2010 Draft - Butcher - 06-07-2010
Apparently this guy wasn't on anybody's top 200.
2010 Draft - Coach - 06-07-2010
Wilken is at it again.
Simpson is a D2 LHP that wasn't on many top 200 lists.
Its another one where you have to trust our scouting director.
Edit: One of the guys on MLB Network said that he was LH but he appears to be RH
That's how far he was off the board.
2010 Draft - 1060Ivy - 06-07-2010
Isn't Hayden Homer's brother?
Fastball in the mid-90's along with a slider and a curve.

Gammons: I trust Tim Wilken.

Personally, I hope we either grab a kid out of high school that seems open to coaching, like Ryan Bolden (power, speed, and athleticism), Drew Vettleson, or A.J. Cole with huge potential upside... OR... a college player 1-2 years away like Dan Klein, Kevin Munson, or Anthony Ranaudo that could compete for a bullpen slot in 2012 (or earlier). It would be great to land a HS bat with potential like Josh Sale in the 2nd round, too, though he may be gone by the time we're on the baord.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I've seen the Cubs projected to take Sale in the first round in mock drafts.

Rays take Sale straight after the Cubs first pick.
2010 Draft - Auz - 06-07-2010
Simpson was rated #191 overall by Baseball America. Very Puzzling pick.
Hope we won't regret not taking Sale.

Gammons didn't even have him on his notes, no one could even analyze except to say they trust Wilken, MLB.com didn't even have a scouting report ready. Wow.
Only thing I wonder on picks like this is if we could have waited a round or two.
2010 Draft - Butcher - 06-07-2010
His numbers against Division II talent were pretty impressive, for whatever that's worth.
2010 Draft - Coach - 06-07-2010
When I saw Sale, I could only think of Ryan Harvey.

They must have expected another team to pick him up. I'm not sure how else to explain it.

Let's hope with his size that Simpson becomes the next Lincecum

I won't risk that. BT will dig this thread up in four years after Simpson breaks into our bullpen.
