Seiler on Deck McGuire

Pretty good inning-by-inning report. From the report, he comes off as a polished mid rotation starter. Low 90s velocity, but 4 average-to-plus pitches.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Royals Retro be keen on him, and it seems the Padres are as well.

He was pretty impressive for opening day in February.

But then again, the hitters on Missouri State aren’t that good.

It is hard to know this far in advance

But of the top 3 guys are off the board (Renaudo, Taillon, Harper), I hope the Royals take a long look at him and AJ Cole.

I'll be at most of McGuire's home starts.

So I can let you know who from the Royals shows up.

awesome

And keep us up to date on any of the position guys that may be worth drafting too.

He’s tall (which Dayton will like) and already has command of four pitches. I think he could be in the majors pretty quickly. I still like Ranaudo and Taillon (and Harper) above him, but if there are signability/injury concerns with any of those three, McGuire wouldn’t be a total reach for the #3 pick.

I think we pick #4

and I just hope we don’t pick Ranaudo (I have these associations with him and Andrew Miller in my mind). Harper and Taillon would be great. With Taillon, I think there’s a glimmer of hope that he falls to us.

Would McGuire be a comp to Matusz?

Duh

I don’t know why I had it in my mind we drafted third. Yea, it will probably be down to McGuire, Cole, Sale and Colon with maybe Levon Washington as a dark horse. Some guys that could soar up boards this spring are Manny Machado, Yordy Cabrera and Austin Wilson.
