Minor League Draft Rd. 2

Here are the results for the 2nd round of my Minor League draft. I really didn't need a pitcher but I love Cahill and never thought he would be available at the end of the 2nd round. The pick that I just don't like is Fernando Martinez from the Mets who went #1 in the second round and #15 overall. I think he is over-hyped becuase he is the top prospect for the Mets but that really isn't saying all that much. He has a history of injuries and already this spring he has been shut down. Dayan Viciedo, from the White Sox, is a very intresting pick and time will tell if the Sox hit gold 2 years in a year with a Cuban prospect (Alexei Ramirez). I pick that I like the most is Stephen Strasburg, out of San Diego St. University, who is the clear #1 pick in this year's draft. As noted in a previous post, this kid hit 102 MPH 7 times in one game. He is being "advised" by Boras so we will see if the National pony up for this prized pitcher come June.

15. Fernando Martinez, New York Mets
16. Neftali Feliz, Texas Rangers
17. Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants
18. Rick Porcello, Detroit Tigers
19. Dayan Viciedo, Chicago White Sox
20. Stephen Strasburg, San Diego State Univ.
21. Lars Anderson, Boston Red Sox
22. Brett Wallace, St. Louis Cardinals
23. Dexter Fowler, Colorado Rockies
24. Eric Hosmer, Kansas City Royals
25. Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates
26. Trevor Cahill, Oakland Athletics
27. Brett Anderson, Oakland Athletics
28. Derek Holland, Texas Rangers
