Draft Notes: Pirates, Blue Jays, Reds, Harper

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | June 2, 2010 at 7:52pm CDT

Some links from around the majors with less than a week to go before the MLB draft:

  • Pirates' president Frank Coonelly chatted with fans at the team's official site, with most of the questions involving prospects and the team's plans for Monday's draft.
  • MLB.com's Jordan Bastian spoke to Blue Jays' director of amateur scouting Andrew Tinnish about the upcoming draft. Among other things, they discussed what the team's strategy will be with all of their extra picks. The Jays own ten of the first 126 picks.
  • Reds scouting director Chris Buckley told John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer that the Reds are considering Christian Colon, Alex Wimmers, Deck McGuire, Gary Brown and Kolbin Vitek.
  • In 2009, the Reds drafted Mike Leake in the first round. One year later, Bob Nightengale of USA Today shows that the 22-year-old is fitting in with older, more experienced teammates and impressing the opposition.
  • Jon Heyman of SI.com hears that Bryce Harper and Scott Boras will seek a record bonus this year. However, Heyman says most people expect the Nationals to sign Harper for more than Mark Teixeira's $9.5MM bonus and less than Stephen Strasburg's $15.1MM bonus (if they draft him, as expected).
  • The Mets won't pick Yasmani Grandal seventh overall, according to Heyman (via Twitter).
  • Heyman has the Mets taking right-hander Matt Harvey in his mock draft.

    Heyman can’t even cover the majors properly. Why don’t we leave draft matters to competent people who actually have some expertise?

    Like I said the last time, I’m pretty sure everyone knew Boras would seek the largest contract ever for Harper. Not sure why Heyman is a year behind everyone else.

    I would like to give my condolences to Armando Galarraga that was just brutal. Tonight we were robbed of history. How sweet would it have been to have 3 perfect games in under a month’s span?

    Boras pulled the “once in a lifetime talent” card on the Nats last year. If that “once in a lifetime talent” pulled $15m, don’t expect it again Scott.
