Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
175	Llanos, Alex	Puerto Rico BB Academy HS	SS	R/R	6'01"	160	1990-09-21	HS	400K
1426	Buchanan, Terrence	Mt Carmel HS (CA)	SS	R/R	6'01"	175	1990-02-12	HS

1135	Thompson, James	Columbus St U	RHP	R/R	6'03"	195	1987-08-15	SR
625	Theis, Jacob	Mountlake Terrace HS (WA)	RHP	R/R	6'06"	220	1990-04-08	HS	400K
985	Swegman, Eric	Young Harris Col	RHP	R/R	6'06"	215	1988-08-03	J1
80	Sample, Tyler	J K Mullen Prep School (CO)	RHP	R/R	6'07"		1989-06-27	HS	400K
Comments: If you're looking for a big right-hander with power stuff, Sample might be your guy. He's got a fastball that cranks up to 95 mph and a hammer curve. He doesn't use the change much, but it should be a pitch for him in the future. He's never going to be an above-average command guy, but he should throw enough strikes to be successful. He might be a bit of a project, but at 6-foot-7 with that kind of stuff, someone will be willing to try and see it through. Enhanced Scouting Report

1075	Purdy, Nicholas	St Marys SS	RHP	R/R	6'05"	215	1989-10-02	HS	400K

775	Morgan, Ryan	Rockhurst Col	RHP	R/R	6'01"	190	1987-01-29	SO
1165	Modglin, Ryan	Scott City School (MO)	RHP	L/R	6'02"	210	1990-04-27	HS
115	Melville, Timothy	Wentzville Holt HS (MO)	RHP	R/R	6'05"	210	1989-10-09	HS	400K
Comments: One of the top high school arms in the Draft class, Melville has a big projectable frame which has plenty of room for growth. Already possessing above-average arm strength, he could add even more velocity in the future. He shows glimpses of a good knuckle-curve, but will have to find more consistency with it. Same goes for his changeup, which is clearly his third pitch. He draws some comparisons to Yankee Phil Hughes when he was in high school and should find himself gone in the first round just as Hughes did. 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
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
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
