Tampa Bay is on the clock with the #1 pick....
Just reported this morning, Tampa is expected to selecet LHP David Price out of Vanderbilt. Here's what a Tampa paper says about him. Seems like a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Price, 21, finished his junior season 11-1, 2.63 with a school-record 194 strikeouts (and only 31 walks) in 133 1/3 innings, allowing a .199 average.
His best pitch is a 95 mph fastball, and he has a nasty slider he can throw at any point in a count. The 6-foot-5, 215-pounder's changeup isn't as refined as he didn't need it much against overmatched college hitters.
Note: Not mentioned is his 78-80mph Slurve
Next on the clock is Kansas City....
