8-27 from: - link - SS-2B Francisco Lindor Monteverde HS, Clermont FL 5'10 170 S/R - quickness afoot and with his bat, puts the bat on the ball, occ lift with foul line power to hit 8-10 type HR in in ML, solid ML arm with carry and quick release ala Ozzie Smith, runs 4.2 from left but better between the bases to steal 20-30 plus bases in ML. Don't let him get away if you need defensive with offensive potential to shine!!
Jason Esposito:
8-27 from: - link - 3B-SS Jason Esposito Vanderbilt 6'1 195 R/R - gamer with tools, comps to Ryan Zimmerman, Jason has improved his quickness and first step moves to field either side of his glove since HS in Connecticut (Amity HS) and runs better out of the box, 4.3 from right side which is solid ave, runs alot better between bases and enough quickness to steal 15-20 bases in ML. Throwing arm is solid and has the offensive potential to hit 20-25 HR drive in 80 plus runs and hit close to 300 with good eye hand coordination and pitch discipline, will be over aggressive at times, but that is natural for most hitters. Will be in the bigs quicker than Tony Graffanino was years back.
Drew Stiner:
link - C - Page HS, Sand Springs, Okla. Stiner is one of the top catch-and-throw guys behind the plate in this year's class. He is a sure-handed receiver with a plus arm. At the plate, he has a line drive stroke with strength in his swing that leads to some pull-side power. Stiner is committed to Oklahoma State.
8-16-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/8/16/1625615/2010-under-armour-all-american#storyjump - Drew Stiner is an athletic catcher from Oklahoma and is one of the top defensive catchers in the high school ranks. I had three pop times from Stiner, all sub-2.0 at 1.87, 1.89 and 1.93. Stiner also impressed with receiving and handling advanced stuff and got bonus points for his hustle and leadership.
Brandon Bonilla:
8-31-10 from: - link - Brandon Bonilla - LHP, 6'3" 185, The Pendleton School (FL) - Bonilla (yes, the son of former slugger Bobby Bonilla) threw three times and with each outing I gained more appreciation for him. Bonilla is not a flame thrower but has surprising velocity, particularly with he extreme overhand slot. He was 87-91 mph and creates outstanding angle with the fastball, which makes him hard to square up and to lift. His best pitch was a 79-83 mph slider (he might call it a cutter) that has good bite and great tilt. Left on left he was filthy.
Darren Whatley:
9-3-10 from: - link - 52. Darren Whatley - RHP, 6'3" 220, Bibb County HS (AL) - Big wide frame, strong kid, fastball 88-92 mph with some sink, occasional heavy action, fair command, 68-73 mph curveball has chance to be average.
So basically, Bobby Bonilla and his son are on the Mets' payroll...so to say? How sad is that? They must be laughing all the way to the bank. Fleecing the Wilpons; what a concept.
