Draft 13 – Casey Shane, Bobby Wahl, Sean Manaea, Jim Callis, Tom Windle

Casey Shane, RHP, Centennial HS (TX) - At 6’-4” and 200 pounds, Shane has the size and stuff to be an ace at the next level. He features a filthy, sinking fastball that sits in the low 90s and adds a low-80s change-up and mid-80s curveball that both project to be at least above-average. He had back-to-back 17-strikeout outings on March 28 and April 5, the latter being a no-hitter. He has excellent control of his pitches and great poise on the mound. Over 39.1 innings this season, he has 77 K/8 BB, allowing just 20 hits. If he is somehow still on the board when the Cubs pick at 41 in the 2013 MLB draft, he would be a great addition to the organization. Committed to Texas A&M. link

Heard Sean Manaea wasn't VG in rain today...worked at 84-87 by the 4th. Real quandary for tms, hasn't been guy he was on Cape.

Jim Callis:

        I feel very confident saying that Stanford RHP Mark Appel and Oklahoma RHP Jonathan Gray will go 1-2 or 2-1 to the Astros and Cubs. Less confident guessing (and at this points, it’s guessing) what the Rockies will do at 3. I had a scouting director tell me yesterday that he thinks one of both of the top HS bats (Clint Frazier, Austin Meadows) might drop to No. 10 or lower. The best college bats (Kris Bryant, Colin Moran) play 3B, not a position of great need for the Rockies (not that you draft for need at No. 3). I’m not sure I like any of the arms at No. 3. So just guessing here, I’ll say Bryant, who may wind up in the outfield anyway. http://ht.ly/kCfW5
