6'3"
210lbs. Kyle Dahlberg is a scrappy
baseball player. The kind of catcher
that a collision at home, blocking the plate, will make his evening. Behind the plate, Kyle calls a solid game
and is very adept at blocking balls in the dirt. There is some question about the higher mistakes, and his arm
is a little below average.
Offensively, Dahlberg possesses enough speed to maybe swipe 15-20
bases a season. He also makes good
contact with the ball, though not much in the way of the long ball. |

knee surgery, so there is some concern of the long-term impact it might
have. With a solid frame and a short
slide-step at the plate, Gregory has a solid, compact swing that provides gap
to gap power. Defensively, Dini has
an average arm and blocks the ball horizontally very well. He is projects himself as a very confident
player. |

raw player with a very high upside.
With a large, heavy body, Henry will never be mistaken as a base
stealing threat He also poses some
liability in the field with his lack of mobility. At the plate, however, Sanchez has a quick bat. Talent scouts believe that with 3-5 years
of minor league development, this kid could have a huge impact on a team. |

times, Curtis can be a little too aggressive at the plate. In the field, Ledbetter is a steady,

infielders better with him so solid around bag. FA / LF=50. |

from a junior college. Although not a
huge prospect, scouts like his defensive abilities and natural leadership
skills. Joe has Keith Hernandez like
reflexes at first, and excels at picking bad throws. At the plate, White is still several years
away from being major league ready.
Although, if he can develop offensively, he might become the best
all-around first baseman in the league. |

that he will pull the ball just as much as go the other way, or hit as many
groundballs as flyballs. Bell's quick
hands enable him to hit just about any pitch at any time. Not much of a fielder, Bell has very
minimal range to his left. His junior
year in high school, he was actually a first baseman. FA / 1B=38 |

this year is Justin Upton. Upton is a
lean, mean, baseball playing machine and a solid 5-tool player. About the only thing he won't do is crank
out 50 home runs, but don't think he doesn't have power. He has great plate coverage and can go to
all fields. In the field, he has an
incredible throwing arm and using his natural gifts to get to most balls on
his side of the infield. The only
negative there is he can get a little sloppy at times. |

position. With plenty of forearm
strength and a natural upright stance, Wetzel can get the bat through the
zone and drive the ball really well.
Almost a complete pull hitter, Wetzel has problems protecting the
outside corner of the plate and is not a good strike hitter. In the field, Garner has a cannon for an
arm and can deliver any ball he can get to accurately. FA / LF=46 3B=34 |

speed. Instead, he prefers to play left
ala Manny Ramirez, making it an adventure on every play. |

beyond most other fielder's range.
The rest of the package still needs a lot of development. Offensively, Cameron has little to no
power and makes inconsistent contact at best. With a lot of guidance, Cameron might develop into a legitimate
lead-off hitter, but then again, he might not. FA / CF=60 |

the draft behind Upton, Jay Bruce is a very raw talent that could take 4 to 5
years to reach the majors. That said,
when he gets there, it'll be one happy day for one lucky ballclub. Jay possesses a natural slight uppercut in
his swing, and combines that with a very aggressive stroke at the plate. He has very strong wrists and can adjust
quickly for mistakes. Defensively,
Jay Bruce has great instincts and gets great jumps on balls to the gap. He also has a very solid arm, racking up 6
outfield assists his senior year. |

out swing, he can effectively make contact with just about any type of
pitch. Combine that with his great

much more he will develop. |

6' 1"
190 lbs. Brian Pettway was a
four-year starter at the University of Mississippi. He has great baseball instincts and is always hustling. Not blessed with natural athletic ability,
Pettway makes the most of what he has.
Brian is a solid contact hitter who hit .327 his senior year, though
with only 6 HR's. Brian relies on his
instincts to get him good jumps when playing defense. |

similar to Johnny Damon's, Yema looks the part of a baseball player. In the field, he glides to the ball and
has a solid arm to get it back in quickly.
At the plate, Yahmed is a line drive hitter, spraying the ball all
around the park. Although not blessed
with great speed, Yema does run the bases extremely well. |

175 lbs. The SLB was able to secure
the release of Tosekawa one year earlier than expected. Toskawa is the most ready player in the
draft. He is at full development and
it will be very doubtful that he will improve further. Mahara throws a deadly screwball and
fastball, and complements those with a sinker and change-up. Combine those four pitches with pinpoint
control and the only question left is durability. |

might be ready now to be some teams 5th starter, and in a couple of years, he
could be some teams ace. Michael has
a fastball that is explosive. He can
bore it in on right handers or cut it in on lefties. It's such a live pitch that Pedro would be
jealous. Pelfrey also has a circle
change and a curve, but both need a lot of work. |

190 lbs. Ryan Tucker is a workout
freak. He is in the gym three to four
hours before every practice.
Freakishly strong, he has already hit 92 on the radar gun. A three pitch pitcher, Ryan relies almost
exclusively on his fastball. Scouts
feel that he is two or three years away from the big leagues with his control
issues and the need for a big league off speed pitch. |

Palm is kind of an anomoly, he doesn't throw hard. He tops out at about 90 mph on a plus fastball. Josh is a pitcher that keep the ball down

strikezone ala Greg Maddux. An
excellent fielder, Josh is very nimble for 220 lbs. His biggest weakness may be that he gets hammered by lefties. |

to have something different. With
above average arm strength and average control, it could be as early as 3 or
4 seasons before Pedro makes it to the majors. |

The movement Ricardo is able to induce on his three hard pitch

one of those few pitchers who will be able to get a batter out inside the
strike zone. Oh yea, and he has a
great pick-off move as well. |

now, Michael Kirkman has the potential to develop into a left-handed power
pitcher. He has great form, broad
shoulders, and a solid lower half.
His fastball has been clocked at 88mph. Michael adds that to a slider, a curveball, and a developing
split-finger. Obviously a very
long-term project, Kikman wants the big bucks now and is willing to wait 5 or
6 years to make it big. |

pitcher. He uses his curve in
combination with a fastball and circle change to pick at the corners. Although a larger pitcher, Matt's fastball
really is below average and usually tops out at about 86-87 mph. A very intelligent pitcher, Goyen knows
how to use his pitches in combination and not rely on the strikeout to be
effective. The only question is
whether his ability will hold up at a major league level. |

fastball and a slider, he will attack batters. Craig's arm motion, a sling shot with a slight elbow drop,
really makes it hard for batters to pick up the pitch. Right-handers, in particularl, are often
surprised by the speed, a la Mariano Rivera.
Scouts are really impressed with the way he throws strikes. |

control issues, Jason Ray would be one of the top prospects in this year's
draft. Jason "The Hammer"
Ray is Goose Gossage incarnate. He
pitches pissed, and just blows you away with 95-97 mph fastballs. Jason's two
favorite locations are up and in and up and inner ear. When he can control it, his curve drops
straight off the table. With a
closer's mentality, he'll keep the fans around for those late innings. |

his cat-like quickness to first base, virtually shutting down a running game. |

Armed with a nasty slider, a fastball, and a 11-5 curve, Perez could

whips his arm through. This type of
motion is cause for injury concern down the road. |

his first two seasons in college, but really blossomed his junior and senior
years with a shift to the bullpen.
Scouts project him as middle relief/set-up guy with good stamina. His curveball is a little soft, but has a
good chance of eventually being his out pitch. |

instead of pitches, althoug hhe does throw quite hard. |

6' 3"
215 lbs. Brandon Durden has the
make-up of a solid set-up man. He
delivers the pitch with a low 3/4 slot arm angle, making it very difficult
for lefties to pickup the pitch until very late. Brandon uses his fastball to get a head early and then uses his
slider to grab the K. He has also
been working on a late breaking, 12-6 curve and a change-up. Dudren could need a couple seasons to
mature before he makes it to the big league. |

225 lbs. Michael Zagurski is an
athletic middle reliever. He has
above average stamina for a reliever, and a great pick-off move to first. Michael works exclusively from the stretch
with a sidearm motion. He overpowers
lefties, but has had historic problems with righties. The uses a fastball, slider, change-up
combination, with the change-up being his out pitch. |

6' 3"
190 lbs. Floyd Norrick is a tall,
lanky lefty from Illinois. He lives
on the corners, and relies on his control to get the outs. With very poor arm strength and solid
control, it will be a toss-up whether or not he is able to make it the major
league level. |
