Review of 2013 Draft

Since it's quickly approaching Draft Day, I figured I might as review what appears to be the Bombers best draft, the 2013 Draft.

So without any further ado, here goes....

Round 1 - SP Aaron Harris.  Harris made his ABL Debut just 2 years after being drafted, in 2015, going 1-1 with a 12.76 ERA.  He had an expected rookie campaign of 14-9 but a 5.09 ERA.  2017 saw a setback, but in 2018, he's been stellar, going so far 3-2, with a 3.29 ERA and a WHIP of 1.40.
For his career, he's 20-21.

Round 2 - CF Bernardo Cisneros.  Cisneros made his ABL Debut in 2016 playing in 85 games and hitting a respectable .275 with 11 HR and 36 RBI's.
In 2017 he played in 157 games with 18 HR and 89 RBIs and a .276 avg.
So far in 2018 he's hitting 291, with an 820 OPS, 6 HR and 17 RBI's

Round 3 - MR Millard Joseph.  Peaked as high as AAA and sits now in A Ball with no real potential.  Still just 26 and odd's makers are putting him as a long shot to hit the ABL.

Round 4 - 3B Katsumoto Matsui.  Matsui now finds himself in AA with the Eureka Organization, as part of the trade bringing Cal Henry to South Carolina.

Round 5 - MR Bryan Mifflen.  Miflen, 28, sits in AAA and is on the verge of being called up.  Had a strong 2017 season in AAA, 8-0, 2 saves, and a 2.71 ERA.  This season he's 5-1, 6 saves and a 4.43 ERA.  What's held him back is a current WHIP of 1.88

Round 6 - MR Jim King.  King, 27, is also on the verge of being promoted.  He's been in AAA since the latter part of 2016, and this season seems to have found himself.  Right now, King is 0-4 with 3 saves and a 3.60 ERA and a WHIP of 1.34.

Round 7 - CF Leland Rey.  Rey made his ABL Debut in 2015, primarily as a defensive specialist and is a bench player.  A career .254 hitter and should hold a job with his defense as long as doesn't get greedy.

Round 8 - 1B Brett Caines.  Caines sits in AA fully entrenched behind the trifecta of Bryant, Guzman and Ortiz (AAA).  Has no future in our organization.

Round 9 - C Morgan Cairns.  Starting C in ABL.  Made his ABL Debut in 2016 when the previous incumbents O'Neill and Yarbrough were faltering.  His produced with his bat and has an average defensive ability.  In 2017 SC acquired Oditon from SEA and Cairns was moved to 2nd in the depth charts.  But with Oditon's bat still struggling, Cairns was inserted in the lineup full time and is only hitting .311 with an .811 OPS.

Round 10 - MR Pancho Ochoa.  Peaked at AA and was recently demoted to A ball because of his struggles there.  No ABL future for Ochoa.

Round 11 - MR Tom Smith.  Smith sits in AA.  While initially showing promise in A and AA with sub 2.50 ERA's, he's since been at 7.71, 7.86 and 6.46.  Still has tons of potential (3.5*) and the organization has not given up on him...yet.

Round 12 - SP Wei-Quo Xian.  RETIRED in 2014 while in AAA.  Kind of a bizarre scenario as he went from A Ball and a 1.86 ERA to AA and a 4.26 before a promotion to AAA.  He struggled in his initial doctrinarian to AAA,, but the management team had faith that his second full season would hold a lot of promise.

So to recap, the 2013 Draft has seen 4 current graduates to the ABL, and possibly 3 could make it, before this draft is put to bed.
