Scouting Report on Tony Thomas

Tony Thomas 2B 5′10 180lbs R/R Thomas split the most prestigious college baseball award, the Golden Spikes, with the first pick overall David Price this past offseason. Still Tony was taken 96 picks later, when the Cubs nabbed him with the third pick in the third round. Thomas saw quite a few unproven high school infielders taken before him due to most scouts believing that Thomas was a finished product and his range for improvement was limited. When Thomas was still available in the third round, Wilken and associates could no longer pass on the ACC player of the year. Tony did not disappoint as he signed early and reported to Arizona (rookie ball) for a short stint before raking it up at Boise (short A).
