John Sickles - NL EAST Draft Analysis

New York Mets: First-rounder Gavin Cecchini (SS, Louisiana HS) has already signed for a below-slot bonus. His glove is sound but opinion about his bat is mixed. Supplemental choice Kevin Plawecki (C, Purdue) is a solid hitter with good plate discipline, some power, and fine defense behind the plate. I like him. Second-round pick Matt Reynolds (3B, Arkansas) has an impressive glove and a chance to hit enough to play regularly. Second-round choice Teddy Stankiewicz (RHP, Texas HS) has a good fastball, already throws strikes, and is projectable. He could be a bargain. Third-round pick Matt Koch (RHP, Louisville) throws hard but was surprisingly hittable in college. The middle round picks were a mixed lot, then they switched to pitching after the 10th round. The development of preps Cecchini and Stankiewicz is the key here.


the rest of the division...
