Allie looks like a reliever to me. Not worth the pick here

My hope is obviously Brett Eibner, but I just want another power prospect in the OF out of college. Jarret Parker fits that bill as well. You can never have too many power OFs.

Jonathan Mayo says it's going to be Sammy Solis.

Solis works too. Just didn't have good flow with the other names... I loved the Kobernus pick last year, hopefully we can duplicate that.

Scouting report + video
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=8080130&content_id=7189149

Copied from the report:


Strengths: Three-pitch mix, all of which are at least average offerings. Good idea of how to pitch with decent command.

Weaknesses: The stuff grades out as average and his ceiling is likely limited to a No. 4 or 5 starter. The history with his injured back will concern some.

Summary: College lefties will always get plnety of interest when the Draft rolls around, and Solis might be one of the tougher ones to figure out. He redshirted a year ago due to a herniated disk and back issues will always make some teams nervous. But Solis has a good three-pitch mix -- lively fastball, breaking ball and changeup -- and commands his pitches pretty well. He might not have the highest ceiling in the world, but he also shouldn't take too long to get to the big leagues. If he can prove he's healthy, it's hard to imagine he'll last too long on Draft Day.

I don't like pitchers that throw a curve and slider... too many hanging slurves come from that.

I thought they might take the Longhorn Workman but a lefty always gets an extra look and the Nats do need some lefties in the system.  Detwiller has been slow to develop.

Very true. We are lacking in lefty SP but so is everyone. The more the merrier. I am hoping for Parker with the 81. He would be a steal.

Jarrett Parker from UVA. Keeping my fingers crossed he lasts that long. Would be nice to have a legit CF prospect in the system other than Eury.

Huge + 1. That kind of arm is a big steal this late.
