Turner I think, would like to see Newcomb finally get drafted...like him better than Freeland.


Edit: Blah, I am terrible today...

Re: 2014 MLB Draft

Solid pick for the Phillies. Kid could be in Philly quickly.

Aaron Nola

The ace of a 2013 Louisiana State pitching staff that included Twins second-round choice Ryan Eades, Nola finished among the NCAA Division I leaders in wins (12), ERA (1.57), strikeouts (122), K-BB ratio (6.8) and WHIP (0.80). He helped the Tigers end a three-year absence from the College World Series and finished his sophomore season without allowing an earned run in his final 26 2/3 innings. He extended that streak to 54 innings this spring, when he has been better than ever.

Nola isn't physical or overpowering, but he has exquisite command of his three-pitch arsenal. He effortlessly works at 91-93 mph with his fastball, which plays up because his low three-quarters arm slot produces sink and he can locate the pitch wherever he wants. His changeup is his best secondary pitch, grading as plus at times, and he can throw his three-quarters breaking ball for strikes.

Among the 2014 pitching crop, Nola is the best bet to reach his ceiling and likely will be the first starter to appear in the big leagues. His older brother Austin, who teamed with Aaron at LSU in 2012, is a slick-fielding shortstop in the Marlins system.

Re: 2014 MLB Draft

Really? Newcomb is getting no love in this draft, Turner next or he with Newcomb are in a freefall.

Lovin this pick! Right handed moto hitter, cannon arm. Perfect right field.
