Completely agree Doc. Short of Lincecum in college, but there aren't any Harpers, Strasburgs, or Lincecums in this draft. Bauer throws about as hard as Lincecum does now.
I also don't like the locked knee, but he has an excellent delivery overall. Bauer's mechanics and the fact that he never gets his arm sore are a big point in his favor.
Really think Bauer is an even safer prospect than Rendon. Hitting prospects are worth twice as much as pitching prospects because of injury, but durable SPs are pretty rare. The high IQ, the willingness to adjust,  raw stuff, and durability make him the most likely prospect of the three to hit his ceiling IMO.
I'd be happy with either Rendon or Bauer. Cole would make the draft dissapointing for me. Hes practically the same as drafting a high-risk/high-upside highschool SP.
