Boulder Ball Busters select;

23.17 SP: Scott Snodgress (CHW)

Another physical lefthander, Scott Snodgress, showed better velocity in the fall and settled back into the 90-92 mph range out of Stanford's bullpen this spring. Scouts like his size--he's 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds--and potential, but he doesn't have great command or composure. Snodgress throws a good curveball and changeup and needs to trust his stuff is and show more confidence on the mound.

Boulder Ball Busters select;

23.18 RP: David Goforth (MIL)

Goforth showed mid-90s velocity and thrived in a set-up role as a freshman in 2009, striking out 36 in 35 innings. He was a draft-eligible sophomore last season and imploded when he moved into a part-time starting role, with an 8.41 ERA. He couldn't throw his secondary pitches for strikes, but remedied that in 2011 when he added a cut fastball. Goforth's four-seamer still has plenty of giddy-up, at times reaching 97 mph even when he starts. He can throw strikes with the cutter, which sits 88-92 mph and gives him a power pitch with life. His four-seam fastball tends to flatten out. He still throws a curveball and changeup on occasion, but his approach is mostly to overpower hitters. He's thrown a lot more strikes this year thanks in large part to the cutter, and should be able to pitch mostly off his fastball and cutter as a pro reliever. A 31st-round pick a year ago, Goforth should go out in the fifth-round range this season.

Taken 21.9 by Knights although he didn't include the write up

[Boulder Ball Busters]

Fair enough although he should be penalized with no write up.

Boulder Ball Busters repick;

23.18 SS: Adam Bryant (MIN)

Teammate Adam Bryant is already a senior and was better defensively as a junior but has good hands and quick feet. He could stay at shortstop as a pro if he can make the most of his fringe-average arm, but he fits better at second base for most scouts. At 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, he is only a fair runner. A grinder who can hit, Bryant dipped from 25 to 11 home runs but his 25 doubles ranked among the nation's top 10 in 2011. He should go out between round 10 and 20.

I agree that your write ups are very valuable for the 3 other people still making draft picks

[Boulder Ball Busters]

agreed but you can't beat getting 7-10th rounders in real life for our 23rd rounders here and with my two picks a round 21st on, its like 5 pickers...in fact I feel like an American picker this draft finding treasure in someone's else junk
