Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
793	Wyatt, Brent	Lewis-Clark St Col	SS	S/R	5'10"	185	1985-01-25	SR
941	Wilson, Kyle	Hill JC	3B	S/R	6'00"	195	1987-02-04	J2
180	Williams, Kenneth	Wichita St U	CF	S/R	6'00"	180	1986-05-22	SR	400K
710	Wilkes, Ryan	U Kentucky	SS	S/R	5'11"	190	1985-08-22	SR
255	Weems, William	Baylor U	SS	S/R	5'10"	175	1987-07-28	JR	400K
12	Weeks, Jemile	U Miami	2B	S/R	5'10"	175	1987-01-26	JR	400K
Comments: Even though he plays the same position as his older brother, Rickie, Jemile is not the same kind of player. He doesn't have, and likely will never have, the kind of power Rickie does. He runs extremely well and with a line-drive approach, could be a good table setter. His defense is somewhat in question, but a move to center would fix that. The Brewers drafted Weeks in the eighth round in 2005 and it's clear that it was more than just a favor to his brother. Enhanced Scouting Report
321	Webb, Donnie	Oklahoma St U	CF	S/R	5'11"	190	1986-04-30	JR
1472	Uhl, Roy	UC Riverside	CF	S/L	5'08"	175	1987-04-02	JR
424	Thomas, David	Catawba Col	CF	S/R	5'11"	180	1986-07-29	SR
1336	Swagerty, Matthew	Prestonwood Christian Academy (TX)	RHP	S/R	6'00"	175	1989-07-14	HS	400K
1064	Suire, Kyle	U Louisiana Monroe	2B	S/R	5'11"	200	1985-08-22	SR
391	Stouffer, Blake	Texas A&M U	2B	S/R	6'00"	195	1985-10-11	SR	400K
70	Spruill, Ezekiel	Kell HS (GA)	RHP	S/R	6'04"	184	1989-09-11	HS	400K
Comments: The very definition of a projectable high school right-hander, Spruill has the size and flashes the pitches to be an intriguing prospect. His fastball runs up to 94 mph, though he doesn't always maintain it. He's got a smooth delivery, but a long arm sweep is an issue. There's a lot to work with here, and a team that likes projectable arms won't hesitate to take him. Enhanced Scouting Report
11	Smoak, Justin	U South Carolina Columbia	1B	S/L	6'04"	220	1986-12-05	JR	400K
Comments: There are a number of top-notch college first basemen in this year's class and Smoak is right at the top of the list. That's because he's got a smooth and easy swing that generates plenty of power from both sides of the plate. This isn't college power; it will translate just fine to the pro game. He can't run and is limited to first base defensively, but there will be more than enough bat to make up for those shortcomings. Enhanced Scouting Report
73	Shaw, Bryan	Cal St Long Beach	RHP	S/R	6'01"	215	1987-11-08	JR	400K
156	Romero, Nicholas	San Diego St U	3B	S/R	6'01"	200	1987-07-15	JR	400K
1468	Rodriguez, Joshua	South Mountain CC	C	S/R	5'09"	190	1988-02-14	J1
107	Phelps, Robert	Stanford U	2B	S/R	6'02"	200	1987-01-23	JR	400K
993	Petralli, Benjamin	Oral Roberts U	C	S/R	6'02"	180	1985-10-07	JR
866	Perez, Dennis	Universidad de Puerto Rico Arecibo	C	S/R	5'11"	185	1988-07-30	J2	400K
379	Pardo, Braulio	St Leo Col	C	S/R	6'00"	185	1986-10-10	JR
90	Paramore, Preston	Arizona St U	C	S/R	6'02"	205	1986-10-30	JR	400K
Comments: These numbers may sum him up: In his first two seasons, he committed four total errors and walked 17 times more than he struck out. While he has a good game plan and handles the bat fine, particularly from the right side, it's his all-around defensive acumen that should interest scouts the most. Enhanced Scouting Report
608	Ohlmann, Liam	Manchester CC	RHP	S/R	6'01"	228	1986-09-15	J2
151	Nieto, Adrian	American Heritage School (FL)	C	S/R	6'00"		1989-11-12	HS	400K
Comments: Generally considered to be the second-best prep catcher in the Draft class, Nieto has a solid approach at the plate and a very strong arm behind it. However, an elbow injury last year has limited his time behind the plate and he struggled a bit defensively early this season. On the same team as top prospect Eric Hosmer, he'll get plenty of chances to show improvement in front of scouts this spring. Enhanced Scouting Report
1454	Morales, Hector	University of Puerto Rico-Carolina	CF	S/R	5'08"	150	1989-08-26	J1
146	Miclat, Greg	U Virginia	SS	S/R	5'09"	175	1987-07-23	JR

382	McClain, Robert	Cumberland U	LHP	S/L	6'00"	170	1987-03-26	JR
891	McCarney, Ryan	Col of the Canyons	RHP	S/R	6'02"	180	1987-02-24	J3	400K
930	McCann, James	Dos Pueblos HS (CA)	C	S/R	6'02"	185	1990-06-13	HS	400K
