5-31 from: -http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - The Ducks will throw lefty Tyler Anderson, who has been their Friday night guy all season and should be a late-first rounder in the 2011 draft. Anderson is a lanky 6-4, 215 pounds with plenty of projection. The Las Vegas native is the eptiome of the "crafty" lefty, sitting mostly in the high 80s to low 90s with a fastball that has good arm side run. His slider looks like it's coming from first base.
5-31 from: - http://www.deepleagues.com/?p=1733 - Coming from high school, Morris was one of the highest-drafted players to not turn professional in the 2007 draft. He is a good all-around player, but he doesn’t possess the elite tools of former collegiate first baseman Justin Smoak, Yonder Alonso, etc. Nevertheless, what Morris lacks in upside he makes up for as being a fairly well-developed player who should contribute in the major leagues.
5-31 from: - link+Merized+Online%29&utm_content=Twitter - Karsten Whitson: Whitson is the next best High School righty. He throws a 93-96 MPH fastball, and a low-80’s slider and change. He will need time to work on his pitches and fill out his frame. Has average command of his pitches. His mechanics have drawn mixed reviews from scouts, with some believing that his delivery needs more work with the follow-through. Could develop anywhere between 2-4, though I think he’ll be a strong 3. He’s only 18, and he’ll spend at least a few years in the minors, so an ETA could be anywhere between 2013 or 2015.
5-28 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 9. Connecticut JR 3B Mike Olt - I’ve toyed with the idea of standardizing these quick scouting capsules, but always wind up just doing the rambling paragraph or two synopses you see up and down the page. Seems like all of those standardized reports have some sort of strengths/weaknesses attached somewhere, so let’s try it out with a personal favorite, Mike Olt: Strengths: three above-average or better tools (65 raw power, 55 speed, and 65 arm), plus athleticism, and a big league ready frame Weaknesses: present tool most need in work is his bat, due in large part to a largely unrefined approach and inconsistent swing mechanics So, will Olt make enough consistent hard contact to put his other tools to use professionally? I think any one of the guys on one of the deepest top ten college position lists I can remember in the long, storied history of this site has the upside of an every day player if the circumstances allow it. That comes out as a cop-out, but it’s true; this is a really, really deep year for college third basemen.
5-31 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - UConn will counter with their powerful third baseman, Mike Olt. Olt went 1-for-2 with a homer and three walks in a 6-5 loss to Rutgers in the Big East tournament. At 6-2, 210-pounds, Olt is big strong guy, who is a much better defender than his size and girth might lead one to believe. But make no mistake, it is his power and 21 homers and 68 RBI that gets the most attention. He still has a propensity to swing and miss (52 strikeouts) and there were more o-fers than you'd like to see, but Olt's power is unmistakable.
Josh Osich:
6-1 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - 6. Oregon State JR LHP Josh Osich - missed 2010 season after having Tommy John surgery; 93-96 FB, peak 98; plus CB; CU with plus potential; gambling on him past round 5 seems like it’s worth a shot, but that’s without any inside information on whether he’d even consider signing or how his rehab is going
