Ranaudo is raw talent...

right now. You can see his stuff at times but he needs time to get it back.
He's a risky pick in the first round right now. Not really proven yet in my opinion. The UCLA pitcher is pretty impressive.

Drafting talent is what the entire MLB draft is about.

AR is 100 times more proven by pitching 3 years at the top level of college baseball than some high school harry that is dominating AA high school ball right now.

What do Les and Paul have in common? Both maybe lie like a dog about injuries. I don't have a problem with that.
But is clear looking at last year versu this year that AR has lost something and I got to think his injury was more severe than LSU was letting on

I admit he's got great stuff but to me a first round pick is dominant. He has a lot of upside so maybe he gets drafted on that alone. How many college pitchers get drafted in the first round after a season with a 7+ era? Just don't see it happening. I think there are more proven guys out there.

ERA is irrelevant for draft. What is important is how he is throwing the ball. Which is not bad,, but not where he was. He will be middle to late first round I suspect.

Bauer is showing AR what 1st round talent is. He has nasty stuff. Reminds me of the Arizona State guy from last season that I think is already in the bigs. I'll be shocked is AR goes before the 2nd round.

He's going to be a 1st round pick, so I think he knows what 1st round talent is

He's pretty much a lock for the 1st round...

So who would you draft. Bauer or Ranaudo based on their college careers?
I know there will be more than one pitcher taken but I think its clear who is the more secure pick. Thats why I think AR slides into the second round.

95% of the guys drafted in the 1st round are raw. You don't have any idea how the MLB draft works evidently.

If you draft on college careers plan to get fired soon.

Not true...sure its a bit undeveloped but they also put up good numbers. It not like you see a guy that can throw 95mph but never won a game b/c he couldn't throw it for a strike get drafted. AR is inconsistent, injury prone and unproven. I am not saying he's not good and won't make it to the big leagues, just saying I think he's a more risky pick in the first round. This Bauer guy isn't projected as a top 5 pick. He basically throws it just as hard but is consistent, controlled, and has 3-4 pitches that are ready for MLB.

how can a guy who's pitched 3 yrs in college and won a championship be unproven? He didn't have a great yr, but he's pitched better as the season progressed.

Ranaudo has put up extremely good numbers other than this year. It's obvious that his injury was more serious than most were led to believe.
All those HS players that get drafted are just "a bit undeveloped"? Ranaudo has already proven more than they have, and Ranaudo has a high ceiling too.
Don't let ONE injury get in the way of what otherwise has been a very good career for him. His potential is still there.

One very solid season...2 below average seasons following injuries=injury prone/ inconsistent.
