Not the most exciting draft, but there was one interesting pick.

Mathias: 18-year-old RF from Ohio whose nickname is "Grinder". Projects as a high-average, low-to-moderate power guy with great speed and a great batting eye.

Imbraguglio: Hopefully we won't get into a contract imbroglio with Imbraguglio, an 18-year-old CF from South Carolina who projects to be a power hitter and gap power hitter. Contact could be the issue here.

Nerison: An 18-year-old starting pitcher from a Virginia HS. Although he's 6'8" he throws 89-91 and is a finesse lefty who the scouts still really like (OSA says "front of rotation potential" while Metzler is more muted as "middle of a rotation at his peak".

Sanchez: A 21-year-old starter from University of Virginia, a lefty who throws 93-95, more of a back-end-of-the-rotation starter but we're late 3rd round at this point.

Bloom: He's one of these guys I like taking at least once in every draft, a potential closer out of college. Most times guys who throw really hard have their speed listed as "98-100mph". Bloom is listed at "100+" for speed. He started at Oklahoma State and whiffed 205 in 130 innings, but is projected as bullpen only and rated with 5-star potential for that.

Cox: Now here's the interesting pick. An 18-year-old righty from Texas who throws 96-98 and is committed to Vanderbilt. He would normally be a 1st round pick but he's come in with a sky-high "impossible" more than $11M signing demand. So I've offered him $11M. Yolo and all that.

Vasquez: A speedy CF from an Ohio HS who's projected as a decent if unspectacular hitter.
