6-1 from: - link - Gausman struggled after a good start, then had some more success, then ended the season down. Consistency was his bugaboo, as well as the seven home runs he allowed. On May 21, Gausman suffered probably his worst loss of the season, a 10-9 loss to Regis High School. Gausman gave up nine earned runs on eight hits and five walks, including two homers, over six innings. Gausman likely will still be considered a first-round or sandwich round pick. But his pedestrian 5-3 record and 4.41 ERA might have some teams thinking twice. He did strike out 76 batters and walk just 17 in 52 2/3 innings, so command was not the problem. If a major league team gets him into its system and can refine his pitches and add more movement and sink, Gausman could be deadly. His fastball already sits in the low- to mid-90s with ease. He is committed to LSU, but chances are that, despite his struggles in 2010, Gausman will never set foot in Baton Rouge.

Allie throws a good two-seam fastball with lateral movement, a 98 MPH four-seamer, a high-80’s slider and a mid-80’s change. It’s worth mentioning that he can play the field, and has good power as a corner infielder. His future is as a pitcher, though. Allie will be drafted as a starter, he’ll be treated as a starter, he’ll make it as a reliever, and he’ll succeed as a closer. My judgment is that he is better set to be a closer than a starter due to the power of his pitches, and his inability to pitch deep into games. Do you want a hard throwing, 5 inning starter, or a hard-throwing closer? BTW: type “Stetson Allie” into Google, and look at what comes up first on the drop-down menu.
5-28 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 8. San Diego JR 3B Victor Sanchez - My support of Victor Sanchez goes back to his prep days, so it’s hard for me to be completely objective when trying to evaluate his current draft stock. The memory of the potential plus defender with equally exciting power potential and a mature beyond his years approach to every single at bat may be just that, a memory. Sanchez’s slow recovery from labrum surgery has knocked his prospect stock way down, but I’m enthused by the perhaps misguided hope that his depressed draft standing will give him the chip on his shoulder (not literally) needed to prove all the teams that passed on him wrong. Talent doesn’t disappear, but it can get lost in the fog of injuries. Teams willing to take the chance that Sanchez will someday recovery 100% from his shoulder injury are betting that the fog will soon lift.
5-31 from: - http://www.deepleagues.com/?p=1733 - Parker has excellent tools for a player taken outside the first round, but at this point, his collegiate performance has not been impressive. He struggled in the Cape League, and despite this season’s numbers being slightly improved, he has not had the outstanding season needed to take him into the first round. Reports show Parker is a multi-tool talent and he is a possible bargain in the supplemental round depending upon bonus demands.
