Draft 2012: Nick Williams, Danny Canela, Stryker Trahan, Jose De Leon

5. Nick Williams, OF, Bats Left/Throws Left, Ball HS, Galveston, TX  - Lefthanded hitters who combine speed and power are as unique as an apology at a Bud Selig press conference. Williams' quickness and strong arm make him an ideal fit for any of the three outfield spots. He sparkled on the showcase circuit in 2011, blasting mammoth drives during home run contests. Home run derbies are not games, of course, and Williams must ditch his severe upper cut showcase hack and revert to his natural, near level "on plane" swing. Williams has been bothered by a hand injury this spring. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/highschool/02/13/baseball.top.10.prospects/index.html#ixzz1mJYi8Rky   

NC State JR 3B Danny Canela - Canela is the best of the conference’s weakest 2012 draft position. 2013 is a different story with Colin Moran (North Carolina), Chase Butler (Georgia Tech), Tyler Palmer (Miami), and Chad Pinder (Virginia Tech) all positioned to be early round picks. Canela’s strong arm allows him to play a little deeper than others at the hot corner, enabling him to increase his so-so range. To his credit, he makes all the plays on balls hit to him. Offensively, he’s got good strength, solid bat speed, and a decent amount of patience. A creative team might try to maximize his value by trying him as a 3B/1B/C hybrid professionally  http://baseballdraftreport.com/

1. Stryker Trahan, Acadiana (Lafayette, La.)   Trahan possesses good arm strength, quick feet and a consistent swing that produces above-average power from the left side of the plate. He's strong and sturdy, suggesting he can physically handle catching long term, but he also runs well, posting times from home to first in the low four-second range. He's committed to Ole Miss, but the 6-foot-1, 215-pounder has a chance to be taken off the board among the top 20 picks and is among the better high school catching prospects over the past five years. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1148/stryker-trahan-is-nation%E2%80%99s-best-backstop

Jose De Leon, RHP, Southern-  A sophomore and eligible in 2013, De Leon’s fastball was reported to be mid 90′s, but it was 90-92 on the day.  He relied very heavily on his fastball and had problems with his control, hitting 3 batters on the day and walking 2 in 3.2 innings. http://mlbdraftguide.com/
