Travis Chavez:
6-30-11: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=268 - Travis Chavez, INF, 2013, Tucson, AZ - 520 Elite (West Team) - The wiry 5'11/155 pound Chavez had an outstanding tournament at the 2011 West Coast Finals finishing in the top 10 in hitting, top 15 in 60 yard time and chipped in 4 innings of 2 hit baseball on the mound. What Chavez lacks in arm strength he makes up with on the offensive end with a knack for making things happen at the plate.
Josh Elander:
7-9-11: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6002 - Josh Elander, C/OF, TCU - A sturdy athlete with a strong, compact frame, Elander has been a promising prospect before he stepped onto Texas Christian's campus as part of the same class that included Matt Purke. He was the Horned Frogs' second leading hitter each of the past two springs, and has more power potential than his seven career collegiate home runs indicate.
Victor Roache:
7-14-11: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/summer-scene/summer-stock/2011/2612099.html - The 2011 college baseball season will be remembered as one dominated by pitching, in large part because of the enormous effect the new metal bats had on offensive numbers nationwide. But don't tell that to Georgia Southern outfielder Victor Roache. In a year when home runs per game dropped from 0.92 to 0.54, Roache defied statistics. The rising junior led Division I with 30 home runs—22 more than he hit in 2010 with the old, more potent bats. It was the nation's biggest power jump.
Rob Amaro:

He was a 40th-round pick of the Phillies back in 2009, mostly because of his relation to his uncle, Ruben Amaro, the Phillies GM. He could really benefit from seeing some time behind the plate.
