Message: [QUOTE="kris1, post: 2713110, member: 1840"] It’s very likely he gets drafted. There are a few teams that absolutely love his game. It’s also likely it won’t be in the first 3 rounds. Although Winkel is a rare plus, plus catcher (most are either really good with the bat or really good with the glove), he’s not one of those can’t miss players that MLB teams covet. He could also use some time to continue to develop physically. I have also heard what [USER=549]@huskymedic[/USER] heard. He’d like to play with his brother again. He loves UConn. I think it will all come down to two things...the right team and the signing bonus. If the team that drafts him, is the team he has at the top of his list and they offers him the right signing bonus, he’ll consider signing. I think he’s a kid whose draft stock will improve in college. He’s done very well against top competition on the summer circuit. He still has some room to grow physically in terms of his build and power potential. High school really hasn’t helped him wow scouts this season. Yes, he still has great numbers and has shown off his arm behind the dish, but some teams have chosen not to pitch to him. I’m not sure how many times he’s been intentionally walked but it’s been quite a few. My gut tells me he will be in Storrs.... [/QUOTE]
