Since, so few make it to "The Show"(1 in 6 per Baseball America); I'm curious to know the board's opinion.

We are sitting on six right now (Lange, Deichmann, Robertson, Freeman, Poche and Papierski). Who's your pick?

The only pick is the guy who pitches hard and was taken in the first.

Lange, with a possibility of Freeman.

Deichmann will have a great opportunity to make the league as a DH in a couple of years.

Lange would be my second choice.

If we can only pick one I wouldn't pick Poche, but I think he bounces around between AAA & MLB as a lefty situational reliever.

Lange

I'd love to see Deichmann but man he struggles with lefties

My initial was Lange, but pitchers are a crap shoot especially factoring in injuries. On the other hand, seems like every club can use a guy with the glove and speed of Freeman.

I say Lange, Freeman, and Deichmann. Krob possibly depending on if the cardinals wind up with an opening at 2nd base.

That 1-6 is skewed because there's so many high schoolers drafted based on measurables and potential, but haven't proven any level of consistency, maturity, or ability to actually develop.

I don't see Poche making it to the Bigs, but Papierski very well could. He's a very good defensive catcher.

I will be shocked if Lange doesn't make it. Deichmann should but you never know. Pap is the next best shot but all after the top two are iffy. I wouldn't count out Kramer though

Freeman. As an outfielder. Bet $1.

The 1 in 6 won't apply here. I'm thinking at least half of these guys make it to the show. Lange is my top pick, but he won't be the only one.
