June 12, 200818 yr THT has their draft review up: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...e-draft-part-1/ And here is what they say about Skipworth: I really like Skipworth's swing: very simple; the hands stay relatively quiet and the hips stay closed until just before foot plant. At foot plant, the hips rotate and bring the arms along for the ride, and contact is made deep in his hitting zone. If Skipworth can stay at catcher, his bat could have premium value, but if he is forced to move to first base or a corner outfield spot, his bat becomes merely above-average. His power potential looks to be around 20-25 home runs, but that outlook could change depending on his physical maturation.
June 12, 200818 yr They gave him a B+ which is the highest grade I see on there. They only gave 3 players a B+, Skippy was one of them.
