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

145	Lamb, John	Laguna Hills HS (CA)	LHP	L/L	6'03"	185	1990-07-10	HS	400K
Comments: As recently as last summer, Lamb was a two-way player who was drawing some interest as a John Mabry-type hitter. It appears that he's now more focused on pitching and it's paying off. If he continues to improve his breaking ball and his command, the lefty should garner plenty of attention leading up to the Draft. Enhanced Scouting Report
36	Montgomery, Michael	Hart HS (CA)	LHP	L/L	6'05"	180	1989-07-01	HS	400K
Comments: Every spring, there seem to be high school lefties who gain some "helium" and move up Draft charts. Montgomery is one of them this season, thanks to a spike in velocity that has the southpaw getting up to 93 mph. Combine that with decent command and a projectable frame and he's becoming more intriguing to teams willing to work with him on developing his secondary offerings. Enhanced Scouting Report
475	Saito, Derrick	Cal Poly San Luis Obispo	LHP	L/L	5'09"	155	1987-12-26	JR	400K
Comments: A walk-on who attended Cal Poly for the engineering program, Saito has opened a lot of eyes and left a lot of scouts scratching their heads. To say he's undersized is an understatement, but he's got a huge arm and the ability to throw four pitches for strikes. Someone will have to take a risk to take him, but they could have a top-notch lefty specialist if they do. Enhanced Scouting Report
