John Klima, who seems to really, really like Buster Posey, has an updated scouting report up on his site, Baseball Beginnings. You can find the link in the column to the left. Klima sees Posey as a cornerstone player with a .300 BA plus 25-30 HR's per year for the next 10 years or so. He said, among other things, that Buster's defense is much improved from when he scouted him in the Cal League. I submitted two questions: 1. Why did so many scouting reports apparently underestimate Busters power potential? 2. Were the Giants justified in keeping him down in AAA at the beginning of the season to work on defense?
I found a nice video clip of a local TV report on Chuckie Jones from before the draft. Definitely worth checking out. Here's another kid who is trying to copy Albert Pujols' swing. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs0B2pAQatI.
That's a zero after the vs and the last character is a capital I.
"gobrocks" has a new mock draft up on Andy Seiler's nearly defunct website mlbbonusbaby.com. Again, you can link it over on the left. The Giants will be drafting #29 this year. Several early mock drafts have them linked to HS SS Christian Lopes out of Edison HS in Huntington Beach, CA. If Lopes is what he seems to be, a good hitter with power potential who can stick at SS, I'm not sure he falls to #29, but he seems like he would be a solid pick, although I feel strongly that the Giants need to emphasize pitching in the next draft. Gotta take the BPA in the first round, though. There are quite a few videos of Christian over on youtube.com
