As I said in my teen notes from the main post, I like Carlson.  He throws 90-94 with sinking movement, and has a changeup, a pretty strong slider, and quite a bit of polish for being a cold weather teen. I could have lived with this pick in the first.  In the second? Love it. He can be absolutely dominant and has a pretty strong frame already.

I'm not the only one who thought he was a first-round talent. Now my only concern is whether the Mariners can buy him out of his Florida commitment. As far as talent, though, he might jump to the #1 pitching prospect in our system. He's a talented kid.
