Waldschmidt sounds interesting. |
|
Waldschmidt has emerged as one of the better pure hitters in the |
|
college class this year, his second at Kentucky after |
|
transferring from Charleston Southern, hitting .370/.500/.653. I |
|
think there�s even more power to unlock here. He starts with a |
|
very wide base and no stride, limiting how much he can transfer |
|
his weight, yet he still rotates his hips well enough to drive |
|
the ball now with composite bats. He rarely misses fastballs (13 |
|
percent whiff rate during the regular season) and doesn�t chase |
|
much regardless of pitch type. He�s a solid athlete who should |
|
be an above-average defender in a corner, playing left for |
|
Kentucky this year. Even as-is he�s a first-rounder because of |
|
the feel to hit, with that opportunity for more power if he |
|
loosens up his stance and uses his lower half more. |
|
Defensive value. Makes contact and swing changes might unlock |
|
more power. |

Fangraphs has them taking Moore the catcher. |
|
14. Chicago Cubs: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee |
|
Moore�s a big model darling now, as is his brother* Malcolm at |
|
Stanford (*note: they�re not actually brothers), and both seem |
|
high on the Cubs� list based on what other scouts believe. I |
|
think the Cubs are a dark horse on Benge and Cijntje. They�ve |
|
taken players like Vance Honeycutt in the past, but never this |

Jim Callis�s lastest mock |
|
14. Cubs: Trey Yesavage, RHP, East Carolina (No. 11) |
|
The Cubs also are holding out slim hopes for Kurtz, Rainer or |
|
Griffin. Yesavage would be a nice addition to a farm system |
|
lacking in pitching depth. With Tibbs and Moore gone in this |
|
scenario, hitting contenders would include Smith, Stanford |
|
catcher Malcolm Moore and King. |

I know you're not supposed to draft for need, just for talent. |
|
But isn't Christian Moore yet another 2B-defense guy? If we've |
|
already got Shaw and Triantos as 2B-only prospects, would it be |
|
super wise to add another 2B-only guy? |
