Scouting players Reds got for Mike Leake

The Reds got right-hander Keury Mella and infielder Adam Duvall in the trade for Mike Leake early Friday morning.

Baseball America had Keury Mella ranked No. 4 in the Giants' system after the 2014 season and Duvall No. 13.

Here's the BA scouting reports:

Mella: "A product of trainer Luis Cordonado's complex that has produced Carlos Marmol and Juan Carlos Oviedo, Mella is yet another payoff from the Giants' productive scouting of older Dominican pitchers. He didn't sign until he was 18, but he still got a $275,000 thanks to his present stuff. Mella was shut down in late June 2014 with a minor rotator cuff injury. He returned to the mound six weeks later, but the Giants left him at shortseason Salem-Keizer to help the team push for a playoff spot. Mella could end up with three plus pitches. He gets swings and misses with his plus 93-96 mph four-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders. Working from the extreme first-base side of the rubber, his cross-fire delivery generates some deception, and like many pitchers working from their glove side, he finds it easier to locate to both sides of the plate. His 78-80 mph curveball shows good depth and sharp 11-to-5 break at its best. It projects as another potentially above-average pitch, though it's still erratic. His changeup flashes plus as well. The Giants are impressed with Mella's tendency to remain a step ahead of hitters with an intelligent approach on the mound. Some scouts see him as a future reliever because they aren't enamored of his delivery, which has some violence and finishes with recoil, but so far he's shown the strength to repeat, and his above-average control has allowed him to regularly work six innings on limited pitch counts. Mella heads to high Class A San Jose in 2015, ready for a full workload. He has most everything scouts look for in a potential mid-rotation starter--he throws strikes with potentially above-average stuff."

Duvall: "Duvall and Chris Dominguez have been teammates both at Louisville and with the Giants. Dominguez was a higher pick (third round, 2009), but Duvall has had more success as a pro. A college shortstop and second baseman, Duvall has moved to third as a pro, but he's got below-average range there and has throwing accuracy issues that have made him unplayable in the big leagues. He stayed at first with San Francisco, where he's raw but has a chance to be a fringe-average defender. Duvall's calling card is his plus power. He has extremely strong hands that produce plenty of power, but thanks to a good understanding of the strike zone, he makes solid contact as well. His ability to backspin the ball generates plenty of carry. Duvall's power gives him a chance to stick around the big leagues, either as a backup corner bat in San Francisco or possibly for another team where he can play first base."
