2011 DRAFT: - Shain Stoner, Charles Tilson, C.J. McElroy, Jerrick Suiter... and Phillip Evans

Shain Stoner:



7-26 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?q=Y&a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702&p=4  - Here are some names of draft eligibles for 2011 who have not been mentioned much and are definitely on the radar for 2011 MLB scouting depts. – Shortstops - Shain Stoner, Southern Nazarene U., Idaho, 6'1 185, R/R, very good arm and power threat, one of top batting averages in NAIA in 2010, running speed is good for his size and may end up surprising many clubs next spring.


Charles Tilson:


8-11-10 from: - http://baseballanalysts.com/  - Charles Tilson (New Trier, Winnetka, IL) showed off his athleticism on Thursday by running the fourth-fastest 60 (6.54) and stealing three bases that evening. On Saturday, a scout sitting in my row clocked the lefthanded-hitting center fielder at 3.98 while an area supervisor in front of me had him at 4.0 exactly on an infield single that didn't even draw a throw. So as not to be labeled a one-trick pony, Tilson opened Sunday's game by slugging the first home run of the tournament. It was an impressive blast to right field into a slight breeze coming off the ocean. He singled and stole two more bases later in the game and threw out a runner at third to top it all off.


C.J. McElroy:


8-12-10: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=117  - The Rangers position players did a whole lot of striking out today (11 in 7 innings) but one player who made things happen was centerfielder C.J. McElroy (5'10" 185, R/R) from Clear Creek HS-League City (TX). One word describes McElroy's offensive game... havoc. He broke up a no-hitter with an excellent drag bunt in the 3rd inning (ran 3.92 down the line), had an infield single (ran 4.21) and then was hit by a pitch. He forced the action and has a chance to be an ignitor at the top of the order. He reminds me a bit of A's outfielder Rajai Davis.


Jerrick Suiter


http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-preseason-all-america-tournament/2010/2610524.html  - RHP - Valparaiso (Ind.) HS Suiter is an athletic, three-sport star with a solid 6-foot-3 frame. His fastball has gotten up to 93 mph and there is more velocity in his future. Suiter's secondary pitches are developing, with the makings of a quality curveball and changeup. He has also showed some promise behind the plate as well.


Phillip Evans:


8-13-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=122  - There were four hits for the Brewers and two by middle infielder Phillip Evans (5'10" 180, R/R) from La Costa Canyon HS-Carlsbad (CA). Evans plays with some flash that I don't care for but underneath is all he is a really solid and talented baseball player, with good skill, ability, and feel for the game. He hits to all fields, hits all pitches, and is a good baserunner. In the infield you will not find too many fielders with softer hands than he has. I can see him being a favorite of the scouts come draft day for his potential as an offensive second baseman, maybe along the lines of a Placido Polanco type.
