My picks: Enrique Hernandez and Brendan Donovan

Hernandez has talked a good game throughout spring training, showing his confidence, and I think it will follow through into the regular season for the Red Sox. I liked getting him and Donovan this late in the draft as both have good potential for what they could being to my team.

It felt like there were a lot of picks in these two rounds that were complete gambles, like Profar, Berrios, and Kimbrel. Those are guys with plenty of talent, but will they put it together for their respective teams this season? That’s the big question that pushed them so far down in this draft.
