June 5, 200818 yr Would have rather had a bat that could come up almost right away but I am okay with Skipworth.
June 5, 200818 yr I guess we have Skippy.... will he be ready soon . you're getting annoying...the kid is 18 years old, and he's already being compared to Joe Mauer WITH MORE POWER. So we'll have to wait 3-4 years. It'll be well worth it, when he fully develops. Same goes for our pick last year (Matt Dominguez).
June 5, 200818 yr Not my first choice, but i'll take it. I want high upside with a #6 pick and you build up the middle.
June 5, 200818 yr Holly, it's not like we wouldn't have to wait if Posey fell to us. The MLB draft is not like the NBA or NFL drafts where the players make immediate impact. Give it some time. Skipworth has A LOT of upside
June 5, 200818 yr He committed to Arizona State. But he will sign,right? Right? Should be an easy sign. Based on Fleming's comments yesterday, I have to believe they already have the parameters of a contract worked out.
June 5, 200818 yr HORRIBLE. I'm going to puke. God dammit Beinfest. What the hell are you doing. Who did you want Lou? Crow?
June 5, 200818 yr HORRIBLE. I'm going to puke. God dammit Beinfest. What the hell are you doing. What's wrong now?
June 5, 200818 yr HORRIBLE. I'm going to puke. God dammit Beinfest. What the hell are you doing. LOL... I love when people freak out over taking players they have never seen play...except for maybe a grainy scout video.
June 5, 200818 yr HORRIBLE. I'm going to puke. God dammit Beinfest. What the hell are you doing. Who did you want Lou? Crow? Yes. We don't need a god damn 18 year old catcher at the 6th pick.

I love when people freak out over taking players they have never seen play...except for maybe a grainy scout video. LOL. There is such a low probability he turns into an average major leaguer because of his age and POSITION, the Marlins should have taken a college prospect who is safer. Especially because we are a low budget franchise and we can't afford to miss on players.
June 5, 200818 yr Author MLB.com Scouting Report Skipworth Thanks for posting. Wow, he was born in 1990. I feel old.

Unless the scouts think he has Joe Mauer like ability. Obviously asking a lot, but I like high upside high risks type picks at 6. I like Crow, but I don't think his upside is as high as people think, he was floating a 10 million dollar number out there as a signing bonus, and he had that hitch in his delivery that was a red flag according to a lot of scouts.
