6-25 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/ - The Tournament of Stars - a showcase event for USA Baseball held every June in North Carolina - is designed to be a forum to compile an 18-and-under team to represent the United States in the IBAF 18U World Championships this July. Keith Law from espn.com recently filed two reports from the event. Here are some highlights from Keith's reports. - •Francisco Lindor is being called "one of the best defensive shortstops in the country."
6-25 from: - link - 1B Ricky Oropesa carried the offense for the Pac-10 Cellar Dwellars, the USC Trojans, leading in Batting Average, Homeruns, RBI, Doubles, OBP, SLG, Walks, and Steals. Oropesa is going to be able to focus on different parts of his game now that he isn’t carrying an inept offense like the one he leads at Dedeaux Field, as he is playing in the Cape Cod League for the Chatham Anglers. He will have a chance to be a first round pick next season if he stays healthy, and he is already off to a great start with the wood bat, hitting .289 with 2 Home Runs.
6-22-10 from: - link - Shortstop Nolan Fontana is a likely first round pick in 2012, making him one of the last before the world ends. Fontana has already been invited to play for Team USA, one of only four freshman granted that honor. A very smooth defender with solid range and a strong arm, he also has an excellent eye at the plate -- walked nearly twice as often (49) as he struck out (28).
6-21-10 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - 2011 MLB Draft Players to Know – Florida State - SO OF James Ramsey (.291/.443/.539; 48/41 BB/K; 10/11 SB; 206 AB) - Ramsey is generally seen as one of the better 2011 college outfield prospects, but at this point in his development he’s little more than an above-average bat to me. His arm is currently average at best and his range in the outfield is below-average. In addition, he’s a decent runner who picks his spots on the bases well. College players limited to leftfield need to be able to hit a ton to make it in pro ball.
