Deven Marraro:


7-21-11: - http://www.mockdraftmania.com/  - 7. Los Angeles Dodgers Deven Marraro SS Arizona State Marraro batted .315, drove in 20 RBI’s, and stole 10 bases. Marraro only hit 2 home runs last season. Marraro has all the tools to develop into a 5 tool player if he improves his ability to hit home runs. There is no debating that Deven Marraro is a huge upgrade over Rafael Furcal who is batting .167 in 29 games this season.


Michael Wacha:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  – Michael Wacha, Texas A&M, 6’6 190, a bit funky with arm action in back swing but gets people out and will show low 90’s fb all the way into 9th inning, has upside to gain more strength and good pitchability, tough straight change that is plus and hard downer cb that will get better in time.


Cory Roberts:
