Draft 2012: - Carlos Correa, Victor Roache, Ryan Perez, Damien Magnifico, Nick Williams


10-28-11: - http://orioles-nation.com/2011/10/26/wwba-2012-highlights - Carlos Correa (Santa Isabel PR) – From a tools standpoint, he is a top ten talent.  He still continues to have the heavy pull load and ends in a position rather elongated through the zone.  He displays the bat speed to allow for these late action approaches, but will have to compact to stay effective.  He is sound defensively and will make all the plays, but he looks bottom heavy in the future and might have to move to third base.  He shows the traits for an impressive stick and professional instruction could make for a kid with dual type threat bat.  He made himself a jumper on my big board with his clutch hitting display this weekend.

11-2-11: - http://www.collegesummerbaseball.net/2011/11/top-35-position-players-in-cape-cod.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter   - Top 35 Position Players in the Cape Cod League 3.   Victor Roache  OF   Cotuit Kettleers--Georgia Southern   Victor was an offensive star for Cotuit this summer. He hit .316 with 6 home runs and 28 runs batted in. He was tied for 3rd in the league with 29 runs, 2nd in the league in home runs and 2nd in the league in runs batted in. He was named the Top Pro Prospect by the league. Both PG and BA ranked him as the 6th best prospect in the league.

11-5-11: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6364  - On his Perfect Game player profile, RHP Ryan Perez’s primary position is listed as “BHP.” That’s BHP as in “both-handed pitcher.” It’s a position also sometimes referred to as “switch-pitcher.” Regardless of which handle is attached to Perez, there is no question he’s a bit of an anomaly. But he’s also a nationally recognized top-275 prospect (class of 2012) who hopes to one day to go places no other ambidextrous pitcher has gone before. “I’ll try to go as far with this as I can,” Perez said Oct. 21 while in attendance at the PG WWBA World Championship as a member of Coach John Sarna’s Chicago Scouts Association squad. Perez is a 6-foot, 185-pound senior at Westminster Christian High School in Hampshire, Ill., whose father, Juan Perez, made the decision to develop his son into an ambidextrous thrower as soon as the youngster was old enough to pick up a ball.

11-5-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1  - •From a Kendall Rogers tweet,  Oklahoma coach Sunny Galloway stated that righthander Damien Magnifico has solid command and 3 quality pitches, but will be using mostly the fastball out of the pen.

11-4-11: - http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-2012-free-agent-and-draft-pick-possibilities/13157/#  -  OF Nick Williams, 6’-3, Ball HS (TX) – If this kid falls into their lap, they better not hesitate. As you can see from this video, the ability is off the charts with this one. Ridiculous power, speed, canon arm and an extremely coachable kid who excels both on and off the field. The Ken Griffey Jr. comparisons are there for all the right reasons. He is the type of player who could be the face of a franchise for a long time.
