June 13, 20179 yr so they pick a 130 ranked instead of a better ranking players available just because he's Aroid's nephew :hill "But think of the money I saved!"
June 13, 20179 yr (from. Jim Callis' analysis) http://m.mlb.com/news/article/235976306/mlb-draft-pick-by-pick-selections-analysis/?topicId=27118122 13. Miami Marlins: LHP Trevor Rogers, Carlsbad (N.M.) HS Callis: Rogers is a big lefty with a long, loose arm. He's got a low-90s fastball that can hit 95, and his sweeping slider can be tough, especially on lefties, but needs to be more consistent. 36. Miami Marlins: OF Brian Miller, University of North Carolina Callis: Miller had a breakout summer in the Cape Cod League in 2016, and teamed with Logan Warmoth to give UNC two of the best up-the-middle college prospects in this year's Draft. He's a plus runner who puts the bat on the ball and plays a solid center field.
June 13, 20179 yr A Rods nephew. For whay it's worth. In High School this kid hit 8 HRs in 8 straight at bats he has the glove and arm to stay at 3rd base (Although if you were to ask him he prefers to play SS) He had an excellent performance in the Cape Cod League with a wooden bat This year he seemed to finally have found his groove as a hitter at NC St with 16 HRs and a decent .295 avg .992 OPS His problem is, as with most Marlins prospects, the swing and miss
June 13, 20179 yr (from. Jim Callis' analysis) http://m.mlb.com/news/article/235976306/mlb-draft-pick-by-pick-selections-analysis/?topicId=27118122 Miller’s best tool is speed: he’s a minimum 60 runner with some sources giving him a 70; you can split the difference at 65 if you like, but either way he’s very fast and he knows how to use it, stealing at 81% so far in his career while showing plenty of range in center field. He profiles well as a leadoff man, combining the speed with a patient approach at the plate. He’s gained some physical strength and has shown more isolated power this year. While home runs won’t be a big part of his game in pro ball, he could develop respectable pop. Miller’s track record hitting for average with wooden bats is quite good Biggest Weakness: Below average arm http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/6/6/15737836/2017-mlb-draft-brian-miller-of-university-of-north-carolina
June 13, 20179 yr (from. Jim Callis' analysis) http://m.mlb.com/news/article/235976306/mlb-draft-pick-by-pick-selections-analysis/?topicId=27118122 STRENGTHS At his best Rogers features a 93-95 MPH fastball with more velocity possible as he matures physically and fills out his body. He doesn’t work hard to get the velocity, further evidence that he may have more gas in the tank down the line. The low-effort delivery is also a positive factor when projecting his health and durability. His second pitch is a sweeping breaking ball described as either a slider or a hard curve depending on the source. This pitch is inconsistent but could be/should be a plus pitch in time. He hasn’t needed a change-up much against weak local competition but it has looked workable when he’s brought it out. The pitch could be at least average eventually. Rogers’ control is actually quite solid considering his background although his command within the strike zone could use some tightening. He has the physical upside to be a dominant starter. OVERALL PROJECTION Rogers’ weaknesses as a prospect are those of inexperience and should be correctable with pro coaching, while his strengths are hard to find. There was some talk of him as a darkhorse top 10 candidate back in February but right now he looks more like a mid-first rounder. He’ll need patient development but the upside is undeniable. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/5/18/15639202/trevor-rogers-lhp-carlsbad-new-mexico-scouting-report

June 14, 20179 yr Braley story: http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/story/sports/college/southern-miss/blitz/2017/06/13/marlins-draft-braley-6th-round/393727001/ Braley quote: “I haven’t decided anything yet because I haven’t really talked to the Marlins about the money yet,” Braley said. “(The money’s) got to be on up there, but I really haven’t had time to talk to them about. So I don’t know much yet.”

June 16, 20179 yr So did we do ok in the draft? Understood that it's only the day after the draft ended but as far as first impressions what have they said about what we did? i believe they did the same old shit as always drafting a player ranked double of the pick to save money
June 16, 20179 yr Too early to judge. It's only the day after. Yea I said it was too early but there are people who write articles judging the early impressions. That's what I meant.
