/r/MLBDraft Player Discussions: 1B Brent Rooker, Mississippi State

Oh wow! That would be something if White was anywhere near the player Springer is. I was leaning toward putting him in my Wouldn't Mind category for guys I want the Jays to draft but after hearing from you that a good comp according to some is George Springer in terms of his swing, I very well might put him in the Want Category for my Blue Jays.

Random thought here but would love for my Blue Jays or you Padres to snag some of these underperforming guys in the Rule 5 Draft this year with big upside that have either been mismanaged by organizations in terms of development, been hurt or just underperformed. Trey Ball is probably getting protected as he's having a fine season in Double A but I woulld've tried him as an outfielder as an amateur, he was compared to Shawn Green (Padres were prepared to take him as an outfielder). Guys like Hunter Dozier, D.J. Peterson, Braden Shipley, Chris Anderson, Marco Gonzales. Hunter Harvey, Billy McKinney, Rob Kaminsky, Ian Clarkin, Tom Windle, Alex Balog, Carlos Salazar just to name a few guys who may be left unprotected by teams at the end of the year.
