School: LSU
Drafted: 39th overall pick of the 2010 draft by the Boston Red Sox
Scouting Report: Entering the spring as perhaps the top college arm in the country, Ranaudo missed a chunk of time with an elbow issue. Brought back slowly, he has struggled to regain the form that made him such an elite prospect in the first place. More than anything, he's struggled to find a feel for the strike zone, and for keeping the ball down in it like he had in the past. How he finishes his season will go a long way toward determining his Draft stock, but the injury, together with being advised by Scott Boras, make him very difficult to place. ~mlb.com

I'm guessing 'Truth' is a fellow SEC player who hasn't fared well against Ranaudo.
Congratulations Anthony on being selected by the Red Sox!

Truth your full of $hit. How the f|_|ck does a 20 year old have a drinking problem. The kid is in college, if he drinks he drinks. He obviously doesn't have much of a problem because he always pitches a hell of a game. Your most likely just a jealous parent because your kids are pot heads and aren't doing jack with their lives or your just a low life fellow who has nothing else to do but bash one of the future Pro baseball players. Get a life dude seriously. And if you are wondering exactly who I am, I played against the kid for damn near 5 years, and he's no joke.

Anthony doesn't have a drinking problem. "Truth" is just some guy who went 0/4 with the ever-painful golden sombrero against Ranaudo.

In 2008 Anthony worked with my 8 year old son at the Yarmouth-Dennis baseball camp. It was a very good experience for my son. Anthony is a quality individual.

Ranaudo sounds to be pretty nasty and a possible good pick anywhere in the top 5, but I have a few concerns I need to see answered before I peg him as a definite elite draft prospect. First, I know nothing about his 3rd pitch. I have heard he has a plus curevball, but what about the changeup? Is it decent? Also, what velocity range is he at now? Toward the end of the season last year, he lost a few ticks off of his fastball making him a bit more hittable, but if he proves that he can sit in the low to mid 90's all season long and also can maintain his secondaries throughout the season, he is a definite top 5er

I go to LSU, and played baseball most of my life. IMO what's best about Ranaudo is his presence on the mound and intangibles off the field. Not to mention he can throw some nasty stuff too. I think he's a can't miss.

Couldn't agree more. We have him as the #3 available player in the draft. Behind only Harper and Taillon.

If this guy has good control I dont see how he couldnt go in the in the top ten. especially with a good off speed to go along with his mid 90s fast ball.
