7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Zeke DeVoss, Miami, 5’9 1/2 170, L/L, gets on base, makes solid contact, 270 type hitter with fair power at best, good instincts and jumps in CF, enough arm to stick there, will goes as far as bat takes him. 4-7 round type guy at best for me.

9-8-11: - http://www.gacksports.com/65590/2012-mlb-mock-draft-update - 4. Seattle Mariners Deven Marrero Short Stop Arizona State You can make the case that Deven Marrero, Michael Wacha, or Nick Williams is worthy of being the #4 overall pick. Seattle usually takes college players over high school players. That leaves Devin Marrero and Michael Wacha by process of elimination. The Mariners are 17th in team ERA so you got to go with Marrero here.

A Cape Cod All-League selection and a starter in the All-Star game at Fenway Park, Baltz (.321) was one of 15 players in the league that batted above .300 for the season. The outfielder had a league-best 13 doubles, and ranked third in RBI (23), fifth in on-base percentage (.434), tied for fifth in hits (45), seventh in slugging percentage (.457) and tied for eighth in runs scored (21). The outfielder also batted .393 (11-for-28) with two doubles and three RBI in seven playoff games as Falmouth, which finished fourth in the Western Division in the regular season, surged in the postseason and reached the Cape Cod Baseball League championship series. The Harwich Mariners, however, swept the Commodores in the best-of-three title series.

Individually, there were at least 25 position players that turned in great seasons. Unfortunately, I had to narrow the list down to the top 20. - 2. B.J. Zimmerman 1B Winter Park—Tampa - Zimmerman, a big first baseman from the University of Tampa hit .355 in 110 at-bats this summer. A former Washington Nationals draft pick, B.J, led the league with 30 runs batted in and he also scored 20 for the Dawgs. He walked 21 times, stole 3 bases and smacked one double in the All-Star Game. He also hit .333, with 2 doubles in the playoffs. Perfect Game ranked him as the 18th best prospect in the league.

9-14-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/09/12/byron-buxton-draft-profile  - Byron Buxton is the consensus top prospect from the state of Georgia. He shot up drafts boards over the summer and is now mentioned as a possible top 5 overall selection in the 2012 draft. Buxton is a two way prospect, pitching and playing the outfield. He shows promise as a hitter and pitcher, but his bat will be his ticket at the next level. He is a top athlete and plays quarterback for Appling County in the fall. His long frame will allow him to add strength as he matures. Buxton has quick hands and an easy swing. A pull hitter, he makes consistent solid contact. He has plus speed, clocked from 3.89 to 4.12 from the right side and at 3.18 on a steal. Buxton is solid in the field, aided greatly by his plus speed. With his speed and strong accurate arm, he should remain in centerfield longterm.
