Heyward, Strasburg, and Stanton, it's time to draft the next phenom



As teams prepare for their selection in the June draft, they are hoping to land the "next phenom", the franchise changer.


The Nats got their guy, a young catcher, blessed with great tools, and great skills and loads of promise.


Interesting that no player selected number # 1 has ever made to the Hall of Fame. Now there is time yet on many young players drafted to blossom, but just to be picked first overall is not any guarantee of stardom.



According to the hype, he is the chosen one, rather a lot to put on a young man's shoulders.
For the record, the Jays drafted a junior from Georgia Tech, a 6 foot 6 - 220 pound right handed picthing prospect, a guy who might project as a middle of the rotation innings eater, and might make it into the majors in a shorter timeframe.
Sorry, no photos yet on Deck McGuire , the first Jay selected in the first round. The Jays have 3 more coming soon in the Compensation Round, and that's where you have to get signable players, you cannot afford to lose free agents, and not capitalise on those picks.
So you pay your money and take your chances, and hope you get a Strasburg, a Heyward, a Stanton or a Bryce Harper, and if you can get them without finishing last, even better.
