Draft Notes: Harvey, Starling, Anderson, Stilson

With the MLB draft coming up on June 6th, let's take a look at some draft-related tidbits..

  • Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe tweets that the Red Sox released Ryan Harvey, who was the 2003 1st round pick of the Cubs.  The 26-year-old was trying to convert from the outfield to the mound but never found his way out of extended Spring Training with Boston.
  • There's been talk of a lack of elite bats in this year's draft, but there appears to be a good amount of depth when it comes to the outfield prospects, writes Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com.  Mayo highlights a number of the top outfielders in the draft, including Bubba Starling, George Springer, Mikie Mahtook, and Jackie Bradley.
  • More from Mayo who writes that there's a good deal of buzz around Stanford closer Chris Reed, who is seen by some scouts as a starter.  Reed, it appears, will be taken somewhere in the sandwich round.
  • Meanwhile, Mayo writes that two pitchers, Oregon lefty Tyler Anderson and Texas A&M right-hander John Stilson, may have hurt their stock with recent poor outings.
