3. Christian Yelich – Westlake HS (CA) – 6-3, 190, L/L - also plays OF… runs 60-yd in 6.8… arm strength questionable… projects out at 1B… one of the best pure hitters in draft…

8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/: solid power, lefty stroke, make solid contact and adjusted well enough seeing several pitchers with different deliveries, could be a solid contributor at the ML level in 4-5 years

8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/: power stroke, upper cut, 250-270 type hitter, also OF, not a great runner, however gets it done. Glove is ok with adequate range. Power numbers are intriguing.

9. Mike Giller – (new) – Illinois – DH/1B – 6-3, 220, senior, L/R… played the 2009 summer for the Waterloo Bucks…

7-24 – Fr. http://www.rivals.yahoo.com/: The skinny: Giller didn’t have much of a spring for the Fighting Illini, but is making the best of his summer with the Bucks. Giller finished this past season hitting just .231 in only 13 at bats. With the Bucks, though, the veteran is a force at the plate. Giller is hitting .363 with 11 doubles, two homers and 34 RBIs. He also has walked and struck out 17 times each. Giller appears to be readying himself for a strong senior campaign for the Illini.

10. Kevin Koziol – (new) – Brother Rice HS (IL) - 6-2, 195 -

7-29: From: http://www.baseballfactory.com/: - Koziol has a big, strong frame that produces some raw power from the right side of the plate. He has good hands in the field to go along with a solid throwing arm and he runs a 7.2-second 60-yard dash.

11. Marcus Littlewood – (new) – Pineview HS (UT) – 6-2, 185 -

8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/: played wherever the coaches wanted, displayed solid contact from both sides of the plate, solid arm strength, running speed is adequate and has room to fill out, will be someone to follow through college for sure.

12. Kris Bryant – (new) – Bonanza HS (NV) – 6-5, 205, R/R…

8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/: power stroke, however didn't display contact ability or ability to adjust to pitching, 5 k's in 9 abs, seemed to press at the plate. Showed plus pwr in BP, wish I had seen it in the games however. Solid arm strength, best spot at 1b in pro ball, another one who should go to college and see where he develops in the next 3-4 years.

13. Jeff Jackson – (new) – Wauconda HS (IL) – 6-3, 195 -

8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/: mostly DH'd during tourney, made solid contact, better power showed in BP, needs a position, 1b seems to be the best bet for him. Good face too! Will contribute solidly in college, so a solid watchful player next 3-4 years.

14. Ryan Ford – (new) – Plano West HS (TX) -

8-6: From http://www.baseballamerica.com/: - Ford is a powerful hitter, with natural lift and pull-side power. Ford drops his bat head on the ball quickly and the ball explodes off his bat. He is smooth at first base and has potential above-average ability there.
