Beavers Draft In Review

The Beavers had a decent draft by managements view.

"We felt we were weak in the SP spec department, so we went out and drafted as many good ones as we could," a drunk GM Aaron Blank told reporters the day after the draft.

"We liked sohf ahgweonfvnb hghjs////?????????????"

Ah fuck it, he's drunk, here's what the scout thinks.

The 35th overall pick was SP Robert Reeves. Look for Reeves to (hopefully sign) go to single A affiliate Barry's Bay and start his Beavers career there, with only 2 pitches, both good, look for Reeves to develop a third breaking pitch the next few years in the minor system.

Next with the 49th overall pick, the Beavers took SP Luis Silva. Very different pitcher than Reeves, Silva has 2 breaking pitches compared to Reeves fast and change. Silva is def a GB pitcher which plays well into the Beavers favour with a stellar defense. Look for Silva to also learn a 3rd pitch.

52nd overall was SP Raul Flores, who doesn't have as high a ceiling as the first 2 do, but still has tools to make him a good candidate for a 5th spot in the roto.

The 65th pick brought SP Ricardo Sanchez. Look for Sanchez to make the transition to the bullpen immediately due to his low stamina. His history of a starter should help his ability to close out games.  Not to mention his 3 pitches already (Rodrigo Ramon anyone?)

Fast forward to the 135th pick overall where the Baffin Island Beavers finally decided to take a position player in SS Manuel Rios. Hailing from California, Rios has no intelligence whatsoever, but works like a friggen mule. Rios is exceptional on the defensive end but will need to work on his bat if he can make it to the show. Many defensive specialists have worked their way up to the Beavers glorious Beaver Dam, but can Rios do it?

These draftees can hopefully mean the beginning of another great Beaver era in say...3 years.
