Scouting reports provided by MLB.com

Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
363	Young, Corey	Seton Hall U	LHP	L/L	6'02"	175	1986-12-30	JR	400K
123	Wieland, Joseph	Bishop Manogue HS (NV)	RHP	R/R	6'03"		1990-01-21	HS	400K
Comments: While he doesn't belong in the discussion of elite pitchers in this Draft class, Wieland does have some pretty good pitchability. Not too many high schoolers can throw their breaking ball for strikes at will, but count Wieland among the few. With the ability to command his fastball and a feel for a change, the wiry right-hander is the kind of high schooler who could move fairly well through a system and emerge as a back-of-the-rotation type in the future.

1352	Torres, Kevin	Puerto Rico BB Academy HS	C	L/R	6'03"	193	1990-02-24	HS	400K
213	Thompson, William	Grace Prep Academy (TX)	RHP	R/R	6'03"	210	1990-02-10	HS	400K
333	Springston, Clifford	U Arkansas Fayetteville	LHP	L/L	6'03"	195	1986-11-13	JR	400K
11	Smoak, Justin	U South Carolina Columbia	1B	S/L	6'04"	220	1986-12-05	JR	400K
Comments: There are a number of top-notch college first basemen in this year's class and Smoak is right at the top of the list. That's because he's got a smooth and easy swing that generates plenty of power from both sides of the plate. This isn't college power; it will translate just fine to the pro game. He can't run and is limited to first base defensively, but there will be more than enough bat to make up for those shortcomings. Enhanced Scouting Report
1023	Schlecht, Ryan	Mt Olive Col	RHP	R/R	6'04"	235	1985-07-30	5S
1461	Sample, Truman	Crowder Col	RHP	R/R	6'05"	200	1988-08-16	J1	400K
1053	Ruettiger, John	Joliet Catholic Academy (IL)	CF	L/L	6'02"		1989-09-21	HS
57	Ross, Robert	Lexington Christian Academy (KY)	LHP	L/L	5'11"	185	1989-06-24	HS	400K
Comments: Ross is a very intriguing high school lefty who is considered to be one of the better prep southpaws in the Draft class. With a fastball that's plus at times, the possibility of two decent secondary offerings, good command and outstanding competitiveness, he's the type of pitcher who always gets more out of his stuff than others might. He may not have a ton of projection, but he's already pretty good. Enhanced Scouting Report
1488	Rosecrans, Levi	Edmond Santa Fe HS (OK)	C	R/R	6'04"		1989-01-06	HS
873	Robertson, Charlie	Bella Vista HS (CA)	RHP	L/R	6'05"	190	1990-03-30	HS

1323	Pepe, Alex	Florida Atlantic U	LHP	L/L	6'01"	190	1987-04-14	JR
1143	Ogata, Jason	Oregon St U	2B	R/R	6'01"	195	1986-10-21	JR	400K
153	Murphy, Clark	Fallbrook HS (CA)	OF	L/L	6'02"	190	1989-12-18	HS	400K
89	Murphy, Timothy	UC Los Angeles	LHP	L/L	6'02"	205	1987-05-07	JR	400K
Comments: College lefties are always of interest come Draft time and this Draft class does not have a ton to offer. Murphy offers up a four-pitch repertoire that he mixes well to keep hitters guessing. His stuff isn't off the charts, but he has a good idea of how to pitch and is a battler on the mound. If he can clean up some mechanical problems, he can become a durable strike-throwing starter at the next level. Enhanced Scouting Report
1380	Morrison, Erik	U Kansas	SS	R/R	6'00"	190	1985-10-23	SR	400K
1173	Miller, Bradley	Olympia HS (FL)	SS	L/R	6'01"	175	1989-10-18	HS
483	Miller, Justin	Fresno St U	RHP	R/R	6'03"	190	1987-06-13	JR
1203	McGraw, James	Corban Col	CF	S/R	6'00"	175	1985-02-15	5S
573	Martinez, Harold	Braddock HS (FL)	SS	R/R	6'03"	190	1990-05-03	HS	400K
Comments: Martinez certainly looks the part of a future pro player with a good, athletic baseball body. He entered the season with plenty of expectations and hasn't lived up to them as performance hasn't met what many thought his potential will be. Someone dreaming about his projections will likely take a chance on him, but the question is whether it will be early enough to keep him from going to Miami. Enhanced Scouting Report
