Baseball America Prospects Chat Weighs In

I noticed this in the latest edition of Baseball America's Prospect Chat:

Kevin (Phoenix): Thoughts on which one of Bochering or Davidson sticks at the hot corner? Body wise, it appears that Davidson is more athletic. Which bat do you prefer?

Ben Badler: They're both going to have to put in a lot of work to stick at the position, and sitting on the bench while their team is in the field half the time really isn't an ideal situation. It sounds like Davidson might have a small edge there, though. Not a flashy defender, but he has the arm for the position, he can make the routine plays and he shows some aptitude for charging the slow roller.

First Round Pick

I'm blogging up a storm today (hotel rooms can be boring at times).

I noticed this in the latest Prospects Chat with Jim Callis of Baseball America:

Raoul (Tucson, AZ): Jim, you didn't include Barret Loux in your list of first round picks that might not sign. Will the Diamondbacks walk away from the guy with a bum shoulder and take the 7th pick next year or will they sign him to a reduced price?

Jim Callis: I should have mentioned the possibility of Loux. Could go either way on that one. The Diamondbacks didn't want to go over slot, which is why they took Loux, so they may be more inclined to sign him at a discount than have to haggle with an unprotected pick next year.

Just felt that it was relevant event to be blog-worthy.
