Mariners Additional Draft Picks

The first round of  the  baseball draft went
faster than expected they had round two
and a  compistory pick as well.  Round three
thru ten expected  Monday.  I  suppose  it
moves fast could have additional  rounds to.

In round two the Mariners  drafted a college 
third baseman and the additional pick was
a high school left handed pitcher. The second
round pick is Tyler Locklear from Virginia 
Commonwealth.  Besides third base he has 
played some first base as well.  I  am  sure 
the Mariners will  try him at both positions. 
He has raw talent as far power goes. The 
Mariners haven't  had a lot of success in
the draft as far as third base goes. Locklear 
like others probably  a few years away. He is 
21 years old so how things go I expect the
Mariners  will know right away. 

Walter Ford is  the  high school  pitcher. He is
only 17 years old so has time to  develop. He
throws two breaking balls. The Mariners are
banking on his raw talent. I  am  sure he signs
Ford will see the rest of  the summer in Arizona. 

Later Monday I will post more of the  Mariners 
pick and tonight how Julio Rodriguez does in
the home run derby. Go Julio!
