DRAFT: - Mickey Wiswall, Dan Klein, Stefan Sabol, Michael Choice... and Ryne Stanek

Mickey Wiswall:


4-18 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/category/2010-draft  - Mickey Wiswall is a left-handed power bat, pure and simple. He’s helping himself in 2010 at Boston College leading up to the draft. In this Cape BP look, Wiswall showed some signs about why his best is likely yet to come. He gave raw power, but not the frequency. Over time, Wiswall’s hands and strength should allow him to weed out the longer approach to the ball. Once he more consistently gets shorter to the ball, he should begin seeing more frequent wood power production. He’s going to be an AL first base-DH type all the way and being left-handed with power means he’s going to be able to buy himself time to develop in the next few years.

Dan Klein:

4-17 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/2010-mlb-draft-preview-moving-up-moving-down  - Dan Klein, UCLA, RHP: Klein was not on anyone's radar going into the 2010 season after red-shirting his sophomore year and throwing only 17 innings his freshman year, but the draft eligible sophomore has been splendid as UCLA's closer and is gaining plenty of attention. With a low-90s closer, he's getting comparisons to (Nationals #10 pick in 2010) Drew Storen as a quick-to-the-majors closer.

Stefan Sabol:

4-17 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/2010-draft-misfits-wimmers-sabol-choice/#more  - Stefan Sabol, Aliso Niquel High School, C: His hitting statistics are off the charts already: 400/500/950 with eight homers and just eight strikeouts vs. eleven walks. Despite the stats, scouts are not believing his performance. "I like him, but I think the hype was a little much," said one area scout. "There's a lot to like, but the performance is a bit inflated -- not the best league down here."

Michael Choice:

4-17 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/2010-draft-misfits-wimmers-sabol-choice/#more  - Michael Choice, University of Texas-Arlington, OF: Choice has been almost as effective as Sabol, going 398/563/788 with 12 home runs and just 29 strikeouts against 44 walks. Also similar to Sabol, there are questions about the competition that he's putting these numbers up against.









Ryne Stanek:

4-17 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/2010-mlb-draft-preview-moving-up-moving-down  - Ryne Stanek, Blue Valley HS, RHP: Reports that Stanek was hitting 95-96 on his fastball may have been premature, but he's been recorded throwing 90-94 consistently and frequently. Likely a first day pick, his draft stock could still rise with a good portion of the season remaining
