2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)Would you guys put any college arms still remaining at 22 above TJ Zeuch?
(Zeuch? from Pittsburgh)		I have Dakota Hudson above Zeuch on my list, Jordan Sheffield too. I think an argument could be made for Robert Tyler being on par with Zeuch, if not above because he has a secondary pitch that can miss bats right now, even if it isn't a breaking ball.
-Adam McInturff I would throw Cody Sedlock into consideration as well. James Fisher (Live Draft Chat)
2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)So, Denver with another power arm...do they have it figured out now?
(Frank from Denver)		You could argue that Colorado took the two best FB's in the draft with Riley Pint and Robert Tyler. Both of them can run it up there WITH PLUS MOVEMENT. Both guys have size and present FB velo, neither of which you can teach. While Tyler is more than likely a reliever he could be a quick riser. -SG (Live Draft Chat)
2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)What is the highest outcome for Robert Tyler? What's his floor?
(Bulldog Rockie from ColorAthens)		Highest outcome? Slider turns into a avg-abv avg pitch and becomes a 2/3 guy. In terms of size and stuff he is almost a carbon copy of Michael Wacha when he came out of the draft. Both were massive dudes with FB/CH combo and lacking a BB.

More than likely Tyler's floor is a late-inning reliever, and one that will be pretty damn good. -SG (Live Draft Chat)
2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)What is the highest outcome for Robert Tyler? What's his floor?
(Bulldog Rockie from ColorAthens)		I'm admittedly higher on Robert Tyler than most. When he's throwing strikes--and he pounded the zone, at least early in the Spring--his plus fastball and hard splitter both can miss bats. A quick aside, in Tyler's favor: I often wonder why so many 60s are put on changeups from right-handed starters who throw in the low-90s. Unless it is really a nasty fader, or really a "bugs bunny", as the saying goes, even well-sold changeups don't miss a lot of bats without velocity at the MLB level. Luckily, Tyler throws plenty hard, and as such I think his polished split-like changeup gives him another 60 pitch.

The knock on Tyler is his ability to spin a breaking ball, and if that will even get to average. As an underclassman and on the Cape, it was a below-average pitch. Another question is how much his demonstrations of control this year were for real, and how those will hold up pitching every fifth day. So long as he can throw plenty of strikes with his FB and CH while getting ahead of hitters, I think that he still can profile as a big league starter. Michael Wacha is a guy I see him similarly to, in that they're both tall, angular college righties with velocity, and the knock on both was the curveball. Wacha made some strides with his breaker in pro ball, and while he's probably a better athlete (with a cleaner arm action) than Tyler, I still personally wouldn't rule out Tyler being able to make it work as a starter.

The upside for me is a #3 or #4 guy who can strike hitters out. I suppose the floor is an inconsistent starter, though you have to think his fastball and changeup would play up as a two-pitch mix in a 'pen role so long as he's able to maintain his blow-by velocity.

2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)Thanks for the chat. What are some of the drafts that stand out so far
(Aaron Bair from WV)		Similar to the question above, coincidentally. Almost like 50 is a round number, or something...

I won't re-mention the ones just touched on. I'll add the A's, White Sox, Reds, and Rockies to that list. I like a lot of these drafts for the same reason. The numerous picks and shifting of prep players on the board probably has created a situation where an unexpected surplus of college players are available to clubs that value performance.

A's--Puk was the top guy on my board, and I am a fan of both Daulton Jefferies and Logan Shore. The A's have three big league pitchers in this mix, and it isn't crazy to think they could have three starting pitchers at that.

White Sox--I think they got two really safe bets to provide value at the big league level in Collins and Burdi. Alec Hansen had 1/1 talk because of his natural size and stuff entering the Spring, but the control was so bad he's been an afterthought of late. Chicago has a great reputation developing starting pitching internally. Collins has a big league bat and Burdi has the stuff to be the first player from this class to reach the big leagues in a relief role. What if they get Hansen to click and throw strikes, too?

Reds--Senzel and Okey are both very high-floor players, both very polished players with a good chance to contribute at the big league level. Trammell is a guy I saw a lot over the summer and as an underclassman, and I've been a fan of his for a few years now. Good blend of safety and upside so far for the Reds.

Rockies--Riley Pint has as high a ceiling as any player in this class. I'm high on Robert Tyler as well and think he could remain a starter. Ben Bowden is a physical lefty with big league pitches. The Rockies all-out assault on pitching in the Draft continues, and they've gotten some arms I've liked a lot from both the prep and college ranks the last two years.

2016-06-09 19:00:00 (link to chat)How's this crop relative to other drafts? Is it deep in terms of projectability or more top-heavy?
(Hoof Hearted from Booze Cruise)		I think overall, the 2016 class will have some value throughout--though won't be the most superstar-laden, either.

In terms of how talent is dispersed (top-heavy vs. depth), I think there's 55 or 60-grade depth, depending on how some of the prep arms turn out. When one of the strengths of a draft class is high school pitching--a demographic that usually will fall in the Draft--there's a chance for potentially high-ceiling talent outside of the first 30 picks.

Justus Sheffield, Robert Tyler, Dakota Hudson, and Alec Hansen are college arms who could have big league futures, all drafted outside the top 30 picks.

Joey Wentz, Kevin Gowdy, and Kyle Muller are high-upside prep arms also outside the earliest picks.

2015-06-08 13:00:00 (link to chat)If we are talking stupid early, how would you rank Robert Tyler, Cal Quantrill, and Alec Hansen? Any of them have SP1/SP2 upside?
(Rich from Ellicott City)		If Quantrill was healthy I think I'd put him ahead of all three. As is, I'd go Hanson, Tyler, Quantrill. (Christopher Crawford)
