Scouting reports provided by MLB.com

Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
1009	Jimenez, Jose	U Tampa	1B	L/R	5'10"	240	1987-01-02	JR
557	Jacobsen, Chadler	U South Carolina Aiken	1B	R/R	6'01"	210	1986-04-03	SR
3	Hosmer, Eric	American Heritage School (FL)	1B	L/L	6'04"	215	1989-10-24	HS	400K
Comments: Arguably the top high school bat in the Draft class, the lefty first baseman has drawn comparisons to Casey Kotchman for his advanced hitting approach, though he might not quite be there. He's got a ton of upside with the bat, both in terms of hitting for average and power and he's surprisingly nimble defensively. Teams who like high school hitters with potential to move fairly quickly will be on Hosmer all spring. Enhanced Scouting Report
1001	Hoorelbeke, Sean	Central Michigan U	1B	R/R	6'00"	220	1985-05-26	SR
1455	Hicks, Dalton	Lake Brantley HS (FL)	1B	L/R	6'05"	228	1990-04-02	HS	400K
Comments: If you're looking for a high school bat with plus power, this might be your guy. Hicks has plenty of it from the left side of the plate, both in the present and future tense. He makes good consistent contact and can drive the ball to all fields. He's limited to first base defensively, and while he's no gold glover, he should hold his own there. Also a right-handed pitcher, it's his size and power bat that should interest scouts the most. Enhanced Scouting Report
166	Hamilton, Jeremy	Wright St U	1B	L/L	6'00"	195	1986-11-13	JR	400K
513	Guinn, Dennis	Florida St U	1B	R/R	6'00"	205	1985-08-02	SR
1369	Griffin, Jonathan	Manatee JC	1B	R/R	6'06"	200	1989-04-29	J1
457	Goulder, Albert	Louisiana Tech U	1B	L/L	6'02"	205	1986-05-03	SR
276	Gonzales, Michael	Diablo Valley Col	1B	L/R	6'06"		1988-06-16	J2
843	Freiman, Nate	Duke U	1B	R/R	6'07"	240	1986-12-31	JR
867	Flanigan, Robert	North Georgia Col & St U	1B	L/R	6'04"	230	1987-08-14	JR
824	Flagg, Jeffrey	Mississippi St U	1B	R/R	6'05"	234	1985-11-07	JR
289	Farnsworth, Nicholas	Union HS (OK)	1B	L/L	6'02"	210	1989-06-17	HS
445	Espinosa, Alberto	Broward CC	1B	R/R	6'00"	220	1986-09-15	J2
364	Elgie, Zachary	Minot HS (ND)	1B	R/R	6'02"		1989-10-28	HS
23	Dykstra, Allan	Wake Forest U	1B	L/R	6'05"	240	1987-05-21	JR	400K
Comments: In another year, Dykstra might be a hot commodity as a college lefty power-hitting first baseman with advanced skills at the plate. But if there's one strength in this class, it's first basemen, and he's probably a half-step behind the elite players at the spot. An experiment at third didn't work, so Dykstra will probably have to wait -- albeit not too long -- until other first sackers go off the board. Enhanced Scouting Report
452	Disher, Phil	U South Carolina Columbia	1B	R/R	6'02"	215	1985-06-17	SR
650	Delaney, Mitchell	Western Texas Col	1B	L/R	6'02"	215	1989-04-14	J1
18	Davis, Isaac	Arizona St U	1B	L/L	6'04"	215	1987-03-22	JR	400K
Comments: On radars since high school, when he was a 19th-round pick of the Rays in 2005, the son of ex-big leaguer Ron Davis has a sweet left-handed swing that should generate more power in the future. He's not speedy, but he is a solid base runner and would be fine as a corner outfielder or first baseman at the next level. Enhanced Scouting Report
1104	Curry, Matthew	Howard Col	1B	L/R	6'02"	235	1988-07-27	J2
17	Cooper, David	UC Berkeley	1B	L/L	6'00"	175	1987-02-12	JR	400K
Comments: There are a number of college first basemen to choose from this Draft season and Cooper is making a case to be among the first to be chosen. He's got legitimate power to all fields and his advanced approach at the plate helps him avoid any slumps. Somewhat limited defensively, there's no doubt a team will take him fairly early just to get that bat into its system. Enhanced Scouting Report
1366	Clark, Jared	Cal St Fullerton	1B	R/R	6'04"	225	1986-05-09	SR	400K

865	Brett, Beau	Joel E Ferris HS (WA)	1B	L/L	6'03"	185	1989-07-14	HS	400K
