... Given how the Angels like to fast track their guys in the minors and they just picked ... the Angels do play Eli Willits before the end of the year...

The Nationals drafted Willets, FYI.

Sorry, I ain't edman chas and I know you don't like seeing my posts... just a friendly fyi.

The Angels drafted 21 y.o. college arm Tyler Bremner.

Who could be a fast riser into MLB, possibly even this year based on Angels...

Not Edman, but he would have to be placed on the 40 man (and then active roster) to play a game.  Then each year he is sent to the minors, he is burning an option.  Plus it starts his service time clock for arbitration/FA.

 

So basically no way they do it just for PR.

@Edman85?

Yes. Once you are in the majors, all sorts of clocks start ticking. Running out of options as early as their age 21 or 22 season depending on when they are sent up and down, not to mention tying down a scarce 40 man spot.

It would make zero sense to promote a player who was not ready.  Unless Bill Veeck owns the team.

This draft will be interesting to see 3/4 years out...

See how these draftees grow (or not)...

For those interested in following minor leaguers...

[1984Echoes]

They do appear to be taking some heavy-developmental guys...

Let's hope Harris and his scouts are right...

[1984Echoes]

5th round = Ryan Hall HS RH'er...

6'1"...

Can we "grow" some of these guys...?

I like my pitchers a couple inches taller...

Two-way player but Wetwiska is a far better OF'er than pitcher...

Just by the numbers...

When I first read that I saw Grayson Greiner. Wonder if he is still playing somewhere?

I have zero issue with drafting a slew of pitchers so far this year.  We definitely could use some new blood in that area of our system.  Getting guys who command the zone and throw strikes is fine- work on velocity and other stuff as they develop

At least from the first 2 pitchers, it looks like they did the opposite.  Picked guys with great stuff/velocity who need their command refined.

Did that last year and they are mostly on the shelf...
