Amateur Draft

Santurce selects Brandon Snyder in the first round with the 21st pick.
Brandon Snyder is a 19 year old catcher playing for the Baltimore Orioles organization.
In real life Snyder was selected 13th in the first round in 2005.
The scouting on Snyder is, very power, good eye and should hit for a high average with a high OBP.
Athletic, strong arm, athletic and should stay as a catcher. His numbers last year at rookie and Short Season league was .291 aveage, .386 OBP and .488 slugging. Son of former pitcher Brian Snyder was drafted out of High School and always played against tough competition before turning pro.
GM Felix Vega is very happy with the acquisition and says he will go to Short Season Class A at Everett and share the catching duties with Mark Reed.
