Stuart
Turner,
Ole Miss - A JUCO transfer from LSU-Eunice, the 6’-2”, 220-pound right-hander
won the Rawlings Gold Glove and was an Academic All American. He has huge power
potential due to his size and has a good approach at the plate. Over 45 games
this season, he is hitting .376 with 13 doubles, five home runs, 43 RBI and a
.439 OBP/.567 SLG. Solid on both sides of the plate, he could be a nice pick in
the third or fourth rounds of the 2013 MLB draft. - link
Sam
Moll,
LHP (Memphis): The Tigers saw right-hander Dan Langfield go in the 3rd round of
last year’s draft, and Moll could easily go that high in 2013. The lefty’s
peripheral statistics have gone up and down the past two years with some time
spent in the rotation, and some in the bullpen. In 2011, Moll tossed 40.1 IP of
2.68 ERA ball, striking out 48 and walking 16, allowing 33 hits. In 2012, Moll
pitched 95.2 IP of 3.48 ERA ball, striking out 59 and walking 44, allowing 91
hits. During his only time in summer league ball (last year, in Cape Cod), Moll
threw 32 IP of 2.76 ERA ball with 43 K and 3 bb. While I’m not quite sure why
his strikeout rate fell so much last year, it’s jumped up a lot in 2013. So far
through 48 innings, he’s struck out 67 and walked 16, allowing 36 hits and 18
runs en route to a 2.77 ERA (2.51 FIP). The lefty has some of the best
peripheral stats in Division I ball, with excellent command and whiff rates. link

PROSPECT ON THE
RISE: MARCUS DOI, of, Mid-Pacific Institute,
Honolulu. While he wasn't as well known on the national level at this time a
year ago as middle infielder Kean Wong, Doi's breakout showing at the Area Code
Games shot him up draft boards, and with an injury to the top college prospect
(University of Hawaii left handed pitcher Jarrett Arakawa), Doi now finds
himself as the state's top draft prospect. He may have wound up being just that
even if Arakawa had remained healthy, but now there is little doubt that the
slugging outfielder is tops in the state's 2013 draft class. link

"Can handle a corner outfield spot Strong arm"
That's all I was concerned with with Smith, was whether he could play of it not. Although at this point, there may very well be a need for a 1b now since Ike clearly can't hit lefties for his life. Smith is my #1 and Wilson is my #2, assuming none of the bigger prospects don't fall to us at #11.
Even if they do, I'm sure that means they fell due to price tag, which means they will def not pick one of those players anyway, so definitely Smith & Wilson would be the two players I would target at #11.
