Amateur Draft results

Angelenos.com--

The Angelenos had the 10th pick of the 2010 Amateur draft in what was considered an overall weak class. With that said however, GM/Manager buckeye86 liked what he got.

"We went pitching with the first 3 rounds. We know that pitching has been our undoing the past few seasons, so the best and cheapest way to fix that is to try your luck in the draft.

So far, the Angelenos have signed 11 of their 25 picks, including the top 3 and 5 out of their top 10 rounds. The top 3 include--

1st round pick Douglas Satterwhite. Douglas is a 20 year old Right handed starter who has great control and stamina and also has the potential to be a high end starter. He is known for his dominating fastball. Expected ML debut: 2012

2nd round pick Bo Sweeney. Bo is an 18 year old right handed starter with good control and pretty good stamina. His splits are average, but what may make him useful is his two out pitches in a 4 seam fastball and a cut fastball. He's also been very good at inducing groundballs. Expected ML debut: 2013

3rd round pick Weldon Robinson. Weldon is a 19 year old right handed starter/Reliever. He's got fairly good stamina, getting to the 6th/7th with without much problem, but his control is very shaky. He's just as dominating against lefties as he is right handed batters. He has a great fastball that will only get better. He will be a starter in the farm system, but may be converted to a RP once he hits the majors. Expected ML Debut: 2013

"I'm very excited about the quality of pitching we got in the first 3 rounds. We've added needed pitching depth in our farm system, which outside of 21 year old leftie Ned Caminiti was fairly thin. We were known as a high spending team, but the past few years we have become an organization who is dedicated to beuilding through the draft. The future is hopefully a good one!"
