16th Round, 257th Overall: SS Cy Gair
Former School: Birmingham HS Bulldogs
1931 Stats: .273/.368/.334 (91 OPS+), 38 PA, 0 HR, 1 RBI, -0.2 ZR (SS)
Career Stats: .275/.320/.334 (98 OPS+), 374 PA, 0 HR, 43 RBI, +1.1 (SS)
Summary: He wants a bonus and I'm not going to give it to him. Instead, he'll head to Glendale Community College. He's not bad, but doesn't really have much potential.

17th Round, 273rd Overall: RP Karl Fowler
Former School: Central Ohio Aviators
1931 Stats: N/A
Career Stats: 11-14, 96.2 IP, 7.17 ERA (65 ERA+), 2.00 WHIP, 64 K
Summary: He didn't pitch at all as a junior, and he was awful when he was on the mound. He will be released.

18th Round, 289th Overall: C Joe Rainbow
Former School: Somerville HS Generals
1931 Stats: .143/.324/.250 (69 OPS+), 37 PA, 1 HR, 5 RBI, +0.6 ZR (C)
Career Stats: .275/.320/.334 (98 OPS+), 374 PA, 0 HR, 43 RBI, +1.2 (C), -6.8 ZR (2B)
Summary: He may not look like it, but he's actually a valuable prospect, at least to BNN. Somehow, he's ranked as the 61st best prospect in all of baseball and I'm not quite sure why. My scout likes him too, remarking his above average bat speed and good sense for the zone. He doesn't really have a position defensively, but supposedly his bat is enough to carry him to the big leagues. I don't have expectations for him, but I may have got a lucky steal with Rainbow.

19th Round, 305th Overall: SP Bill Deaton
Former School: College of San Diego Friars
1931 Stats: 1-0, 25.1 IP, 5.68 ERA (80 ERA+), 1.58 WHIP, 27 K
Career Stats: 12-6, 7 SV, 154.1 IP, 4.90 ERA (97 ERA+), 1.52 WHIP, 160 K
Summary: He's not the most interesting arm there is and spent most of his time in the bullpen and not in the rotation. He's got a relatively interesting low 90s cutter, but I don't think he has much of a future. For now, I'll keep him, but if I need to free up a roster spot he's likely one of the first to go.

20th Round, 321st Overall: RP Charlie Jansen
Former School: Coastal Carolina Dolphins
1931 Stats: 3-1, 32 IP, 9.28 ERA (50 ERA+), 1.78 WHIP, 30 K
Career Stats: 5-10, 3 SV, 97 IP, 8.16 ERA (60 ERA+), 1.94 WHIP, 82 K
Summary: It doesn't get much worse then Jansen. His best season he had a 6.54 ERA (71 ERA+) and his lowest WHIP was 1.78 this year. He's going to be released.

21st Round, 337th Overall: RP Al Conover
Former School: Golden Gate Grizzlies
1931 Stats: N/A
Career Stats: 4-10, 6 SV, 92 IP, 10.47 ERA (47 ERA+), 2.24 WHIP, 50 K
Summary: Well, I was wrong... It does get worse then Jansen. Conover didn't pitch last year, but when he did, the batters just loved it. He walked more hitters then he struck out and just overall sucks.

22nd Round, 353rd Overall: C Claude Parker
Former School: Spartanburg HS Spartans
1931 Stats: .333/.400/.722 (227 OPS+), 20 PA, 2 HR, 4 RBI, +0.1 ZR (C)
Career Stats: ..233/.311/.336 (92 OPS+), 133 PA, 2 HR, 16 RBI, +0.2 (C))
Summary: He wasn't worth the signing bonus, so I let him go to Travis College instead. College should help him out.

23rd Round, 369th Overall: SS Roy Ganz
Former School: Worcester HS Warriors
1931 Stats: .182/.257/.212 (42 OPS+), 156 PA, 0 HR, 8 RBI, +3.8 ZR (SS)
Career Stats: .207/.284/.259 (63 OPS+), 484 PA, 0 HR, 39 RBI, +3.1 ZR (SS)
Summary: He had a good sophomore season, but was pitiful as a junior and senior. He's a switch hitter, but not worth hanging on to.

24th Round, 385th Overall: RP Tommy Carter
Former School: Maryland State Bengals
1931 Stats: N/A
Career Stats: 4-10, 4 SV, 152.2 IP, 7.07 ERA (64 ERA+), 1.91 WHIP, 96 K
Summary: Another really bad pitcher. This time, it was Tommy Carter, who didn't pitch at all in his senior season. He walks more then he strikes out and just isn't much of a pitcher. He's released as well.

25th Round, 401st Overall: LF Don Coleman
Former School: New York HS Eagles
1931 Stats: .140/.306/.158 (38 OPS+), 72 PA, 0 HR, 3 RBI, -0.6 ZR (LF)
Career Stats: .181/.263/.270 (54 OPS+), 271 PA, 2 HR, 31 RBI, +0.3 ZR (LF)
Summary: The second to last pick of the draft and it's another guy who will be released. Almost no success at the plate with no future.

We also got a player in the Independent draft, picking up C Claude Ramsey from the Galveston Gunners of the Lone Star Association in exchange for 1924 3rd Round Pick Woodie Dudley. Last year Ramsey had an excellent season, hitting .326/.369/.483 (126 OPS+) with 13 homers and 89 RBI's in 537 trips to the plate. The LSA is AA ball, so these are pretty good numbers for a 25-year-old. He's been there the past three seasons and tallied a solid .336/.377/.484 (122 OPS+) line with 25 homers and 212 RBI's. I like his future as a backup catcher and he ranks as our 9th best prospect and 124th best in the league. He'll remain on the 40 all season, but won't have to stay on the active roster. He's definitely no Jim Crawford, but I think he could be a nice piece for the future.
