The Top 25 Second Basemen in the 2010 Baseball Draft

1. Russell Wilson – NC State

2-8 from www.pnrscouting.com: - mock drafted 76th - big time football player



2. Ross Wilson – Alabama – junior… 2009: .353 9-HR 47-RB



10-7 from: - www.mlbresource.blogspot.com: - Ross Wilson---2B---Wilson who could be a top pick next June is a part of perhaps one of the best infields in Crimson tide history. Wilson and Josh Rutledge combine to make a great double-play combo and both will be counted on not only with their glove but also their bats.

10-8 from http://mlbbonusbaby.com - Ross Wilson, Alabama - Wilson is a middle infielder that might fit at either second or short, though his position right now is second with the Crimson Tide alongside 2010 shortstop prospect Josh Rutledge. Wilson’s one of those all-around solid hitters that has improved year-to-year and should be a solid pro hitter, too. He’s got a good eye at the plate and a solid hit tool with decent power, so he should be an intriguing guy to watch in the spring. Projected draft position: Early-second to early-third round.

16. Parks Jordan –

11-2 from www.thehardballtimes.com: - Parks Jordan, 2B, 2010, Winston-Salem, N.C., Canes - Beautiful left-handed line-drive swing (reminded me of Seth Smith), though I didn’t see much over the fence power potential. He struck out on a questionable call, and threw a pretty mild tantrum. Sort of slammed his helmet in the dugout and was pretty verbal (though not toward the umpire). A lot of scouts look down on stuff like this, but I see two sides to the coin; on one hand, maybe he does not deal with failure so well. But to me, it at least shows he gives a damn, and I like guys with a competitive streak. He’s not a high-round guy to me right now (I’d say more fourth-sixth), but he’s worth keeping an eye on. He’s committed to the University of North Carolina, which is a hitters hell. But if he’s able to prove me wrong and develop some more power during his college years, he could climb.

17. Mike Sodders – N.M. State – senior… 2009: .422 13-HR 68-RBI

21. Austin Anderson –

11-2 from www.thehardballtimes.com: - Austin Anderson, SS/2B, 2010, Sorrento, Fla., Orlando Scorpions - Anderson bats left-handed with a beautiful line-drive stroke who uses all fields. Plus bat speed, very short, quick stroke and consistently made hard contact. Saw him pull a left-hander for a long single to right-center, and later scream a liner into the left center gap off a righty. He’s an above-average runner; I had him at 4.08 to first base. The swing really made an impression on me, though, and he looked great playing second. Heard he has committed to Mississippi.

22. Jeff Yamaguchi – Lakewood HS (CA) – 6-1, 175, catcher also –



8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com: will have to find a spot for him, 2b would be a good spot for him, solid hitting stroke, hits the ball where it's pitched, made adjustments, aggressive contact, solid arm strength, 45 right now, runs ok, not a clogger and deceptive physical strength.



23. B.J. Guinn – Cal – 6-1, 165, R/R –



8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com: can switch hit, best at RHH, solid defensively, runs at least ave.
