DRAFT: - Jackie Bradley, Kolbrin Vitek, Gerrit Cole, Austin Nola... and Nick Ramirez

Jackie Bradley:


6-12-10 from: - link  - Outfield - Best Player: Jackie Bradley Jr., CF, South Carolina, .367/.468/.585. Those of you that follow Aaron Fitt on the college beat at Baseball America know his affinity for Bradley Jr., who is the best combination of tools and performance in this draft class. Bradley Jr. is a very smooth baseball player that has never been out of sorts in the SEC, and has just started to tap into his power potential. The Gamecocks were simply not the same when he was out of the lineup with a broken hand earlier this season.

Kolbrin Vitek:

6-12 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft  - Today, Alex Speier of Boston radio station WEEI announced that 2B Kolbrin Vitek has agreed on a contract, pending a physical. Per Speier, Vitek will receive a bonus of about $1.3 million, the so-callled "slot" money for the 20th pick. The 6-3, 195-pound Vitek hit .368 with 17 home runs and 68 RBIs this season for the Cardinals. He also stole 15 bases and was one of the team's starting pitchers.

Gerrit Cole:

6-13 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702  - RHP, Gerrit Cole, UCLA, 6'4 215, saw as an OF in 2008 during TOS, then saw a start and he was up to 94 that day with raw mechanics and is talked about being in top 5 for 2011.

Austin Nola:

6-13 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702  - SS, Austin Nola, 6'1 185, LSU, R/R, 70 arm, 55 range, solid glove, also ave runner and will hit 260 plus and occasional enough power to drive in runs, I like him more than CS-Fullerton MIF, Colon.

Nick Ramirez:

6-13 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702  - 1b, Nick Ramirez, CS-Fullerton, 6'2 220, lefty pop, not a good runner, but not embarassing, throws well and plays the bag like he knows what he's doing. Pena anyone? Also can close games.
