Buxton in-game swing is incredibly raw ( agreed with Doc ) and Appel is Cole 2.0 with less heat. I suppose thats fine because it sounds like they may go #1 and #2.
Don't like betting on either Zunino or Correa to hit (too much flame out potential). Gioloto has too many similarities to Cole-Appel. A thrower, not a pitcher (not to mention destined for TJ). Don't like his chances of pulling a Bundy.
Usually I don't like to reach, but I agree with G that David Dahl looks like a better bet than the consensus top 5. He doesn't project for 30+ HRs, but excellent mechanics, speed, approach, and batting eye could make him an impact all-around CF down the line.
Dahl is also a great Safeco fit. Lefty top-spin hitter with a great eye at the plate and the instincts and speed in the OF to play up at CF.
Heres an article on praising Dahl's baseball instincts and his efforts to improve:

I'll take the talented, hard-working ballplayer over a raw athlete every time.
