James
Crownover, Ringgold (Ga.)
Crownover is a sturdy left-hander who has touched 95 on the radar gun.
He uses his secondary stuff well, when necessary, and both his curveball and
changeup has occasionally shown as above-average pitches. He lacks projection
-- he's 6-feet tall -- so he's not likely a first-round talent, but the
compensation round could be within reach.

Mike
Zunino Florida Jr. | C | 6-2
Not only did Zunino's bat help the Gators to the College World Series
Finals as a sophomore, his play behind the plate may have helped even more.
Zunino became just the second Gator to be named SEC Player of the Year after
leading the league in hitting (.371), home runs (19), total bases (178), hits
(98), runs (75) and doubles (23). The Cape Coral, Fla., native was also named
to the All-SEC Defensive Team after committing just three errors and helping
the pitching staff to a 2.93 ERA in 2011. Named a finalist for the Johnny Bench
Award, Zunino raised his batting average even higher in the postseason, hitting
.395 in the NCAA tournament with four home runs in Florida's 11 games. http://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2012-02-08/baseball-gets-full-swing
Mark
Appel, RHP, Stanford -
My concern with Appel is that he has the potential to be dominant but
lacks...um..something. He tends to be around the plate. He leaves balls up in
the zone and almost throws too many strikes. He suffers from "pitch to
contact" syndrome; an affliction that many Minnesota Twins fans are aware
of. If a team has a good defense behind him and he pitches with a little more
killer instinct as well as develops more with instruction and better
competition, he could be a frontline starter. If he doesn't gain those things
and stays a similar pitcher, he may just be a #3 or 4 starter that you are
always expecting more from. That being said, he should go in the top 5 without
any complications and is likely to be the #1 or #2 pick overall. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/2/9/2785340/2012-baseball-draft-college-prospects-1-5
1. Joey Gallo,
1B, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) Gallo,
who’s also a bit of a prospect as a right-handed pitcher, is a big, strong
left-handed hitter that stands 6-foot-5. He creates leverage and loft and has
above-average present game power to support the projections of his raw-power
grade. He's played some third base but likely ends up at first. At the Area
Code Games last August, scouts likened him to Atlanta Braves first baseman
Freddie Freeman in terms of potential. He's committed to LSU, but has a great
chance to go in the first round if he can clean up his contact rates. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1108/joey-gallo-is-nation%e2%80%99s-top-corner-infielder
