Not afraid to put ball in play and use his speed to his advantage. Motors down the line. Solid defender. Above-average runner.”
5-16 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2142 - • Spanish Fork (Utah) High's Adam Duke was electric earlier in the year, sitting 91-94 mph with a power curveball, but scouts said he was down to 87-89 lately and opinions varied on the reasoning. Some scouts believe he was coasting late in the year, others thought he might be hiding a shoulder injury or perhaps going through a dead arm period. Yesterday, Duke was back up to 90-92 and threw a one-hit shutout against Box Elder High in the opening round of Utah's 5-A state tournament. Duke is committed to Oregon State and his signability and the status of his arm will determine where he goes, but he's a third to fifth-round talent.
5-17 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/05/17/big-south-players-of-the-week-11 - Coastal Carolina hurler Anthony Meo (Cranston, R.I.) has been named The Crons Brand Pitcher of the Week for games played May 10-16, it was announced today by the League office. Meo earned his Big South-leading 11th win of the season in Coastal Carolina’s 5-2 victory at Liberty last Friday night to open a key Conference series featuring the League’s top two squads. Meo went 7.1 innings and allowed just five hits and two runs (both in the eighth inning) to snap the Flames’ 15-game Conference win streak. He struck out four, walked just one batter and induced 14 fly ball outs. He permitted just one runner to reach second base in his first seven innings, which included a 25-minute lightning delay while pitching in the third inning.

He understands that when compared to other elite college baseball players, Cunningham knows he will have to outwork them. It hasn't stopped the preseason All-American from putting up big numbers is 2010. Through today, Cunningham was hitting .355 with eight homers and 30 RBI, going 18-of-20 in stolen bases

There are still too many 50s and 55s on his scouting report (speed, arm, range, power) to keep me from rushing out and spending a pick in the top half of the first round on him, but a quick scan of big league rosters gives some real perspective about how valuable a steady fielding shortstop with power to the gaps and excellent plate discipline can be. I liken Colon’s big league upside to Stephen Drew with more patience and less home run power. As Erik Manning’s recent work hammers home, a first round prospect capable of putting up 3.0 WAR in a season is a rare and beautiful thing.
