If the bats at the top (Sale, O'Conner, Vettleson, Dietrich, Brett) don't come through this could be a very bad draft. So many relievers already. Hope to see Kendall and Henderson in the Bowling Green rotation next year.
Thanks for this. Nice breakdown on where everyone is without having to research it. This kind of stuff is why i check this site every day. Looks like we might have some relievers in this draft, as well as a few hitters, especially Ryan Brett. He seems to actually know how to hit the ball, unlike most of our major leaguers. Hope he can keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Ryan Brett might be our first develped 2nd baseman that can actually stick and contribute at the major league level.
DeleteDoug, I dont see how you can make the statement about the bats. Dietrich had a breakout season last year after suffering an injury to end his first year at Hudson Valley. Also, just because he has 9 home runs this year so far doesnt make you have the right to say his bat isnt coming around. He clearly has power and the FSL is loaded this year with good pitching. He will be with the Rays for a long time and will be on the MLB roster within the next 2-3 years.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I wasn't clear, I'm not knocking those bats, just the opposite, I'm saying that's about all there is. I'm happy with Dietrich. He's continued to hit while moving up, has some pop, and now he's learning 2B (no errors through 16 games)which will only help his future. If only all of our position player picks were like Dietrich.
Delete"If the bats at the top don't come through" is referring to the long run, as in continuing above A-ball on the way to MLB. There just isn't much starting pitching, which is unusual with the Rays. So, other than those bats and a bunch of relievers, you're left with Spann and Markel.
That's not to say I don't like any of the others, I mentioned Henderson and Kendall, and Thompson and Price are two of my favorites, even if they haven't set the world on fire. And lefty relievers like Patterson and Rearick probably deserve more attention, they may break the streak of Rays not having RP make it to the bigs.
Ok well that sounded better I do agree with you though the guys need to step up hitting and pitching. The Stone Crabs especially they are embarrassing in FSL.
ReplyDeleteI really like this draft! No high picks who were sure things, but they got some potentially solid ML players and loaded up on LHP. Several high ceiling OF. Some power, some speed, solid hitters. A few good middle IF. It is still early to judge, but IMO there is a lot to like in this group.
ReplyDeleteRyan Brett! A .300 hitter? In the Rays organization? Pay him what he wants and get him to St. Pete! A grand total of four players on the major league roster are currently hitting above .250. That is not a misprint. Brett averages .305 since he has been in the organization. Bodes well.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is Brett's first "not short" season, so I am sure the Rays want to see if he (and all these guys) can keep up the production with a full season team before advancing them too far. That whole group is probably being looked at more from the longevity of their production standpoint this year since they have all been pretty successful in shorter seasons.
ReplyDeleteThat's an important point Jim makes, most of these guys have never played anywhere close to a 140 game season. With the BG team being so young it will be interesting to see how they hold up in the 2nd half and the playoffs. This year might be a little different with all of the heat early on, but most years the August heat hits right as they are worn out from the season. They already modified the rotation as Micheal Compton tweeted:
ReplyDeleteMicheal Compton @mcompton428
was just told 2nd half plan is Gomez/Rivero Shull/Partridge will piggyback with Floethe, Markel, Carpenter scaled back #BGHotRods
It'll be fun to watch, hope they all do well.
As with the 2011 draft, the key to determine whether this is a "bad draft" or not is to look to the alternatives.
ReplyDeleteIn the first and supplemental round, you could argue (as I did at the time) that the Rays should have spent the money to sign Nick Castellanos. Failing that, however, it's hard to argue with the players they did select (Sale, O'Conner, Vettleson). Among position players, they missed out on Jedd Gyorko (to the Padres at 2/59) and Andrelton Simmons (to the Braves at 2/70). You could also argue that LHP Sammy Solis (Nationals, 2/51) would have been a better value pick than O'Conner/Vettleson and I wouldn't argue with you there. All in all, though, this was a pretty solid top 3 to draft.
In the second, Jake Thompson over Drew Smyly is looking like a pretty grievous error. Jordan Swagerty and Chad Bettis are better prospects than Thompson at this point, too. So that's a clear miss. Dietrich is obviously a good pick.
In the third, Brett looks like a better pick than anyone who went after him; another solid selection.
The fourth round was obviously a waste, particularly considering the Rays could have had SS Garin Cecchini (4/143), Matt Den Dekker (5/152), or Matthew Szczur (5/160). Fifth rounder Ian Kendall looks like another mistake, particularly with Justin Grimm and Stephen Pryor still on the board.
Maybe the conclusion is that the Rays' vaunted northwest scouting isn't all it's cracked up to be?
