7-13-10: - MaxPreps Junior All-American Baseball Team - Tim Barry, Oak Forest (Oak Forest, Ill.), Outfield - One of the more prolific home run hitters in the country, Barry heads into his senior year with 41 career home runs, including 17 during his junior season. He drove in 43 runs this year to give him 170 in his career. An all-state choice for the third time by the Chicago Tribune, Barry batted .578 and scored 46 runs.
7-25 from: - link - I like his bat quite a bit, but he’s just outside of my top 50, as he’s unlikely to be able to be even average defensively behind the plate as a pro. He has an above-average hit tool and raw power, and his arm is in the solid-average/above-average range, but he’s a below-average receiver with bad footwork, and he’s just plain big behind the plate. He partially tore his PCL on the Cape before he was supposed to be part of Team USA, so that doesn’t help things, as there’s only a limited amount of scouting data on him against quality pitchers with a wood bat.
7-25-10 from: - http://www.macksmets.blogspot.com/ : - Bobby Crocker-Cal Poly (OF)- Crocker could potentially be a five (5) tool player. He is a physical specimen at 6'3" and 220lbs from Aptos, CA whose LL team went to the World Series in Williamsport, PA. Bobby's strength's are his size, strength and speed. When looking at a college player I look for consistency and growth. His stats from his freshman year in 2009 and 2010 show growth and no holes, i.e. no fluke stats which are up one year and down drastically the next. He batted .323/.351 through his freshman/sophomore campaigns, 24/49 rbi, 10/18 SB's with an 85% success rate both seasons. The downside is he still needs to learn to play a better OF taking marginal routes and committing 9 errors in RF. Another spot for improvement is his BB/K ratio striking out twice as many times as he walks and at a 20% rate. Still scouts are drooling over this prospect for the aforementioned reasons and I expect him to go in the top 3 rounds, perhaps higher.
7-26 from: - link - John Simms (The Woodlands, Tex.) struck out 11 in six shutout innings to lead the USA Baseball 18U National Team over Italy 10-0 Sunday in USA's second game of the 2010 IBAF "AAA" (18U) World Junior Championships. USA scored 10 runs on eight hits to defeat Italy in seven innings due to the 10-run rule, improving the U.S. to 2-0 in pool play. Simms (3-0) was dynamic in six shutout frames, posting his second double-digit strikeout game in four outings this summer. The right-hander worked efficiently allowing just two hits and issuing just one walk. Dillon Maples (West End, N.C.) tossed one scoreless inning to seal the victory.
7-26 from: - link - Here are some names of draft eligibles for 2011 who have not been mentioned much and are definitely on the radar for 2011 MLB scouting depts. - LHP - Tyler Wells, Maxwell HS, Cal, 6'2 190, one of top QB's in Cal HS ranks as well, will bump low 90's, competes, will have to make choice of sports, many think football for now, but we'll see.
