Donn Roach, throwing to Harper, had a solid outing in the National Junior College World Series Semi-Final. Roach went eight innings giving up two earned runs on ten hits while striking out 11. While Roach may go as high as the compensatory round, Churchill feels that day two is a better bet

He is an exceptional athlete who performed well during the Cape League and excelled on the biggest stage during the CWS (I love this catch). The knock is he lacks advanced mechanics, andhas a below average-arm. Nevertheless, Landry seems like a well-known player with upside who will slip under the radar in the draft.
5-31 from: - link - Deck McGuire: McGuire does not have a high ceiling, and will likely top out as a #3 starter, but he’s arguably the safest pick, and the quickest to the majors. McGuire has done nothing but win during his three years at Georgia Tech, amassing a 27-6 record. He will give up hits, but he will also record a healthy amount of K’s. He throws a slider, a 90-93 MPH fastball, and a change, with strong command of all three. My judgment is that he could have a long career as a great 4, good 3. His upside is not what you look for as a 7th overall pick, but he’s the safest pick, and could make the team in 2012.
5-28 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 10. Oregon State JR 3B Stefen Romero - Romero is arguably the best present defender on the top ten list. He makes all the plays on balls hit at him, and has proven more than capable of ranging to both his left and right when needed. What really makes his draft stock pop in comparison to some other names on the list is his performance with wood last summer on the Cape. The raw numbers don’t jump right out at you, but all of the reports from the summer were positive. Romero kept the momentum going this spring by displaying a steady dose of good defense, above-average power, and decent athleticism. A few area scouts that have seen him play way more than I have seem to like him a lot more than I do, so take his placement on the list as a rare example of me trusting people smarter than myself. Rare not because I’m trusting them, but because there are people out there actually smarter than I am. Hard to believe, I know. Romero’s upside is a good four-corners bench bat for me, something true of the majority of the players on this list no matter how rosy a picture I try to paint of their ultimate super duper best case scenario big league ceilings.
5-31 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - Texas closer Chance Ruffin, son of former big-leaguer Bruce Ruffin, has been nearly unhittable. Though Texas fell short in the Big 12 Championship, it wasn't because of Ruffin, who threw 2.2 scoreless innings. On the year, the junior is 6-1 with an 0.77 ERA with 89 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched. He's limited opposing hitters to a .176 clip.
