Round 15 saw us draft second baseman Josh Clark.

Clark is now our starting third baseman. He is a liability at the plate, being one of our two everyday starters with a negative WAR. He is one of the primary reasons that I have trouble waiting for Frank Gaskill to be ready.

That being said, Clark is an excellent defensive player, and may very well have made up for his poor bat with plays he has made. He has a...

Pick number 13 brought us left-handed reliever Shaun Love.

Shaun was also drafted in the 13th round of his rookie draft.

He could probably have benefited from more time in the minors, but we decided we was good enough to cover some innings now and hoped that he would continue developing from the bullpen. In some ways, his numbers look worse the results he's given, as they are skewed by a couple of really terrible...

Going forward, we'll just cover the draftees that are on the active roster as of today.

Which brings us to our 12th pick (214th overall), right-handed closer Jagger Binson.

By this point in the draft, we could seem to find any potential bull-pen members that didn't have a weakness. Binson's, of course, is his low 'movement' rating, risking giving up home-runs. While in reality this is probably worse than having...

Our tenth pick, good for 178th pick overall, went to Davon Carlock.

Davon was lifted as left fielder when first drafted, and while I hoped to get him some time in the minors for improvement, he was already close to meeting his currently scouted potential so I knew he might be ready early. After only three games at AAA, he he was brought up to cover for an injury. He continued to do well, but in his sixth game he was hit in...

Inaugural Draft Results: Bill Shinkle

Our round 9 pick (147th overall) went to Bill Shinkle, a 32 year old second baseman who could easily play third or short still.

Bill is 32 years old with a significant number of injuries in his past. With an obvious decline in his 2018 stats from previous years (though, he did lead the league in triples), I wasn't more hoping for decent numbers from Bill, and that his leadership abilities would bring a big intangible benefit....
