Unexpected, given draft order, Kotchman’s comments in interviews, and, in Corbin’s case, performance.

At any rate, the Halos’ strategy with these guys looks brilliant: they took at advantage of bulk picks to grab a lot of guys with front-line ceilings but whose mediocre amateur performances made them risky. Even if only one of the guys makes it, his upside could be tremendous for someone who fell past the first round.

how does the Pioneer league batting champ not make the top 20. I know not many people are high on Baird, but he raked. Is he to old for Rookie ball??
