dirtball Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 With just over a month till the 2011 PG releases their latest High School Draft list, possibly one more to come toward the end of May. There are some "moving up" indications taking place, most notably will be that of Wayne Taylor, catcher at Memorial. He just completed a hitting a home run in 9 straight games, mind you in a very competitive district, (which also factors into his ranking rise). He is currently sitting at #182, but could possibly climb into the top 100, but could even break into top 50. Also, in the "Top 100" most Texas boys in the top 50 are out of the DFW area. We have a few in South Texas in the "Top 100" and quite a few sprinkled throughout the top 500, with a few listed as "rising". Probbaly one of the best draft years college, juco, and highschool combined in years.
adminbaberuth Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 dirtballWho you have in southeast tx that might get drafted?
dirtball Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Posted April 24, 2011 I have in the "Triangle Area" and I will include Lufkin, because of Chris McFarland who is # 70, then they have Reggie Wilson at #381, Amir Jaili at #415, and Reed Seely at # 444. When it gets to 500, they quit with the numeration, but still list a bunch more, I do remember Austin Stone being the first name after 500. I will have to go double check that list to make sure I get everybody. Scouting News posted their's also about 2 week ago, I will look that up too. If you want all of south Texas, it will take me a while, guessing about 30 or 40. Glad to see these kids in the hunt. I personally think a few of these boys are underrated, especially Seely.
dirtball Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Posted April 24, 2011 In my first look I didn't see Gabby, which I know the local experts are on, might have missed him, sure hope he is up there, I do remember Kellogg of Caney Creek being a fast rising name as far as being kinda close to the area.
adminbaberuth Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Who you have as the Top 10 high school prospects in Texas?
dirtball Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Posted April 24, 2011 Here you go baberuth, posted off the national rankings on new post for the top ten in Texas. Personally think that kids like Gabby, Sonnier, Seely, etc all should be present on this prospect list, and higher than ranked better, seen them play!
Guest Ranger83 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 PG is a good source, but by no means the gospel.
dirtball Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Posted April 24, 2011 ABSOLUTELY, they have never drafted one kid. Having followed them for the last 6 years they come pretty close, whereas Baseball America is more known for their minor league coverage. IMO some kids down here missing for sure. The local scouts can fix that.
