Ended up with Storey. Very happy with him. Prototypical RF build, and great starting SI (8 hitting in particular is very good for a 17 year old in rookie ball). Think there is a decent chance Storey ends up better than either my first or second rounders of this season. Depends on if he can generate some launch angle.

Didn't have much for pitching prospects, but had a SS with this scouting report: He can be a very good hitter. He can develop into an above average slugger. He is really quick. He has very good overall potential. For Round 5, I had to give him a look. Although I need pitching, and he certainly isn't a shortstop, I think he will be alright in the OF.

As a 12 POT he's going to have to max out to get his other skills up to match his hitting, otherwise he might just be a reserve. Went college like 12twelve but didn't land a Campbell. Did land a 13 POT in Barrett, but he might not last. He'll get a pass for now as I had to cut two pitchers to make room for promotions.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5202 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Heh. Let's not lose context here. I think Storey is very nice for a 5th round 12 pot. I'm not expecting him to become the face of the franchise. I still think he could be better than my 1st and 2nd rounders (not saying much). His good starting SI makes me think he has a decent chance at 102-103. I don't really care about his BC and PD. The bigger issue is the lack of speed and power scouting. I don't need singles hitters. He's going to have to be one of those 8-9 power guys that somehow hits 20 HRs a season.

chkwhat Joined: 11/10/2018 Posts: 9 Inactive	Well, his scouting report is: He can develop into a decent slugger. He has decent speed. He has above average overall potential.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5202 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Another tidbit about Storey. Just noticed he’s got my top prospect rating at a whopping 73.5. 4 points better than Meadows. :o

FreddyTheEye Joined: 11/11/2014 Posts: 625 Inactive	I thought I might have found a potential middle infielder this round. What do you look for in late round middle infielder scouting? How about amazing defense and decent speed and good potential? Obviously hoping for some range. Not so much.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5202 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	I was quite pleased with my 6th rounder. Schmidt isn't likely a star, but if he can keep the HRs down he could be a useful guy to have around. Worth keeping a couple seasons to see how he fares in the minors. This looked like a poor draft season after the first 3 rounds. Now looking very good.
