45	Jason Taylor	Floyd E Kellam HS	SS	R/R	6'0"	0	1988-01-14	HS
46	David Christensen	M Stoneman Douglas HS	OF	R/R	6'1"	195	1988-02-11	HS	350K
Comments: Toolsy outfielder who can do a little bit of everything, with speed his best tool. Capable of playing center or right, he may have a strong commitment to Miami.
47	Joshua Butler	U San Diego	RHP	R/R	6'5"	200	1984-12-11	4YR	350K
Comments: He followed up a decent sophomore season with a very good one as the Toros' Saturday starter, beginning by shutting down Texas. With a projectable frame, his fastball touches 94 and he throws a plus slider and an improving changeup.
48	Michael Felix	Troy U	LHP	L/L	5'11"	190	1985-08-13	4YR	350K
Comments: He profiles best as a reliever with a fastball that touches 93 mph and a plus hard breaking ball. He's worked on a changeup, but he may not need it out of the 'pen.
49	Christopher Tillman	Fountain Valley HS	RHP	R/R	6'5"	195	1988-04-15	HS	350K
Comments: One of the most projectable bodies in the draft, Tillman's performance hasn't met expectations late in the season. Still, he's got a fastball that sits in the low 90s and a big overhand curve.
50	Ronald Bourquin	Ohio St U	3B	L/R	6'3"	0	1985-04-29	4YR
Comments: He has very good power potential, though he hasn't shown it in games. His bat will carry him, as his defense is adequate at best, meaning a move to first base or the outfield is likely.
51	Jeffrey Locke	A Crosby Kennett Sr HS	LHP	L/L	6'2"	180	1987-11-20	HS
Comments: A New England talent who is very projectable. His main pitch is a fastball, which has hit as high as 95 mph on the gun. His secondary pitches need work.
52	Sean Watson	U Tennessee	RHP	R/R	6'2"	215	1985-07-24	4YR	350K
Comments: A college closer with four usable pitches. He hasn't been consistent in his junior year, but when on, he's effective with a good fastball and a nasty knuckle-curve.
53	Chad Huffman	Texas Christian U	2B	R/R	6'1"	205	1985-04-29	4YR	350K
Comments: He comes from an athletic family, with brother Royce in Triple-A. His bat will carry him, both for average and developing power. He may end up at third base or in the outfield.
54	Thomas Furnish	Texas Christian U	LHP	S/L	6'1"	185	1985-01-19	4YR	350K
Comments: A no-hitter at the beginning of the season ensured that scouts would follow him. He's got a good fastball (92-94 mph) and a hard curve.
55	Brett Anderson	Stillwater HS	LHP	L/L	6'4"	215	1988-02-01	HS	350K
Comments: More like a college pitcher, he's the most polished high school arm in the draft. He throws a fastball, curve and changeup with terrific command. His father, Frank, is Oklahoma State's head coach.
56	Steven Wright	U Hawaii	RHP	R/R	6'1"	200	1984-08-30	4YR	350K
Comments: He's served as a closer, swingman and now the Friday starter for Hawaii and has shown the ability to make hitters swing and miss while keeping walks way down. He carried a five-game winning streak into late May.
57	Joshua Rodriguez	Rice U	2B	R/R	6'0"	185	1984-12-18	4YR	350K
Comments: Elbow problems cost him the shortstop job at Rice, but he rebounded by playing second and third, better fits for him defensively. With the bat, he's got gap power and good plate discpline.
58	Ryan Adams	Jesuit HS	3B	R/R	6'0"	185	1987-04-21	HS	350K
Comments: Has advanced skills at the plate with pitch recognition and a line-drive swing. Has tools to play short, but may end up being offensive 2B. Hamstring problem could cloud status.
59	Sean Black	Lenape HS	RHP	R/R	6'3"	185	1988-04-23	HS	350K
Comments: He wasn't on radars at all until he hit 95 mph this spring. His curve and changeup are works in progress, though the curve can be a plus pitch.
60	Brent Brewer	Sandy Creek HS	SS	R/R	6'2"	190	1987-12-19	HS	350K
Comments: Raw and toolsy, he's committed to FSU for football. He's got ridiculous speed, which could play well in center, though he was a shortstop in high school.
61	Wade Leblanc	U Alabama Tuscaloosa	LHP	L/L	6'3"	190	1984-08-07	4YR	350K
Comments: A polished college lefty who goes right after hitters. His fastball barely touches 90 and he's got a big slow curve to go along with it. The National Freshman of the Year, he has bounced back from an injury-plagued sophomore season (bruised collarbone) to pitch effectively in 2006.
62	Kevin Mulvey	Villanova U	RHP	R/R	6'2"	190	1985-05-26	4YR	350K
Comments: Drafted by the Cardinals in 34th round of 2003 draft, Mulvey uses a plus fastball and developing breaking ball as Villanova's Saturday starter.
63	Thomas Hickman	Pepperell HS	CF	L/L	6'1"	175	1988-04-18	HS
64	William Benson	Joliet Catholic Academy	LF	R/R	6'1"	0	1988-03-05	HS	350K
Comments: He has a power-speed combination that excites scouts. A football star as well, his interest lies on the diamond. He's raw, but projectable.
65	Andrew Carpenter	Cal St Long Beach	RHP	R/R	6'3"	230	1985-05-18	4YR	350K
Comments: A transfer from JC, Carpenter has shot up draft boards with consistent performances. He throws a fastball in the low 90s, a slider and a splitter.
66	Trevor Cahill	Vista HS	RHP	R/R	6'3"	195	1988-03-01	HS	350K
Comments: A shortstop for most of his high school career, he's shown a lot in his first full year of pitching with a good fastball and curve. He may be a tough sign with a commitment to Dartmouth
67	Sergio Perez	U Tampa	RHP	R/R	6'3"	230	1984-12-05	4YR	350K
Comments: The top Division II pitcher in the draft, he's pitched Tampa into the College World Series with a heavy fastball and a plus slider. He may profile as a reliever as a pro.
68	Dustin Evans	Georgia Southern U	RHP	R/R	6'4"	215	1984-09-24	4YR	350K
Comments: An elbow injury kept him out of action for more than a month, and his stuff hasn't returned. Still, he can hit mid-90s on the gun and has shown a plus slider at times.
69	Wesley Hodges	Georgia Tech	3B	R/R	6'1"	205	1984-09-14	4YR	350K
Comments: He's followed up a .397 sophomore breakout with a strong junior season, with a lower average but a tick more power. He has the skills to stay at third defensively.
70	Stephen Englund	Bellevue HS	OF	R/R	6'3"	200	1988-06-06	HS	350K
Comments: He has a projectable body and should play at third base or in the outfield. He's got serious power potential, but he lacks the approach to put it to use in games.
71	Justin Masterson	San Diego St U	RHP	R/R	6'6"	235	1985-03-22	4YR	350K
Comments: Transfered from Bethel to SD State after dominating in the Cape Cod League last summer. He's been inconsistent as a junior Friday starter, but scouts like his arm and his low 90s sinking fastball and a nasty slider. He could profile as a reliever down the road.
72	Robert Fontaine	Daytona Beach CC	SS	L/R	6'2"	185	1985-10-22	JR
73	Matthew Long	Miami U	RHP	R/R	6'5"	220	1984-02-23	4YR	350K
Comments: Maybe the third time is the charm; he's been drafted twice before. He had Tommy John elbow surgery in 2004 and is now getting his stuff back as college closer with plus fastball and curve.
74	Jonathan Jay	U Miami	OF	L/L	5'11"	200	1985-03-15	4YR	350K
Comments: Speed is his game and he gets on base to take advantage of it. He hit .408 in his sophomore season. He may be a left fielder down the road, but can stay in center for now.
