Tuesday names to remember:
Tulane senior RHP – Tyler Maples – 6.2-IP, 7-K, 92-94 FB, +SL
Olympia HS (WA) RHP Michael Fairchild – 87-93
LSU 2B JaCoby Jones – 1-2, 2-R, 1-RBI, 2-BB
Arkansas RP Colby Suggs – 1.0-IP, 0-R, 0-H
Vanderbilt 2B Tony Kemp – 5-5, 1-R, 1-RBI
Miss. State RF Hunter Renfroe – 1-4
Texas closer Corey Knebel – 2.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 3-K
Tony Kemp and Jacoby Jones are 2 guys I’m keeping my eyes on this season.
Maybe I’m stupid for loving the potential on Jones but I don’t really care to be honest.There’s just too much to much too like with him if he’s having a good season.Even if he’s struggling (HOPEFULLY NOT) I’d be ok grabbing him a little later then he’s projected right now.I have a feeling regardless of the results someones going to feel like they can put it together with him and grab him at some point.
With his tools, Jacoby Jones will be an early round selection. If his tools translate into consistent results, he is a first rounder.
While Kemp isn’t a first round candidate, he is a fun guy to watch play and his speed is an asset that will get him drafted.
Jones is right behind Austin Wilson as far as college players with great tools. Hunter Renfroe and Tyler Horan would be others.
Jacobys toolbox certainly is a fullone.
I think as far as tools go Phil Ervin gets a little overlooked.Your right though even though I’m personally not a fan of Austin Wilson I do think he’s a physical specimen.I wonder if he doesn’t live up to the expectations for this season where he goes.Because everyone placing him so high usually comes with a note that a breakout is expected in fact they almost make it sound like a gurantee.So if that doesn’t happen I wonder how his stock ends up.I doubt he would drop very far same with Jacoby.
The thing about Jacoby is where you would rather have him defensively or where can he play.
Ervin gets overlooked, but it’s more due to being from a small school.
Jones could stick at second, but he also profiles well to centerfield.
