from Kevin Goldstein
Oakland takes Grant Green. No surprise here at all, and a nice break for them. Last year, they hoped and prayed that Smoak would drop to them and just missed out, this year Green was the guy they hoped would fall, and he did. I think Oakland got away with a truckload here. Green is a better player than half the guys selected ahead of him.

Focus Area Comments
Hitting ability: Green got off to a slow start in 2009 and was striking out more than usual. He was chasing pitches and getting himself out. He’s started to come around though, hitting balls in the gap with his inside-out swing.
Power: He does have it — he’s capable of turning on an inside pitch and driving it — but he has more of a line-drive stroke that shoots balls in the right and left-center field gaps. He could be a 15-20 homer guy down the road.
Running speed: When he’s going full-tilt, he’s got solid-average to plus speed and can really get down the line.
Base running: He is a little bit low energy at times, but does turn it up when he wants to.
Arm strength: He’s got a solid-average to plus arm which is very accurate.
Fielding: Has good glove action, though like with his hitting, he struggled early, making uncharacteristic errors.
Range: He’s a little better to his right than up the middle, making the play in the hole better than the one to his glove side. But he’s capable of making all the plays.
Physical Description: Green is lean and wiry with an athletic frame and strong wrists. He has some room to get stronger as he matures.
Medical Update: An ankle injury on the Sunday of the series with UCLA forced him to miss a Tuesday doubleheader, but he was back at short the following weekend.
Strengths: He has five-tool potential at a premium position. He’s capable of hitting for average and a little power while playing a fine shortstop.
Weaknesses: He can be a little low energy and has frustrated some at times with a perceived lack of effort.
Summary: Premier college shortstops don’t come around all that often and when they do, they get drafted early. That should be the case for Green, who has the potential to shine on both sides of the ball with all five tools. He shook off some early struggles to perform up to expectations, though his lack of energy at times has bothered scouts. Even with that, he’s a confident and accomplished college player who shouldn’t wait long to hear his name called.

Some good reading.
Green has very good range and a good arm and should stay at SS for many years to come, but he’ll need to do better than the subpar 17 errors in 41 games this summer. However, in my brief chat with his Cape Cod (Chatham A’s) manager, John Schiffner, I was told that the grounds are rough and that Green was getting to a lot of balls that most SS’s couldn’t. Schiffner compares Green to Evan Longoria, whom he also managed, and loves the kid. A move to third down the road is not out of the question, as he adds weight and loses range. Green has good power potential and a good eye at the plate, and a big help to his accolades rest in his stellar performance in the wood bat Cape this past summer, where he hit .348, with 6 HR’s, 21 RBI, went 10/13 in SB’s, walked 28 times, struck out 38, and had a line of .348/.451/.547/.998, all in 161 AB’s.

"Move to 3rd not out of the question"
We should just remember the basic advice on picking SS, CF, and C as much as possible — if they aren’t quite up to par defensively, they can still contribute at 3B or RF. Pick a 3B who’s not that good and you’ve got another 1B or DH.
And, in the A’s case, a 3B would be fine, too.

For those mad about Purke.
Andy Seiler: I think this is a mistake, depending on how much he signs for. This will hamstring the Rangers in their other picks, and I hate his delivery. This will take some work, but I know the Rangers have a long-term development program. But this seems strange to me.

Instead of average where they count all hits equally,
A single is 1, a double is 2, triple is 3, and HR is 4. All added up, divided by at bats just like average.
by danmerqury on Jun 9, 2009 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hitting bases/out made at the plate
So a single = 1, a double 2, etc. And a GIDP= 2 outs.
If a guy goes 1/4 with a HR and no GIDPs, he slugged 1.000 that game (4 bases/4 outs).

I don't see the problem with Bobby Crosby comparisons
If you all remember, Crosby was turning into a very good shortstop before he started getting hurt every year. He also never gained the ability to stop swinging at the outside slider. If Green can become what Crosby was projected to be, we got a GREAT pick.

It's hard to be upset about the Green pick
1. He’s by far the best draft-eligible MI
2. He’s affordable
3. No one knows if we’d have even drafted Matzek or Crow if they’d fallen
4. Who else was there? If Matzek or Crow wanted too much money (maybe Purke too), who’s left? Shelby Miller? I prefer Green anyway.

Green quote from Goldstein
I don’t know if this has been posted yet but coll quote…Kevin Goldstein (4:17:13 PM PT): Oakland takes Grant Green. No surprise here at all, and a nice break for them. Last year, they hoped and prayed that Smoak would drop to them and just missed out, this year Green was the guy they hoped would fall, and he did. I think Oakland got away with a truckload here. Green is a better player than half the guys selected ahead of him.

From earlier
Scheppers if hes there (please god i don’t believe in you but make this happen)
Names to think about in the 3rd round
I <3 Tommy Mendonca, who would not only fit a need but would be a great value pick. He K’s way too much but his defense is really really fantastic. Andy Seiler says there is only about a 20-30% chance of him lasting to us :’-(
Kendal Voz – starter/reliever from Baylor might be a great value if you can keep him in the starting rotation. Has a nasty slider and in the pen got up to 97 as a closer for Team USA, though as a starter hes more in the 89-92 range. He also has a change which gets the 10 mph differential. While some may think that being mostly a reliever presents added risk there is also probably less mileage on his arm than 3 year starters. Could be a sleeper in the third.
Josh Pleghy has a good bat for a C, thought there are some concerns about his power translating to wood, but the real question is his ability to stay behind the plate. He has some problems with pitchers with a lot of movement (he will never catch Tim Wakefield) and has stone hands. His arm is average with good strength but sometimes he rushes and it affects his accuracy. Might be a good risk in the third.
Luke Baily was a first round talent as a high school Catcher with few questions about his ability to stay there and some raw power projection. He blew out his arm and needed TJ surgery in May. Could be a good value if you want to rehab him.
Colton Cain is a prep lefty from Tx who throws a heavy sinking 94 mph fastball. His other pitches curve and change up are inconsistent but his change up shows potential and some think that his motion would adopt a hard slider well. Definitely a project.

I've met the guy before.
He’s one of the cockiest SOBs I’ve ever encountered. Granted he and I were both drunk, but nevertheless, what an asshole. I did some research on the fellow after the encounter. A real class act. Also, I talked to one of his ex-classmates in HS. For what it’s worth, my “source” told me in junior year he was standing at 5’7" 140, and strongly suspected that Jackson was on some type of illegal supplement. Whatever, the Cubs deserve him.
Oh, and for those wondering, no Jackson did not come in and snake my girl at the party, but I could see why one would think that. He really just was that big of an jerk.

You're correct
He’s a complete douchebag. I went to the same HS as him and I was on JV when he was a senior. He always had raw talent but never seemed to fully tap into it. Kinda surreal to see someone I know getting taken in the 1st round though…

Went to high school with the guy,
He can come off a little cocky but for the most part he’s a really good guy. Always treated everyone with respect, and probably the hardest worker I’ve ever met. Also, his junior year he was proably as tall as he is now, just not as bulky. From what I hear, he is constantly in the weight room.
I’ve got to hand it to the guy, I always doubted his ability and he continues to prove me wrong. Congratulations, Brett.
