Feel free Matthew to write a bit more…Only a gazillion people reading this interview

This kid will be expensive, but the team that gets him will be very pleased. He’ll be a stud.
Craig Cutler
You forgot the part of the interview where he told you he wanted to be a St. Louis Cardinal.

Actually he told me he grew up a Braves fan. No mention of the Cards…

So we just have to find an injury prone OFer to trade to the Braves then like last time right? 🙂
Craig Cutler
Hahaha touche good sir. But we both know how many Cardinals fans stayed true from back in the day when they were the southern most team in the league. There’s a lot of Cardinals fans in the Atlanta area. I’m sure if he had to choose another team, it would be St. Louis. At least I can hope so anyway.

Damn, Ben, you need a vacation! Good job!

Dbacks take him at 3.
NatsTown
Cole 2??
Jeff 30
Rendon, Purke, Gray, Cole
In my mind.
optimusdude
as a rangers fan… this depresses me. he’s gonna’ be good.

I felt same way about DL Drew when he rejected the phils
johnsilver
Understand.. Shame Hicks as in such horrible financial shape and couldn’t sign this stud, but hey Rangers fans.. Look on the bright side..He did find the dough to sign stud Scheppers from that draft at least.
ChrisV
I agree. I was like NOOOO when he decided to go to college instead…if only if only…
alxn
Someone should introduce him to a weight room
fitz
Good point, no tall lanky pitchers ever work out.
vonhayesdays
yeah that Randy Johnson guy totally sucked
Todd Smith
I can’t decide who I want the Pirates to take. Rendon and Pedro on the corners in 2013 would be great, but so would Taillon and Purke/Cole as the #1 and #2 starters in 2013-14. Tough choice…can’t get too upset either way they go really…but think I’m still pulling for Rendon. He’s hitting .429/.565/.714 so far this season.

it sounds like this kid should be taken no later than the third pick. 16-0 is freakin eye poping and a video game record for a pitcher
Ryne Ashley Stewart
hope somehow he falls number nine to the cubs but i dont see it see the diamondbacks taking him with number 3 pick
