Julius Gaines, Jed Bradley, Daniel Norris, Zach Davies, Adam Conley,

Jed Bradley - LHP - Georgia Tech. 6'3" 205. Last Drafted: Never. Update: Now that I've had the chance to see Bradley throw on film a few times, I'm even more impressed with his stuff. Though he lacks polish and command, so does Gerrit Cole, the top pitcher in this class. prospectjunkies



28. Braves – Julius Gaines – SS – Luella HS Much like the Royals the Braves are a team that loves to draft local talent and they love to find little diamonds under rated diamonds. Gaines maybe that diamond. He’s not projected to go in the first round but I think he could very well be drafted here. He’s a very slick fielder and maybe on par with Lindor. His bat is the question but with a few tweaks I like what could become of him. He reminds me similarly to that of Mychael Givens of the Baltimore Orioles. sodomojo 

6. Washington Nationals: Jed Bradley, LHP, Georgia Tech Bradley and Hultzen are the two best LHPs in this draft. Bradley has command of his pitches and isn’t afraid to pitch inside. Roy Clark likely has a ton of information on him from his connections in Georgia. Bradley would slot nicely in between Strasburg and Zimmermann. The pick just makes a lot of sense. If everything works out we could have a homegrown rotation of Strasburg, Zimmermann, Detwiler, Solis and Bradley by 2013. nationalsprospects.

17. Angels – Daniel Norris, LHP, HS (Tennessee) The Angels more often than not take high school pitchers in the first round. Norris, the top-rated high school lefty at this time last year, falls to them, despite doing nothing to lower his stock since then. nickmendola.

Zach Davies, Mesquite (Gilbert, Ariz.), P, Sr - Besides posting an 11-0 record on the season with 58 strikeouts, Davies also is batting .408 with 21 RBI, eight doubles and three home runs for a team challenging for the Arizona 5A Division I state championship. maxpreps.

RP Adam Conley, Washington State: Conley saved 12 games as WSU’s primary closer in 2010 and pitched mostly in relief as a freshman and sophomore for the Cougars. Though installed as his team’s Friday starter this spring --mainly on the basis of need -- Conley has excelled in every role, and would fit nicely in a variety of relief responsibilities on this team. Conley has a quick, live, loose arm and can throw strides with uncanny routine. His explosive fastball frequently reaches 95-96 mph, but he profiles a relief role because of the violence in his delivery and modest secondary stuff. perfectgame
