2-2-14 - Derek Fisher
- Fisher is a 6'3", 205 LB outfielder with a pedigree unlike many in this
draft. He was a well-known prep prospect but a less than elite performance as a
senior and a big price tag allowed him to slide in the draft. The Rangers chose
not to sign him after he had a seven-figure price tag. Fisher is a bit of a
tweener. Not the immediate profile of an impact prospect. He's not an impact
guy but he could be an excellent MLB player. His floor is much higher than
almost anyone else in the draft but defensively he may be limited to LF. He has
the speed to handle center field at this point but lacks the instincts and the
route running to make that work. His arm is usable but not the level of a good
right fielder. Aggressive runners would test him and win in the majors often
enough to be frustrating. I doubt he will stick there at higher levels of pro
ball. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/2/2/5365054/2014-mlb-draft-profile-derek-fisher-of-virginia
1-27-14 – BP - Positional Preview: High School Catchers - Tim Susnara | C/OF/1B | St. Francis
(Mountain View, CA) | Commit: Oregon
Height/Weight: 6-foot-1/195 pounds
B/T: L/R Draft Day Age: 18y 2m Susnara shows a good feel for the game and a
high level of comfort behind the plate, in the box, and on the basepaths. He is
capable of producing some pop, but works best driving the ball up the middle
and to the oppo gap. His upper and lower halves can get out of sync, but the
fluidity in his swing improved over the course of the scouting season, and the
Oregon commit appears to be poised for a breakout spring if he can continue to
grow his approach and log reps. Defensively, he has solid actions behind the
dish. He’ll routinely pop in the 2.02 to 2.05 range in-game, and I’ve clocked
him as low as 1.82 during workouts, with enough arm strength and accuracy to
overcome some length in his arm swing and transfer. There’s a lot to like here,
and we could just be scratching the surface at this point. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=22662
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 65. Pittsburgh Pirates — Gregory Deichmann, SS, Brothers Martin
HS (LA) - Left-handed hitting power shortstops are a nice commodity to have,
and the 6’-2”, 190 pound Deichmann has a chance to stick at short due to his
strong arm, speed and instincts in the field. He has excellent bat speed and
can put on displays in the cage during batting practice. Even if he ends up at
third, the power and arm will play well. Committed to USC. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
