The general overall feeling about the 2011 draft in Southern California is that this is a down year. Certainly this is not a new sentiment and it’s been known around these parts for a while. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that every player who could have played in the showcase event at the Urban Youth Academy was here Saturday, either. There are certainly players that warranted consideration and probably some who didn’t need the exposure. But I will say this – this is a draft better geared for three years from now. There are very few players who can show you a “5” tool right now, a major league average skill. That means in some bodies you will see strength. In some bodies you will see better mechanics to bring that out. The talent is less obvious this year than it was in 2010, when guys were falling from the sky. (more…)

Travis Harrison is a big, strong dude. What we have here is an uncut BP round shot field level at Petco during the Aflac Game. Yes, I am just that good.

I have seen Travis Harrison from 2009 and into summer 2010 and will pick up his coverage again soon. The thing you come in to see him for is the raw right-handed power.

SAN DIEGO – With apologies to anyone else in this baseball game, right-hander Archie Bradley is an absolute horse.

SAN DIEGO — Here’s a look at what you got in a five-inning look Friday and a shortened BP followed by a first-round home run contest Saturday. I have to admit, it wasn’t exactly the full speed infield, use the whole field BP, or every pitcher gets a look type of look I was hoping for. But as happens in games, you have to take what the players give you. The pre-game Sunday infield was much more crisp.

Sometime in this game, left-handed hitting outfielder Billy Flamion smoked a ball high and deep down the left field line. The ball got out of here in a split second. The ball was ruled foul.
