Video Daily Double -- Post-Draft Edition, Vol. 1
D.J., Wilson and the Tank ... etc.

 

Here's the mlb.com link to all Mariners draftees with mini-scouting reports where available.

Here's a feature spot on the Deej:

Opens with the baby-faced trying-to-look-fierce Nick Franklin look, then, at the one-minute mark ... he's kinda nerdy!

 

We mean that in a good way.  A really, really good way.

Wilson with wood bat hitting a stand-up triple.  

 

Does he look and run like an NFL stud wideout?  Yes he does.  Megatron at the bat.  Love that acceleration after he rounds first.

But the swing doesn't look amateur-ish or non-baseball-y to me.  Guess we'll see.

The Tank:

 

Seems like a guy who's gonna hit the ball hard.

For a guy without a ton of velo, Horstman's mechanics don't look real good to me...his pitch elbow finishes very high as the ball is released. Not real encouraged by that footage.
