The draft starts at noon today. I will be updating this post as the picks happen with information on each player we take. I will start a new topic for rounds 11-20 when we get there.
Round 2 selection: Gabriel Rosa – CF – Colegio Hector Urdaneta
Vitals
- Born: 7/2/93
- B/T: R/R
- Height: 6′ 4″
- Weight: 185 lbs
Scouting Report
He has some good speed and range. He is said to have some good power potential, but is still considered a bit raw. He was considered the top hitter from Puerto Rico this year.

Round 3 selection: Anthony Cingrani – LHP – Rice
Vitals
- Born: 7/5/89
- B/T: L/L
- Height: 6′ 5″
- Weight: 205 lbs
Scouting Report
Fastball: Has touched 98, but works 93-95 MPH.
Curveball/Slider: Not sure how good it is at this point, but he throws it in the low 80’s.
Mechanics: The arm action is a bit funky, which you can see in the video below. But here is a quote from the Houston Chronicle from May this season (video from March 2010):
The Owls had Cingrani pitch in a summer league to work on his mechanics, and the process continued when he returned last fall. One day during the offseason, Pierce had Cingrani shorten his delivery with a more compact motion as they played catch on the concourse at Reckling Park. At the same time they also worked on another glitch — this one discovered by head coach Wayne Graham — that called for Cingrani to quicken his arm action in sync with his leg lift. The results: better control (10 walks in 50 innings) and increased velocity (from 86 mph last season to consistently reaching 90 to 94).
