This is where I hope he goes, Freak.
2016 MLB Draft prospects: Nick Senzel, 3B, Tennessee - Red Reporter
I have been pushing on every Reds' blog I can find including the team's MLB site. That would put him as the #2 pick. The Reds have an experiment going on with Suarez replacing the traded AS Frazier. It's not gone all that well and Suarez was a SS previously. So 3B is a position of need. Adam Duvall can play it well, but he is in LF now and may go to RF if Jay Bruce is traded soon as expected.
Interesting (Draft Utopia):
65. Los Angeles Dodgers: Kyle Serrano, P, Tennessee
The Dodgers have the luxury of taking the best player available. At this point, I think that player is Kyle Serrano.
Wow that's even higher than i suspected. If he goes there he 110% should go
Agreed. That is a lot higher than what I was guessing. I would have thought 200+.
Kyle Serrano is still in rehab. He may not end up being drafted at all guys. I don't think teams would take a chance on him unless he comes back his senior season & proves he can still pitch after that arm injury.
If he could do that & have a good season pitching then his draft stock goes up to a definite 1st round pick in 2017 & probably a top 10-15 pick to boot.
You couldn't be more wrong
The dodgers drafted a guy last year they knew was going to have TJ after the draft in the 1st round
Let's not forget that with his medical redshirt he will still be classified as a Junior next year so coming back could be a very viable option for him.
I said Serrano probably wouldn't be drafted. I didn't say for sure that he wouldn't get drafted. Yes, players do get drafted these days with an ongoing/current injury. Problem is they don't know what they're going to get out of that player.
I haven't really heard if Kyle wants to actually come back for his senior season or not. I do remember after the injury news his dad & coach Dave Serrano talked more like Kyle would work to come back to Knoxville for his senior season.
I think it will depend on how high he can get drafted. Maybe rounds 1-3 he can't turn the money down. Anything later than 5th round I would say he comes back to Knoxville for his senior year. That's just my guess because after his senior season he should be a 1st round lock & probably top 15 pick.
If the Phillies go with one of the high school bats at first overall, Puk probably won't drop any further than the Reds. If Puk is gone, the Reds will go with either Senzel or Lewis, and Senzel might have the edge with his strong finish to the season.
