Roache, OF, Georgia Southern - Defensively, Roache is an
adequate corner outfielder. He doesn't have a rocket for an arm but it is
strong enough to be useful and he is accurate. He covers enough ground and is a
good enough athlete to be a solid outfielder. I don't see a positional change
needed here although he is a big guy at 6'1", 225 lbs. I have heard he is
a plus runner but I would rate him closer average.

Roth School: South Carolina Cl.:
Senior, Ht.: 6-1, Wt.: 210 Hometown.: Greer, S.C. High school: Riverside Two seasons ago, the talented left-handed
pitcher was just a reliever for the Gamecocks. Now he’s one of the nation’s
elite starters. Roth had a magical junior campaign for the Gamecocks and returned
for another season. In 2011, he had a 1.06 ERA in 145 innings, limiting teams
to a .208 average. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6498

Foody, IMG Baseball Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) - Foody, a Florida State commit, is big and
strong at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, but he remains athletic and showed toughness
in coming back from shoulder problems prior to last season. He employs a
fastball, curveball and changeup, and has hit the low 90s in 2011. He could
pitch his way into the first round with a strong spring. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1086/max-fried-leads-class-of-2012-left-handers
Joey Gallo is a physically strong, 6-foot-5, 205-pound,
CI/RHP from Bishop Gorman HS (NV). One
of the elite bats in the 2012 draft class, Gallo possesses power to all fields
with exceptional pull-side power.
However, it’s not just the left-handed hitter’s bat that intrigues
scouts – Gallo also has potential on the mound. With a low-90s arm across the
diamond, scouts will continue to debate whether Gallo is more projectable as a
position player or pitcher. Given his
6-foot-5 frame, he has impressive athleticism and exhibits natural defensive
actions at third base. However, he isn’t
an elite defender and will probably never grade higher than a 55 at the hot
corner. Gallo’s best tool is without a doubt his power, which has the potential
to be a 65 or 70 by the time he arrives in the Major Leagues. Last season at
Bishop Gorman, he batted .471 with 25 home runs and 76 RBI while posting a
24/17 BB/K rate. In 2010, Gallo swatted 15
bombs while posting a .474 batting average. http://thegoldensombrero.com/wordpress/archives/5929
