SLC Draft – Rounds 1 &2

I stated earlier that I wouldn’t be taking a 1st baseman with our first round pick but I went against that statement as we selected Julio “La Bestia” Gonzalez with the 18th overall selection. A couple of prospects I had targeted were chosen right before our choice so I was going with the best available player. The 18-year-old Gonzalez has some power potential and can also play the outfield, which is where we may play him this season.

In the 2nd round, we picked up a pitching prospect in 18-year-old lefty Tommy Alford. He has good command but average stuff. We’ll start him in the rotation in Single-A and hope he will develop for us.
