Anthony Ranaudo is a guy we ventured over the river and through the woods to get a look at. I’m on the record for my thoughts on this guy and I think the video will show why I feel the way I do.

You can take LSU right-hander Anthony Ranaudo in the first round if you like, but enter into the deal with the expectations that the build up for this guy will not meet expectations at the major league level if he does not address some serious issues immediately. I base these conclusions off a six-inning look at the UCLA Regional, where I was excited to finally see Ranaudo, but disappointed with what I saw.

Your information is only as good as the savvy of your sources. I like what I can relay to my readers here. The quotes here are from a regional source with playing and scouting experience. As I said earlier, these are not my words thinly veiled. I saw a few of these guys last summer on the Cape. (more…)
