and Make-up , so its possible. Grade: A-

#8


#9

Ryan Olshan
Kansas City
Spittoons
Age: 18B/T: S/R
Born: Alachua, FL
Position(s): C
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,250,000

The Spittons signed the first Catcher in the draft. Ryan "In The Catcher" Olshan Is a big time hitter with  great Eye, Contact and Power. His Pitch calling and accuracy are good but his arm strength , glove and range are low. Most teams will overlook those faults with the homers this kid will hit. Grade: A-

#10

Scott Cookson
Fargo
Prairie Dogs
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Beckley, WV
Position(s): 3B/IF/OF/DH
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3,160,000

The Prairie Dogs collared the first 3rd baseman. Scott "Free" Cookson has good Contact with splits but lacks HR derby power. He has good range,accuracy and arm strength for 3rd, but his glove is a tad low. Still e will be a solid M L 3rd baseman. Grade: B+

#11

Born: Portsmouth, VA
Position(s): P (SP1)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 3.070,000

The Christian Beavers Converted this JC pitcher with the 11th pick. Rheal " Fhunny" Scott Has very good Stamina ,Control, Splits, Velocity and four good pitches. Couple that with some hitting skills and you have a good N L SP. He might have been taken earlier if he had better health projections . So say a prayer that he doesn't get injured. Grade: B

#12

Howard Ruffin
Trenton
Tripods
Age: 18B/T: L/L
Born: Fairview, MT
Position(s): CF
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

The Tripods Scoped out this CF'er and signed him to a minor league contract. Howard "Likes it" Ruffin has all the skills to play Center Field. Great range ,Glove and speed. He will hit for average but not alot of power. Grade: B+

#13

Al Zerbe
Vancouver
Totems
Age: 20B/T: L/L
Born: Enterprise, MS
Position(s): P (SP1)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 2,880,000

My pick in this years draft was a  JC Starting pitcher . Al "Home Run" Zerbe has great Stamina, Control , Splits and velocity. My concern is ,he only has two good pitches so i will need a good pitch calling catcher to stay away from them lousy three pitches. Grade B

#14

Bobby Garland
New Orleans
Hip Waders
Age: 22B/T: R/R
Born: Panhandle, TX
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 2,790,000

The Hip Waders made this college SS thier first pick. Bobby Garland has good hitting projections with great Contact. His defensive numbers are O.K. but that below average arm strength concerns me . Perhaps he may do better at Third. Grade: B

#15

Born: Seattle, WA
Position(s): P (SP2)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Signing Bonus: 2,690,000

The Supersonics flew in and signed this JC pitcher. Felipe "Flippen" Flores has good stamina ,control ,splits and three pitches. Even at age 20 with great health and Make-up he should reach his potential. Grade: B

The Injuns carried off this pitching prospect from Missoula Montana. Magglio Rodriguez has great Control, Splits and Velocity. Of his three pitches ,two are good . His Stamina is low for a starting pitcher but his high durability may make him that dependable long A Reliever. Grade B+

Born: Odem, TX
Position(s): P (SP1)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile
