290	O'Brien, Michael	Hidden Valley HS (VA)	RHP	R/R	5'11"	185	1990-03-03	HS
320	Mitchell, William	Clemson U	RHP	R/R	6'02"	165	1987-05-13	JR
Comments: Building off a strong Cape League season, Mitchell has had a solid junior season as Clemson's Friday starter. He's wiry and athletic and while he doesn't possess the greatest pure stuff in the world, he gets the most out of it by going right after hitters and keeping his team in games. There may not be a ton of upside or projection, but there's always a market for a college hurler who battles. Enhanced Scouting Report
1220	Mende, Samuel	Clearwater Central Catholic HS (FL)	SS	R/R	6'01"	166	1990-01-09	HS	400K

530	Maruszak, Addison	U South Florida	SS	R/R	6'01"	195	1986-12-21	JR
200	Marshall, Brett	Ross S Sterling HS (TX)	RHP	R/R	6'00"	195	1990-03-22	HS	400K
Comments: Marshall has leapt on the map showing a huge jump in velocity, from 87-88 mph a year ago all the way up to 96 this year. He's got a plus slider to go along with it. The changeup lags behind, but that can come in time. He's relatively new to pitching and it shows in his delivery and his inability to repeat his mechanics. But with two plus pitches right now, Marshall's name is certainly on the rise. Enhanced Scouting Report
740	Lyon, Michael	Northeastern U	3B	R/R	6'01"	210	1986-08-13	SR
950	Lucian, Spencer	Princeton U	2B	R/R	6'02"	205	1985-10-04	SR

860	Gross, Chad	Cuesta Col	RF	R/R	6'06"	225	1988-05-03	J2	400K
380	Greinke, Luke	Auburn U	RHP	R/R	6'01"	195	1986-06-14	JR	400K
1421	Flannery, Ryan	Fairleigh Dickinson U Madison	RHP	R/R	6'03"	245	1986-01-06	SR
1100	Dwyer, Christopher	Salisbury School (MA)	LHP	R/L	6'03"	210	1988-04-10	HS	400K
28	Cole, Gerrit	Orange Lutheran HS (CA)	RHP	R/R	6'03"	195	1990-09-08	HS	400K
Comments: A projectable high school right-hander with the capability already to throw a fastball up into the upper 90s is bound to garner interest. Throw in a future plus slider and a changeup, all for which he can throw for strikes, and it's no wonder Cole is considered one of the top prep pitchers in the class. He's going to have to work out some kinks in his delivery and he's got Scott Boras as an advisor, but neither of those issues should keep him from being drafted early. Enhanced Scouting Report
1160	Caulfield, Clay	Col of Charleston	RHP	R/R	6'02"	210	1985-09-23	JR
260	Brewer, Daniel	Bradley U	CF	R/R	6'00"	185	1987-07-19	JR	400K

75	Bittle, Joseph	U Mississippi	RHP	R/R	6'01"	190	1986-08-27	SR	400K
680	Arbiso, Cory	Cal St Fullerton	RHP	R/R	6'03"	212	1986-04-21	SR	400K
106	Adams, David	U Virginia	2B	R/R	6'02"	205	1987-05-15	JR	400K
Comments: The University of Virginia has become a good proving ground for legit pro prospects in recent years, and while Adams isn't Ryan Zimmerman, he should do pretty well in this year's Draft. A solid hard-nosed type, he gets the ultimate praise from scouts as being a real "baseball player." He's hit in the past, but didn't fare so well this season, which might affect him somewhat, but likely not too much. Enhanced Scouting Report
