RHP Dillon Howard threw three scoreless innings on Saturday afternoon in the 4-2 Redskin win. We’ve talked about Howard many times here. He currently sits in the 26th top RHP position in my composite mock draft (which will be updated around the 15th of November). We also mentioned a number of time that mock composite included an October 1st asinine draft from Draft Site in which Howard was left off the list of 214 players.
The important thing is to trend these mock drafts and here’s the result of the last four, one of which is still being printed:
10-20: - PG – ranked 9th
10-24: - XMLBScout – 10th
10-27: - Mayo – 15th
October: - Toss It – in top 12 names still to be released
It looks to me that Howard will be one of the first 15 names picked in the draft. His fastball does travel up to around 95, and the 6-3, 195 pounder throws a plus slurve.

The CBB named OF Dusty Robinson as the 79th top college player in the country. Robinson is a 5-11 junior outfield out of Fresno State who started 52 games as a sophomore: .319, 12-doubles, 52-R, 45-RBIs… BA named him to the all-freshman team…
He’s only made two of the mock drafts I have compiled… #114th on Draft Site and 51st on Toss It… I got him right now as the 21st top outfielder in the draft, which translates to around a 5th or 6th round pick.
One caveat… Robinson was arrested 9-11-10 for “Suspicion of Driving Under the Influence, Driving Above the Legal Blood-Alcohol Limit of 0.08, and Providing or Selling Alcohol to a Minor”.

College Summer Baseball featured LHP Max Knowles in a recent posting. The Cal Ripken Collegiate League named Knowles as the Most outstanding Pitcher in the summer league. Knowles won six games and posted a 1.23 ERA in the league.
Frankly, at this point, I don’t have Knowles as one of the primary left handers available for the draft. I have him as the 57th LHP available, which puts in as a second day pick.

If you like them big, Jeremy Null should be on your hit list. Null is a 6-8 right hander, out of Bunker Hill High School, in Claremont, North Carolina. His repertoire: 88-91 FB, 70-73 breaking ball…

North Carolina seems to grow baseball players and Carlos Rodon is another one you will be hearing from as the draft season heats up. Big time showing at the East Coast Pro Showcase and Futures Game. Repertoire: 72-75 slurve, 89-92 FB, touches 93. 6-2, 190 LHP… committed to NC State…
