College ball started yesterday, and that means it's time to start paying attention to the draft stock if you are a draftnik. I figured this thread could be a multi-purpose thread to track any potential draft prospects, or any college teams/players of interest.
MLB Network is currently showing UCLA/Bethune Cookman. UCLA's pitcher Trevor Bauer is an interesting watch. He's a 2011 draft prospect, but he had a somewhat impressive freshman year last season. He has been called Lincecum Jr due to the similarities in delivery/mechanics. He's shown a mid 90's fastball, a decent curve, as well as a change. It's a good watch so far, especially if you need a baseball fix. |

The Sox have the 13th pick this summer, you figure they should be able to get an impact player at that spot. They've had a couple solid drafts in a row, hopefully they turn that 13th pick into something.

Aside from the usual draft/college sites, I highly reccommend Andy Seiler's blog:

Big kid, 6' 7" , 230 mid 90's fastball, good control, mixes his pitches well. definite ace of our staff. tonight's game got rained out, but he was gonna miss this start anyway. listed as having "discomfort" in his pitching elbow. Coach says it's nothing serious, just giving him some time off as a precaution. Says he'll miss this start, and if necessary the next one. Mainieri says the kids future is too bright to possibly blow it by throwing him if he doesn't feel right. |

I was only able to see Ranaudo during the CWS last year, and he didn't look all that great which was likely due to how much he was overworked. His velocity was down, and things didn't seem quite right. I'm looking forward to seeing him at his best at some point this year, because all the scouting reports are just glowing. It's likely going to be him or Taillon as the first arm taken in the draft this year.

Ranaudo hurt his elbow. I feel bad for the kid. Even though they say he'll pitch again soon, it makes you think precursor to TJ.

overworked? he only pitched on Fridays, rarely threw a complete game. even in the post season, he pitched on his normal schedule, except once he pitched 1 day earlier than normal. his total innings pitched was top 5 in the country, which should only be expected because of how deep LSU went in the postseason. if anyone on our staff was overworked, it was Coleman. guy would get a save on Friday, and then throw a CG on Sunday. we even used him on 2 days rest in Omaha. Quote:
his next start was vintage Ranaudo, as he dominated Arkansas. he also pitched well against Texas in the finals. |

Don't really have an answer as to why, but i personally don't think it was fatigue. You should be able to watch him on April 23rd at 7 (central time) on ESPNU. LSU vs Ole Miss. should be Ranaudo vs Pomeranz since both guys are the Friday starter for their teams. |

Thanks for the heads-up on the Pomeranz match-up. That will absolutely be worth the watch if both pitchers keep steamrolling the opposition. |

hoping he doesn't miss too many outings. by far the best guy we've got. Austin Ross was perfect through 4.1 today, then the wheels came off and he gave up 4 runs. Reliever came in (Ben Alsup) faced 6 batters, gave up 4 runs, didn't record an out. that's our next best starter and long reliever. |

don't know if you catch CSS (Comcast Sports Southeast), but a few of his starts will be broadcast by them. Let me know if you catch that channel, and I'll forward that schedule to you. P.S. apologies if i came off like an @$$ in my 1st post in this thread. wasn't my intentions at all, but after re-reading it, I can see where it might sound like it. |

No worries. I'm more of a prospect/draft guy than someone who has a rooting interest in college baseball. I hadn't even looked at Ranaudo's workload from last year and would have no idea if it qualified as overworked or not. I was just regurgitating information that BA/BP/etc had fed me. |
