Scouting reports provided by MLB.com

Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
25	Friedrich, Christian	Eastern Kentucky U	LHP	R/L	6'03"	210	1987-07-08	JR	400K
Comments: College lefties are always in high demand and, truth be told, there aren't that many upper-echelon ones out there this year. Behind San Diego's Brian Matusz, Friedrich is likely the best -- especially once he gains more consistent command -- with a repertoire that should land him in the middle of a big-league rotation in short order. Matusz may go first, but it shouldn't take long for Friedrich to hear his name, either. Enhanced Scouting Report
32	Odorizzi, Jacob	Highland HS (IL)	RHP	R/R	6'02"	175	1990-03-27	HS	400K
Comments: A high school pitcher with "helium," Odorizzi is moving up charts thanks to an excellent repertoire, good command and smooth delivery. He's got four offerings that grade out as average or better, a projectable frame that has room for growth. The only things that could hold him back are some questions about his competitiveness on the mound and a commitment to Louisville. Enhanced Scouting Report
60	Ladendorf, Tyler	Howard Col	SS	R/R	5'11"	190	1988-03-07	J2	400K
Comments: Ladendorf was drafted by the Giants in the 34th round last year (the second year in a row he'd been drafted in that round), but he opted to return to Howard for another season. There's little question his Draft stock has risen since then as he's shown the ability to run, hit for power and field his position pretty well for a player his size. He may not be a shortstop long-term, but he's more than athletic enough to handle a switch. Wherever he plays defensively, his size and athleticism should see him get drafted for a third time much earlier than the previous two. Enhanced Scouting Report
62	Adams, Thomas	Southern Illinois U Carbondale	RHP	R/R	6'02"	180	1986-11-26	JR	400K
116	Hudson, Kyle	U Illinois Champaign	CF	L/L	5'11"	175	1987-01-07	JR	400K
135	Kipnis, Jason	Arizona St U	CF	L/R	5'10"	175	1987-04-03	JR	400K
Comments: A sophomore eligible outfielder who transferred from Kentucky after being dismissed from that team for rules violations, Kipnis will get plenty of looks thanks to ASU's star-studded roster. If he can prove he can handle playing center and runs well, that will increase his stats. Otherwise, he may be viewed more as a fourth-outfielder type. Enhanced Scouting Report
