Montaous Walton is a great talent that was definitely one of the quickest guys in this year’s draft class along with levon Washington. i believe Walton signed a free agent deal with an organization, but i cant remember with who. anyway whoever he signed with, he is gonna be dominant for sure.

Travis,

I’d be happy to treat you to the internet equivalent of a round of drinks if this prediction really does come true. I’m still not sure how you know what you claim to know, but I love the conviction you bring to the table. Thanks for reading/commenting…

I debated long and hard between Turner and Matzek for the Giants pick in the soon-to-be published updated mock, but the bottom line is I agree with your assessment that they are very likely to pitch a HS pitcher at this point.

The rumors of Miller to Washington are very interesting. I can’t say I really get the logic behind it (Miller may be a relatively signable HS player, but he still has the leverage of a college scholarship to use if need be), but it’s a hot enough rumor that there could be something to it. Consider me intrigued…

Thanks for commenting, Josh.

Thank you, Sissy – that’s been driving me nuts for weeks and it’s great to get definitive word one way or another.

Joshua, awesome stuff as always. Sorry it’s taken me forever to respond, but I always appreciate your insight and analysis – the comments on Raley, Heckathorn, and the Yankees were all especially helpful and informative. Hopefully you’ll be up to the task in a few days when I put up an updated version of the mock. I think you’ll like a lot of what you see…with the exception of my stubborn refusal to move away from Borchering to the A’s.

Good stuff, thanks. Definitely need to fix that mistake on Wheeler. An updated mock will be posted soon, but I’m pretty sure I kept Borchering to Oakland…but I’m also pretty sure Purke was already off the board in that version. I don’t know why I think Borchering is a good fit for Oakland, it’s just one of those picks I keep coming back to.

playball academy montaous walton could be projected to go in the middle to late rounds, one of the most quickest and talented infielders
in the draft

Astros are taking Zack Von Rosenberg if he is available with the 21st pick.
