Not that this means anything but ARZ is going to have to decide what to do about Goldschmidt soon, probably not going to be able to afford Greinke and him, and aces are much harder to find....just saying. Smith is going to be in the majors real soon barring injuries.

I have been to Carlsbad Caverns in my teenage years. I don't remember much about the place. Always cool to hear about a New Mexican native being drafted in any sport.

Pavin Smith was regarded as one of the best pure college hitters in this year’s draft class, a first baseman who not only walked more than he struck out – he homered more, as well

[MrYeahBut]

Another point of trivia is that we never call my nephew by his first name only.. Cody.... We call him Cody May!

 

[Ronin]

Although not the most polished hitter, Varsho is lauded for his defensive work behind the plate and is an above-average runner on the bases – a rare trait for a catcher.

Drew Ellis @drewellis10

as you guys know i gave up twitter until after the CWS, but i have to say i'm so excited to be a part of the @Dbacks organization!

A little surprised we didn't take a pitcher yesterday.

 

[JerkFace]

I liked our first pick but the other two were pretty big stretches. The MLB draft is kind of wonkey to predict though. It seems like a 9th round pick succeeds as much as a 2nd or 3rd. I am guessing we go pitcher heavy today.

Arizona Diamondbacks @Dbacks

MLB Draft: Why Milton Academy's Matt Tabor might be first-rounder

th the difficult decision of pursuing a pro career or a college degree.

Tabor began his high school baseb
When Matt Tabor goes out to lunch with his mom it is one of the few moments he has where the subject of baseball is avoided. Tabor welcomes his mom’s inquiries into topics like his high school life because everyone else is constantly talking to him about what he will do after June 12, the first day of the MLB draft.

Armed with a fastball that has reached 96 mph, Tabor is one of the top prospects from the northeast in this year’s MLB draft. The righty is projected to go anywhere from the second to the fifth round. However, Tabor also has the option to attend Elon University and earn a degree before re-entering the draft as a college junior,

#Dbacks select prep 3B Buddy Kennedy in 5th rd. Attended Millville HS. If that sounds familiar it's because Mike Trout went there.

 

[Ronin]

MILLVILLE, N.J. -- Kids often try to model themselves after their favorite players, imitating their swings or batting stances. Rarely do they have the opportunity to get to meet them, let alone become close friends.

Buddy Kennedy is one of those exceptions.

The Millville High School senior third baseman may have played all of his home games at Mike Trout Field, named for his school's most famous alumnus, but for Kennedy, Trout has become much more than a boyhood idol. He's a friend.

I'll take the every day player. Goldschmidt gave them a very fair deal last time. Pay the man! You can sign another #2 SP at least. Ray, Corbin and that signing would be a decent staff. Or jettison Pollock and keep both.
