The top guy looks like he's worthy of the top pick.

... and remember whom to blame when your 34-control pitcher lets you down time and again.

To the OP: Sounds alot like Benny Martin, started out at about 17/65 dur/stam as well, gave me 185 innings at 18/77.

The 100 vR on that reliever makes me wonder if it's a college pitcher where your scouting is down towards 10 mill...

The top guy has absolutely stellar control and splits (projected 91, 80, 86) and 2 good pitches, 1 decent, 1 bad (projected 88, 82, 53, 17), but his durability is only 17 (and isn't getting higher) and his stamina projects to 85 (currently 65).

He is a HS player, with Health and Makeup already in the 90's.

I'm just worried that the stam/dur combo won't let him pitch enough to really be worth it.

This is a pretty good draft at the top and there are 3 real good position players that I'd consider with the pick

Just curious as to whether you drafted this guy. If he's anything like Jerry Glover, he'll be Pedro-like with 6-inning stamina (right down to a complete collapse in key playoff games). He's definitely worth the top pick, especially if you pick up a shutdown reliever or two to handle the 8th/9th innings.

18 HS and 18 college scouting.

Draft is later in the week, going to go with the pitcher.

good man.
