...but we're gonna be on this prospect watch til June, I'm thinkin' so we might as well keep this post rolling. The 2nd pick in the draft is kinda important, and after blowing the 3rd pick and the 5th pick in a couple of drafts I'm not in the mood to go for the trifecta. We really need this pick to be one the franchise can build around.
Anthony Rendon's getting the hang of these new bats. 8 games, .393/.514/.643 with a 2B and 2 HRs, and 7 walks against 2 Ks in 28 ABs. I really need to stop hoping we get this guy...
Cole: 2 games, 14.1 IP, 1.88 ERA, 9 hits, 3 ER, 17K/2BB. Not a bad start to a year at all.
Purke has a blister on his throwing hand so they scrapped his start over the weekend.
Springer's first week was pretty bad. 6 games, .136/.259/.273 with 1 HR, and 4 walks against 7 Ks in 22 ABs.
I am kinda terrified of taking Springer, he of the 70 Ks in 248 ABs against college pitchers (and using a metal bat) in 2010. I'd rather take Bubba Starling, honestly, even though I'd have to wait longer to see him in the bigs.
Rendon, Starling, Purke and Cole still look like the 4 options I'd see us investigating at #2 in the early going. Start sucking, Mr. Rendon. STAT.
