AMATUER DRAFT SEASON 14 PICKS 1-16

#1

Quinton Bryne
New York
Mets
Age: 19B/T: R/R
Born: Robstown, TX
Position(s): 2B
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:4,000,000

With an Overall 99 rating this is the best player I've seen in a long time. Quinton "Special Q" Bryne is not a Omnipotent Being on a holiday from the Continuum. But his Borg like hitting may make it seem so. What makes Q so special is his power hitting + blazing speed. That makes this guy a 40-40 player every season with a 50-50 potential. His fielding skills are a little weak for 2nd base. But I'm sure Pete can live with that.This was my Number 1 ranked player ...Duh!

#3

Shea Joseph
Tampa Bay
Rays
Age: 20B/T: R/R
Born: Brewer, ME
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,820,000

Shea "Stadium" Joseph will put up GG numbers defensively and will hit well also. With average speed and baserunning skills he will be a solid Major league player. He should make the bigs in 2-3 years. My scouts missed this nice prospect.
#4

Hector Encarnacion
Philadelphia
Phillies
Age: 22B/T: R/R
Born: Kiefer, OK
Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,720,000

Hector "the Wiz" Encarnacion was my #2 ranked player, and for good reason. With Range,Glove and Power all in the 90's the Wiz will be magical.And he will confound the other teams by playing every inning without fatigue. At age 22 and poor health , he will need some magic incantations to help him reach projections.
#5

Sidney Flaherty
Chicago
White Sox
Age: 22B/T: R/R
Born: Oakland Park, FL
Position(s): P (ClA)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,630,000

Sidney "Aodh"  Flaherty was my #3 ranked player. This guy will be a perenial FOY winner when he reaches his projected 100LH and 100 RH splits. Add 89 Control and two pitches at 85 and 71 respectivley and you see why I named him Aodh. With a great health and makeup he should get close to projected numbers,even at 22.
#6
NOT SIGNED

#7

Trevor Sample
Houston
Astros
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Livonia, MI
Position(s): P (SP2)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,440,000

Trevor "free' Sample will be a very good setup guy when he hits the bigs. With great control and splits with 2 good pitches he made my list ranked #10. With health and makeup at decent levels he should make his projections in 4-5 years. I hope Ajaxx trades him so I dont have to face him 12 times a year.LOL
#8

Pedro Miro
Los Angeles
Dodgers
Age: 20B/T: R/R
Born: Thorndike, ME
Position(s): 2B/1B/LF/DH
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,250,000

I never got to see Pedro "dont look in the" Miro . Too bad. This guy can hit for power and average, especially against left hand pitching.His fielding skills will send him to the outfield where his range will help him at LF.Good health and makeup will help him reach projections but not do anything for his looks.
#9

Nap Brantley
Washington D.C.
Nationals
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Shelton, CT
Position(s): SS
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,250,000

Nap "kin" Brantley will be a nice defensive player in 4-5 years. And hitting against Righties will make ARD salivate and drool profusely.I'm not sure whether the Human napkin will fold on the basepaths? He has a 90 in baserunning but speed in the teens.This will make it interesting to say the least.Still, with great health and makeup Ard should be able to iron out the wrinkles.
#10

Charlie Morris
Toronto
Blue Jays
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Carl Junction, MO
Position(s): LF/1B/2B/OF
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,160,000

Charlie "Mansion" Morris was my #9 ranked player. He will begin to clobber the baseball in the Toronto farm system hoping to move on up to the big house one day.From what I can see he will make a very nice power hitting left fielder and Charlie will be buying his dream house in 4-5 years.
#11

Kid Priddy
Texas
Rangers
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Wise, VA
Position(s): P (ClA)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:3,070,000

Kid "I'm so" Priddy was #4 on my board and what a beauty he is! With Control,Splits,Velocity,Groundball ratio,and a 1st Pitch in the upper 80's to lower 90's. He could be the Closer/Setup pitcher of my dreams!With great health and makeup ,this may be a match made in heaven Till death do us part!
#12

Tom Pridie
Baltimore
Orioles
Age: 18B/T: R/R
Born: Scarsdale, NY
Position(s): P (SuA)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:4,752,000

Tom "I'm also"  Pridie says he's Pridier than Priddy. And while I still have a man crush on my pick, Bourbon has to love this pick. With Control,Splits and a 1st pitch in the 80's and 90's he will be a very good setup/closer.And he should reach projections with great health and good makeup. I had him ranked #7 on my board and would have been smitten , had he fallen to me. What a beautiful World!!
#13

Santos Martin
San Francisco
Giants
Age: 21B/T: R/R
Born: S Charleston, OH
Position(s): P (SP4)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:2,880,000

Santos Martin was one of many that wasn't scouted well enough. And that is my loss and wylie's gain. Santos has 100 Control with splits,velocity and 2 pitches in the 80's and 90's. Even at 21 ,with max health and makeup he should reach projection.Damn hes Priddy too!!
#14

Terry Bonds
Minnesota
Twins
Age: 21B/T: R/R
Born: College Park, GA
Position(s): 2B
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:2,790,000

I have no idea why Terry "Bear" Bonds fell to #24 on my board. This All around great prospect will be a GG canidate at 2nd base. Bear will murder RH pitching but may swing at a few out of the strike zone. With nice speed and good baserunning skills he could swipe 10 -15 bases a year. I should have ranked the Terry Bear higher.

#15

Lloyd Cortes
Seattle
Mariners
Age: 22B/T: R/R
Born: Long Beach, CA
Position(s): P (SP3)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:2,690,000

Lloyd Cortes was never scouted well by my scouts. But now I can see that he has splits,control and 2 pitches in the 80's. His stamina will make him a #5 pitcher or a great Long relief A. At age 22 he has the makeup to reach projections if toothdoc keeps a high training budget. But his health may be a problem.
#16


Toby Greinke
Pittsburgh
Pirates
Age: 21B/T: R/R
Born: Walterboro, SC
Position(s): P (SP4)
View Hardball Dynasty Profile

SIGNING BONUS:2,600,000

Yet another Unknown prospect on my board. After Lefty signed Toby "or not to be" Greinke. I can see he is a #5 or long relief guy with great control, good LH splits and a nice sinker pitch. With great health and makeup this 22 year old should get near his projections. Will he be a SP on Bullpen guy .....that is the question??
