4-26 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - Morgado's inconsistency continues, as he was touched up by Vanderbilt in 10-1 loss on Friday. Morgado dueled it out with a possible high pick in 2011, right-hander Sonny Gray. A former third-round pick of the White Sox in 2009, Morgado lasted just four and two-thirds innings, giving up nine earned runs, 10 hits and a walk. What was perhaps most disturbing was that Morgado hit three men. His command was poor, suggesting he tried to muscle it in there as he got in trouble.
4-26 from: http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/26/southland-baseball-players-of-the-week-10/#more-25681 - Nicholls outfielder Keith Kulbeth has been named the Southland Conference Hitter of the Week. Kulbeth led the Colonels to a 3-1 week, including a series win over Sam Houston State, giving Nicholls its first consecutive conference series wins since 2001. A native of Opelousas, La., Kulbeth hit .353 on the week with a .765 slugging percentage and had 13 total bases. He had three extra base hits (1 2B, 2 HR) and went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 6-3 win over New Orleans Wednesday. Kulbeth was 1-for-5 with a run scored on Friday and drove in the game-winning runs with a three-run shot in the top of the ninth in a 15-12 win over the Bearkats Saturday. Kulbeth drove in five runs against Sam Houston that day and was 1-for-2 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Overall Kulbeth had eight RBI and scored six times.

He recently struck out eleven while giving up just one hit in a complete game shutout. So far Covey has yielded just one earned run over 45.1 IP while striking out 90 against eleven walks.
4-28 from: - http://projectprospect.com/article/2010/04/28/lincolns-2010-draft-board - Several astute members of our forums questioned my leaving Dylan Covey off my first board. They were right. I overlooked Covey. The Marantha High School (CA) righthander has a well-above-average fastball with plus potential, running into the mid-90s in short stints with good movement. Covey throws a power curveball in the low-80s that may be the best in the entire draft. He is exceptionally smooth mechanically and looks the part of a future workhorse. Covey may be a slightly better version of Matt Hobgood, who went fifth overall to the Orioles last year, and could certainly figure in the top 10 this June.
4-27 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/category/2010-draft - Scott Frazier is the classic right-handed build-it-yourself potential major league right-hander. In this recent look, he was coming off an outing in which he threw the ball very well. He came back on short rest and pitched with a sore groin in the rain, so this wasn’t Frazier at his best and is a look that has to be taken with a grain of salt. You do have to give the guy credit for strapping it on and trying to make it work.
4-28 from: - http://projectprospect.com/article/2010/04/28/lincolns-2010-draft-board - The college player making the strongest debut is Virginia Tech right hander Jesse Hahn. Hahn created a lot of buzz after blowing up radar guns in the Cape Cod League, reportedly hitting 99 MPH. This spring, Hahn’s fastball has sat 91-94 MPH with big-time sink and arm-side run. Hahn has shown the ability to add and subtract from his curveball, at times throwing two completely different breakers. When his curveball comes in at 78-80 MPH it has terrific late break and is a true swing-and-miss offering. Hahn will also throw a slow curve, especially early in the count for strikes, which is just average. While his changeup doesn’t get used very often, Hahn maintains his arm speed well and the pitch shows solid upside.
