Las Vegas Bishes
Needs: of, SP, Defensive C
Behind the plate Chris Smith projects
to become a monster hitter, however he will need better defensive help
to hold those huge leads he helps create
The infield has filled out nicely with a collection of talented youngsters
The outfield looks to have a solid threesome emerging, but an upgrade at one of the COF positions could still be made
Another quality arm is needed in the rotation
The bullpen is set with some high quality young talent
Draft Preparation:
Player budget: below average (76 mill)
Prospect budget: high (20 mill)
Draft budget: low-moderate, college scouting (12 mill)
high school scouting (8 mill)
Number of picks Rounds 1-5: 5
Picks
Round 1 Pick 20 SS Francisco Cela
Either a poor fielding SS, or an average 3B, Cela would be pretty
much league average everywhere on the board both offensively and
defensively. While he runs the bases well, he is not a base-stealing
threat. Would likely end up batting 7th or 8th in most lineups,
including this one.
ML Proj: 520 AB/10-12 HR/.260-.270 BA
Round 2 Pick 86 RF Mo Perez
Good base-running, and great speed, combined with his batting eye,
will make him a very effective minor league leadoff hitter.
Unfortunately, the rest of his hitting skills aren't good enough for the
ML. Ceiling AAA
Round 3 Pick 118 SP Damaso Bonifacio
Minor league starter. Ceiling AA
Round 4 Pick 151 SP Hipolito James
Minor league starter. Ceiling AA
Round 5 Pick 183 SP/RP Cozy Hayes
Short inning starter or long relief. Ceiling AAA
Hidden Gems: none apparent
Overall Grade: C-
The Bishes got very little out of this draft, but that is not
surprising given what little they had to work with. Starting wih the
20th overall pick, they quickly jumped down to 86th overall with their
second pick. Hard to build a team picking from those positions.
