Draft projection - Jordan Pries, Stanford

by StickRat on Mar 21, 2010 2:16 PM EDT

Jordan Pries is a right-handed junior at Stanford. While the more projectable pro prospect is sophomore Brett Mooneyham, who Baseball America tabbed as a potential first-round pick in the 2011 draft, Pries is the bona fide Friday night starter at Stanford. He threw a two-hit shutout Saturday against Pepperdine, his second win of the year, and his first since the sesaon opener against Rice.

My question is: Where do you guys project Pries being drafted in June. Just a spitball round would be fine. Not looking for exact slot placement. Also, if you are just out-and-out guessing, please say so or denote with an askerisk or something.

Thanks.

Pries is a 2011 arm.

I’ve seen a couple of his starts and he doesn’t really look like a first day talent to me. I could definitely be wrong about that though as my only glimpse of him has been through a webcast.

Mooneyham is much more interesting to me. In the 2 starts of his that I’ve seen, his stuff is electric, but he hasn’t any idea where it’s going. He’ll go from painting the corner with his fastball one pitch to missing by 3 feet on the next. He’ll throw an absolutely devastating looking curve ball and then have the next 2 slip out of his hand and miss completely.
