5-29 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - Toledo's Matt Suschak also found a rocky start on Thursday. Like Blair, Sushcak found himself in multiple jams but wriggled free each time, until finally settling down in the third inning. Suschak clamped down on Miami (Ohio), retiring 10 consecutive batters until allowing a single in the seventh. The bullpen did the rest en route to a 7-1 Rockets win.

Uses above average speed to keep the defense on its' toes. Should stick in CF. Improving plate discipline. Will need to adjust to quality pitching and wood bats better.
5-27 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - 2010 MLB Draft: Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 17. Tennessee JR 3B Matt Duffy - Duffy was a deep sleeper top five rounds candidate of mine heading into the season, so you know his underwhelming, but still solid, junior season won’t downgrade his stock too much for me. The Vermont transfer has all of the defensive tools to play a decent shortstop professionally, but profiles better as a potential plus defender at the hot corner. For Duffy, a Jack Hannahan (with more raw power) or Andy LaRoche (with less raw power) type of career is possible.
5-28 from: - http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b4kdh - Norcross HS (Ga.): The son of the former big leaguer of the same name, DeShields has an intriguing combination of bloodlines and outstanding tools in his own right. He's got a great bat and his plus speed is a game-changer. He should be a good center fielder in the future, though he could probably handle second base -- his father's position -- if needed. DeShields has come on strong and has been mentioned in connection with certain teams that have multiple picks in the first round.
