First-Round Draft Review Bonus: Best of the Supplementals

Little bonus here.  Took a quick look through the supplemental round and these guys jumped out as at least having a chance at ML careers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#34 to Toledo Chi-Chi Velez, SR: mid-80's control, splits in the 70 neighborhood and a devastating 4-seamer mean Toledo gets an actual decent reliever at 34.  His stamina isn't going to be what my scouts touted...maybe only 20.

#36 to Las Vegas - Marvin Bergman, SS: My scouts saw future Range =100 and future Glove = 100.

#46 to Honolulu - Lonny Rodriguez, 3B:  not a ML SS but a very good 3B/2B with some contact skills and power

#50 to Hartford - Todd Pfisterer, OF:  With speed/base-running of up to 100/74, he could be a pinch-runner in the NL, especially if his range gets above 80.

#52 to OKC - Stan Treadway,C:  Premium defensive catcher with some pop and a good eye.

#58 to Texas - Pat Purcell, C:  ML hitter, especially vs. righties.  Will his pitch-calling improve enough?
