Well... Nimmo.

I still feel the same as I always have; like the talent, don't like that high.

Law's scouting report:

Quote:
Nimmo's high school in Cheyenne, Wyo., doesn't have a baseball team, so he spent the spring playing with his American Legion club after opening eyes all last summer on the showcase circuit.

He has strong hands and good hand-eye coordination, with a frame that looks built for some future power if he can get a little more rotational. He has the arm to play right field and has shown good speed in the past, although he's been bothered this spring by tendinitis in his right knee, which is the same knee he had ACL surgery on in 2009.

The biggest problem for scouts, however, is the fact that Nimmo won't see high-quality pitching this spring. His swing looks good, but evaluating his plate discipline or ability to catch up to better velocity will be tough.

Nimmo's the pick. Too early for me. But this is apparently the "best bat in the country"

I wanted one of the college SP's as well but I'm strangely happy with this pick.

Surprising from this group that they went with a HS OF'er. I would have thought they would go the college SP route.

But the must have seen something of him to take him.

I remember being jealous watching other teams take high-ceiling prep bats in the draft the past five or six years.

Let's hope Nimmo becomes our Jay Bruce.

But..... I trust our FO and let's see where this go. Gotta love that they went hs high-upside here. Gets me a little excited about the direction we could be going in for the rest of the draft.
