A lot of us were disappointed last year when we missed out on Porcello… But how does Cole stack up to Porcello in terms of talent & upside???

I asked and was anserwed,

tonyf629: Hi, I just wanted to say that I think you guys did a really great job this year. What hitter drafted has the best power potential?

Oppenheimer: Two guys we drafted have above-average power potential — Corban Joseph and Luke Anders.

Thanks for the compliment on the Draft.

Here’s a good article on Blake Monar. Man, I love competitive pitchers.

i’ll take the young Barry Bonds, even if it mean every other player, is a bust. : )

Garrison Lassiter. He can mash.

Mike, who do you think could be a late or later-round sleeper in this draft (no, Chris Dwyer doesn’t quite count…)

I’d say the most likely to bust out of those are Garcia and Brackman

Just found some draft comparisons taht made me pretty happy:

1.Gerrit Cole-MLB Comp: Jake Peavy.

Note the Comps are based on similar players and the player reaching his HIGHEST ceiling… So take it lightly

2.Jeremy Bleich-MLB Comp: Cliff Lee

3.David Adams-MLB Comp: Mark Ellis

4.Corban Joseph-MLB Comp: He’s got a Casey Utley CEILING

5.Chris Smith-MLB Comp: Young Barry Bonds

6.Brett Marshall-MLB Comp: Roy Oswalt like with Dan Haren’s Mechanics
