Arkansas finished SEC regular season today. SEC tournament
starts this week.
Andrew Benintendi ends season at 415-511-771. 21/25 SBs.
Maybe a better risk than the HS OFers? Especially as a definite
CFer? Of course, all about scouting at this level, not stats.

The Reds are supposedly in on Benintendi 13th pick so perhaps it
wouldn't be a stretch to take him at 9.

I still say draft Everett, let him go to Vandy, and have 2 picks
next year...

college over summer activities and could know sign.

*If* he scouts as a *true* CF, and *if* they scout him favorably
as a hitter, I can't imagine why he wouldn't make more sense
than the HS guys. As I understand it, Clark is one who's a
maybe CF, but not sure he's a great CF prospect defensively.
And his ugly swing with his big leg kick make him look like a
very high-risk option. Compared to a guy who's show he can
recognize pitches and has a beautiful swing and good balance
against the best college pitchers in the country in the SEC.
Seems like an easy choice.

The Reds are also interested in him at 13 from PSD.
Sure seems like a Cubs pick and the LH bat would be nice to
have.

A friend of mine that has seen Benintendi a lot referred to him
offensively as less than Schwarber and more than McKinney. No
comment about his ability to play cf in the majors.
Only one person's opinion, but if accurate, that sounds pretty
good to me for a number nine.

Has the college ball been changed to facilitate more HRs?
