I wasn’t wild about Pratto, but I don’t hate it either. I don’t see super high-upside, maybe a Casey Kotchman-type, unless he really exceeds expectations on power. We’ll see. I agree with you on not taking prep catchers – heck, I don’t really think you should take catchers in the first ten rounds unless it is obvious they are stars, but perhaps that is because I felt burned by Brent Mayne. This kid at least looks decent.

Really like their strategy of going after JUCO arms. Tillo looks pretty legit and Steele has some nice stuff. Gigliotti is by far my favorite pick, seems like a real steal in round four and he looks like a perfect leadoff hitter – maybe a David DeJesus with Joey Gathright speed.
