| Orioles draft C Matt Wieters
So the Baltimore Orioles tabbed Georgia Tech C Matt Wieters with the 5th overall pick in the MLB Draft.
According to Yahoo Sports, Wieters is a "Outstanding defensive catcher with a strong, accurate arm. Best position player in draft is switch-hitter with tremendous power potential from both sides. Quietly put together solid season for Yellow Jackets: .358, 10, 59. Also served as team's closer for most of his three seasons with fastball that regularly hit mid-90s. Projected as potential All-Star catcher despite above-average height for position." Sounds like a solid pick to me. What do you think?
