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. – First Base - Aaron Westlake, Vanderbilt, 6'3 240, L/R, power plus and hits with authority when he doesn't overswing, can play other positions and has pure arm strength.
7-30-10 from: - link - • Marcus Stroman, RHP, Duke -- Heading into just his sophomore season, Stroman was clearly one of the standout arms at Wednesday's event. The 5-foot-9 righty has the look and arsenal of a future closer, and he showed off his dominance against college baseball's best. Stroman sat 93-97 mph with his fastball, and mixed a sharp, plus slider at 80-82.
8-3 from: - link - More of a defensive specialist at this point. Average bat, fringe-average power. Great defensive tools including plus arm and plus footwork. Good receiver, too. Easily had the best pop time at PG National. He’s the type of player that might slide if his bat doesn’t develop over the next 10 months.
