Scott Robinson signs

by David OhNo on May 23, 2007 7:02 PM MDT

In Baseball America's Florida Rundwon for the 2007 Draft, they discuss the last DFE's and give a nice mention of new "Rockie" Scott Robinson, who has signed for 105,000. If you have a Baseball America subscription, you can read more about it here.

The Okaloosa-Walton JC baseball site isn't the greatest with its statistics, so if my simple math is right, he hit .366 with 12 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, and 11 SB. Baseball America considers him a plus runner with plus power potential, and at 6'0 180 lbs., there could be some projection to his build.

Coming into the draft, I believe one of our main focuses should be on toolsy outfielders, even those with high risk. Signing DFE's like Robinson could help the cause. I would expect him to join fellow late signees/DFE's Lowe and Murry in Casper.

Casper

is looking in the preliminary going that it is going to have some nice positional prospects. Robinson, Lowe, Murray... Carlos Martinez and David Christensen are two other players that could be playing in Casper.

Christensen in Casper?

Do most think that Christensen will be back in Casper again?

Unless he's taken a big leap forward

with his contact skills and the Rockies feel he's got the confidence to succeed at Tri-City from the start, I think he's likely to at least start the short season at Casper to be able to taste some success there and put up big Pioneer League inflated numbers before moving to the NWL.

Agreed

Because I know that Tri-City is not the place for hitters to regain confidence. It would be nice to see him get off to a real hot start and just skip to Asheville, but I doubt that.
