Talk around Northern Alabama has Reggie Golden in the third round. He reminds one scouting source of mine of Kentrail Davis, but from the right side. I can’t wait to see Golden again. I saw him at the Aflac game. Back home last summer, he hit a ball to left field at Joe Davis Stadium, where the Double-A Huntsville Stars play. He ran a solid 4.3 in that look. Personally, I don’t know how you put third round on this guy. That’s me. He’s a solid average runner, he’s got wood power to all fields, he’s an above-average thrower. Third round. If that happens, it’s a shame. Never underestimate Alabama baseball blood.

Reggie Golden is from Alabama, where baseball blood runs decades deep and has produced some of the best all-around players the game has ever seen. Golden has power, speed and a good arm, which make this three-tool guy a great get for the University of Alabama, if he gets that far after the draft.
