2009 Prospect Draft Results

Posey at 9, Matusz at 15, Weeks at 35 and Friedrich at 42 all seem like steals to me. Hicks at 7 seems like a complete overreach. I can maybe understand Viciedo at 4 if someone needs help in the OF almost immediately, but it still seems like a major reach, and I don’t think he has the same kind of upside as the other guys in the top 20, not to mention that he still might not move that fast.

This probably looks pretty typical of one of those drafts where half the people know what they’re doing and the other half just know the team they follow closely and thus overrate that team’s players.

Yeh gotta agree with OldProspects here and say Matusz is a little low, he should be a top 10 pick imo. Hosmer @ 10 will be the steal of this draft in 3 years…….
