ROUND ONE:
Raul Bruno: SF drafted him first in the draft. Currently playing a utility IF role as a defensive minded SS. Hitting. .188 in 17 plate appearances with a -0.1 WAR.
Billy Campbell: Selected by Austin he was returned to Houston and is playing in the minors.
Sixto Perez: Selected by Boston, he has hit .417 in 13 plate appearances for a 0.2 WAR. For what its worth, Sixto has a 3.41 catcher ERA so he’s not been involved in the Boston Massacres.
Troy Parker: Selected by Beech Mountain, he’s appeared in 7 games (2 starts) with a 6.00 ERA due to giving up 6 homeruns and more hits than innings pitched and has a -0.1 WAR.
Tanyu Imai: Selected by Chicago, he’s had 19 plate appearances batting .188 with a -0.1 WAR.
Reynoldo Slomp: Selected by Maui, he’s been somewhat productive hitting .333 in 19 at bats and filling the role of a utility infielder with a 0.1 WAR.
Pedro Santiago: Selected by St. Charles, he’s appeared in 6 games as a reliever and has pitched just over 11 forgettable innings. However his last 7 innings in relief against Chicago and Greenville has been solid and he’s cut his ERA down from 19.64 to 6.35 with a -0.1 WAR.
Milton Watson: Selected by Nevada, Milton has been a productive force in his 34 plate appearances in April hitting .355 and earning a 0.2 WAR rating to date.
Bill Sampson: Selected by Nassau, Sampson has been downright ugly in April out of the bullpen with a 12.50 ERA. However, as a 25 year old, he shows some promise with his strikeout rate and 0.2 WAR. Just don’t ask him to pitch against Orlando again where he gave up 5 runs in 1/3 of an inning!
Mike Meeks: Did not make it out of Spring Training with Vista and was returned to the Browns.
Jim Daniel: Selected by Houston, he’s nothing special out of the pen with a 6.75 ERA in 6.2 innings pitched with little ability to strike people out demonstrated thus far with his -0.1 WAR. He’s also 30 years old.
Dave Riley: Selected by KC, he is apparently a ghost as he’s not been returned but is not showing on the KC roster.
Leon Hernandez: Selected by the Browns, he’s become a ghost as well.
Barry Garner: Selected by NJ from Maui, this 24 year old already has 2 saves in 3 appearances and has been the Wild Thing out there with 6 walks and 12 K’s in 6 innings pitched. 0.0 WAR.
Alberto Campos: Selected by Fresno, he’s now a ghost.
Alfredo Montalvo: Selected by Irvine, 25 year old Alfredo has earned a spot in the rotation as he shut down Boston’s offense and scattered Maui’s potent offense. In 22 innings pitched, he’s 1-2, 3.27 ERA, 5 appearances with two starts, 1.09 WHIP, 6.5 K’s/9, 1.2 BB/9, and a 0.2 WAR. Icing on the top of the cake is that he was stolen from Southern Cal, Irvine’s top rival in the division.
Halewign Tipping: Selected by POC, he’s been a disaster in his 15.1 innings pitched with an ERA just under 10.00, 10 walks, only 3 K’s, and a -0.4 WAR. He’s only 24 so perhaps he’ll figure out how to pitch yet…but I would hide him in the bullpen and spot start him.
Ken Longoria: Selected by Baffin, he’s now a ghost.
Raymond Ritchie: Selected by Seattle, he’s a ghost.
Shawn Gutierrez: Drafted by Greenville but returned to sender.
Gilberto Silva: FINE PLYMOUTH; HE’S CHEATING!!! Not sure how, but Gilberto is now playing for Plymouth’s AA affiliate instead of being returned to Southern Cal’s minor league system. No record of any transactions in Gilberto’s history.
ROUND TWO:
Pedro Mendoza: Selected by Chicago, he’s pitched decently out of the bullpen although recent trends are not very encouraging as he’s given up 4 runs in 4.1 innings the last two games. In 9 appearances, he’s pitched 12 innings, with a 4.50 ERA and a 0.1 WAR.
Ryobe Yamamoto: Cleverly done by STL to take 6.8 million off the books! Maui selected Ryobe and has paid him the big bucks to start one game where he hit .500 and has walked once. In that one game and one other plate appearance, he’s earned a 0.1 WAR! Perhaps he would have more stats, but he got hurt and is currently on the disabled list.
Kyle Harrison: Despite being disparaged by IRV GM Rice, Harrison continues to play pretty well at the BSA level considering he’s never been above A level ball before. The fact that he’s the starting SS for St. Charles is a bit shocking – he’s not exactly a defensive wizard there and has already committed 5 errors and has a -0.7 zone rating. Offensively, he’s hit .278 in 80 plate appearances, walking 6 times while striking out 22 times. He’s hit 1 double, 2 triples, and 1 home run scoring 11 runs on the season while batting in 3. He’s only at 0.1 WAR but is on pace for a 1.0 WAR.
Cliff Long: Selected by Nevada, Cliff has been a decent #5 starter in their 6 man rotation. On the season, he’s started 4 games, has a 4.98 ERA that was much lower before two recent poor outings where he gave up 5 runs to both SNF and NFF (really, those teams?) averaging 7.1 Ks/9 for a 0.4 WAR and a 2-0 record.
Alberto Chavez: Selected by Fresno, he’s a ghost!
Ron Edwards: Baffin took Edwards and he’s seen 24 plate appearances and 4 starts thus far at first base. He’s currently hitting .261 with 3 doubles for a 0.1 WAR.
Jesus Martinez: Selected by Seattle, he’s been a solid situational pitcher out of the pen although his auxiliary stats seem to indicate he relies on his fielders with only 2.5K/9 (but he doesn’t walk people at all!). He’s currently sporting a 2.45 ERA. While he’s seen action in 9 games, he’s clearly a situational lefty as he’s only pitched 3.2 innings for a -0.1 WAR.
Dan Hooper: Selected by Greenville, Dan has played quite a few games after coming up from AA ball from Irvine’s organization as he’s played in 14 games in April seeing the plate 57 times where he’s hit .245, 2 homers, scored 5 runs, batted in 6 and sports a -0.3 WAR while learning CF on the fly in the pros (So far, this experiment has not gone splendidly with 3 errors in 12 games and a -4.3 zone rating. He’s a wiz in LF defensively but for some reason that’s not where he’s playing. I’d be playing Rosas in CF but I’m sure Greenville’s GM has a plan?
Alejandro Ramos: Selected by Plymouth, he’s a ghost!
ROUND THREE:
Juan Gonzalez: Selected by Maui, this 31 year old has pitched just fine out of the bullpen as he sports a 4.66 ERA (decent in Maui!), 2-1 record with 1 save, and almost 10 innings pitched. The fact that he’s walked 7 batters in those 10 innings might be a bit disconcerting however but at the moment he sports a 0.0 WAR.
Bill Hines: This 25 year old was selected by St. Charles and has also been thrown into the fire as a starter. In four games started, this pitcher has a 6.23 ERA, 22 innings pitched, given up 5 homers, walked 11 while striking out 18 for a -0.2 WAR. Interestingly, KCK kicked his butt in his final start of spring training beating him 14-5 (although he actually pitched okay in his 4 innings of work) and then welcomed him officially to the Pros by beating him 14-5 once again (this time he sucked as he gave up 7 runs in 3.1 innings pitched).
Carl Willis: Selected by Nevada, he was returned to Nashville before the start of the season.
Jaime Rodriguez: Selected by Fresno, he’s a ghost!
ROUND FOUR:
Alejandro Longoria: Selected by St. Charles to serve as the long man out of the pen. He sucks. I mean, nobody cares since he’s pitched in games the team has lost by 6,7,9, and 10 runs. He sports a 7.27 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, 5/2 BB/9 but does show some ability with the K as he averages over 10K/9 which helps him gain a 0.2 WAR to date. He’s definitely been unlucky so far with his BABIP as its around .430.
Isaac Pope: He’s stuck around and pitched extremely well in Nevada with a 0.92 ERA in 19.2 innings which also includes 2 starts, 13 K’s, and a 0.6 WAR while earning 1 win and 2 saves. At only 24 years old, perhaps he can have a bit of a future in the BSA with his plus curveball and decent changeball.
Jerry Beck: The one man from this draft who isn’t a ghost in Fresno although perhaps he should be considering his 7.11 ERA in 4 appearances out of the pen where he’s given up 3 home runs in 6 innings of work and sports a -0.3 WAR.
ROUND FIVE:
Irwin Conway: This 24 year old has been serviceable out of the pen in his 8 innings of work in St. Charles earning 2 saves while striking out 4 for a 0.0 WAR.
Ken Burris: Selected by Nevada, he’s a ghost!
ROUND SIX:
Doug Brown: Selected by Nevada, he’s a ghost!
