Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
61	Lindblom, Joshua	Purdue U	RHP	R/R	6'05"	240	1987-06-15	JR	400K
62	Adams, Thomas	Southern Illinois U Carbondale	RHP	R/R	6'02"	180	1986-11-26	JR	400K
63	Wilson, Kenneth	Sickles HS (FL)	CF	R/R	6'00"	165	1990-01-30	HS	400K
64	Stovall, Robert	Hokes Bluff HS (AL)	LHP	L/L	6'01"	180	1989-12-27	HS	400K
65	Shafer, Aaron	Wichita St U	RHP	L/R	6'05"	195	1986-12-02	JR	400K
66	Raben, Dennis	U Miami	RF	L/L	6'03"	220	1987-07-31	JR	400K
Comments: After an All-Star campaign in the Cape, scouts were eager to see what Raben would do for an encore, especially since the outfield group this spring is relatively weak. Unfortunately, he's been disappointing since coming off a back issue. He's got a long swing and takes too many pitches, often hitting in negative counts. His raw power from the left side will still get him drafted fairly early, but maybe not quite as soon as it once seemed. Enhanced Scouting Report
67	Satterwhite, Cody	U Mississippi	RHP	R/R	6'04"	205	1987-01-27	JR	400K
Comments: Originally the Ole Miss Saturday starter, Satterwhite got bumped to Sundays because of his uneven performance. Scouts still love his body and his arm strength, but he's gotten hit much more than you'd think he should based on his electric stuff. The issues largely come from inconsistencies in his delivery and despite the subpar season, a team that feels it can tweak his mechanics is still likely to draft the right-hander fairly early. Enhanced Scouting Report
68	Rodriguez, Javier	Puerto Rico BB Academy HS	OF	R/R	6'02"	165	1990-04-04	HS	400K
69	Darnell, James	U South Carolina Columbia	3B	R/R	6'02"		1987-01-19	JR	400K
Comments: Not as much a pure hitter as his South Carolina teammates Justin Smoak and Reese Havens, Darnell still makes solid contact and has some line-drive power, particularly to the pull side. The Cape League All-Star is strong, but not very agile defensively. That could force a move to a corner-outfield position in the future. How much people think he can develop his raw power may determine how quickly he gets drafted. Enhanced Scouting Report
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
71	Knapp, Jason	North Hunterdon Reg HS (NJ)	RHP	R/R	6'05"	225	1990-08-31	HS	400K
72	Blackmon, Charles	Georgia Tech	RF	L/L	6'03"	200	1986-07-01	SR	400K
73	Shaw, Bryan	Cal St Long Beach	RHP	S/R	6'01"	215	1987-11-08	JR	400K
74	Chatwood, Tyler	Redlands East Valley HS (CA)	RHP	R/R	5'11"	175	1989-12-16	HS	400K
Comments: Chatwood is an intriguing athlete and pitcher. Some see him on the mound and some see him as a super-utility type. He does have command of two good pitches, though his size could keep some from being too interested. How he progresses on the mound could determine when he gets drafted. Enhanced Scouting Report
75	Bittle, Joseph	U Mississippi	RHP	R/R	6'01"	190	1986-08-27	SR	400K
76	Haley, Curtis	Central Heights HS (TX)	RHP	R/R	6'03"	180	1990-06-21	HS	400K
Comments: It's not a good year for talent in the usually loaded state of Texas, but there always has to be at least a few intriguing prep arms. Haley may be the best of the lot with a projectable frame, a good delivery and two outstanding pitches he commands well. He's another East Texas kid in the Clay Buchholz mold, and if he can prove people he's not just good because of the lack of competition -- something he's done all spring -- he should give the state of Texas some pride on Draft day. Enhanced Scouting Report
77	Gibson, Derrik	Seaford HS (DE)	SS	R/R	6'01"	170	1989-12-05	HS	400K
78	Jefferies, Jacob	UC Davis	C	L/R	6'02"	200	1987-10-30	JR	400K
Comments: Not on the map to start the season, Jefferies has had a tremendous junior campaign and has been steadily moving up the ladder all year. A terrific contact hitter who almost never strikes out, he hasn't shown much power. Defensively, he's pretty good, though the arm is fringy. Whichever team sees more arm or more power in the future will likely be the one to take him. Enhanced Scouting Report
79	Mercer, Jordy	Oklahoma St U	SS	R/R	6'03"	190	1986-08-27	JR	400K
80	Sample, Tyler	J K Mullen Prep School (CO)	RHP	R/R	6'07"		1989-06-27	HS	400K
Comments: If you're looking for a big right-hander with power stuff, Sample might be your guy. He's got a fastball that cranks up to 95 mph and a hammer curve. He doesn't use the change much, but it should be a pitch for him in the future. He's never going to be an above-average command guy, but he should throw enough strikes to be successful. He might be a bit of a project, but at 6-foot-7 with that kind of stuff, someone will be willing to try and see it through. Enhanced Scouting Report
81	Hoes, Jerome	St Johns HS (MD)	2B	R/R	6'01"		1990-03-05	HS	400K
82	Kieschnick, Roger	Texas Tech U	RF	L/R	6'03"	215	1987-01-21	JR	400K
Comments: Kieschnick is a potential five-tool corner outfielder who could hit for power and steal a few bases. He plays a fearless outfield, getting to plenty of balls and showing off a good arm at times. The one knock is an issue with his mechanics at the plate that concerns some about his hitting ability at the next level. Still, an aggressive college outfielder -- in a weak class of outfielders -- who has those tools should get plenty of interest. Enhanced Scouting Report
83	Olmos, Edgar	Birmingham HS (CA)	LHP	L/L	6'05"	180	1990-04-12	HS	400K
84	Stewart, Zachary	Texas Tech U	RHP	R/R	6'02"	205	1986-09-28	JR	400K
Comments: College closers have become all the rage lately, with some getting drafted early every year. Stewart could be in that group in 2008. The Texas Tech reliever relies on a plus fastball and slider and commands both power offerings well. He's got the kind of makeup you want in a short reliever, a guy who is very aggressive and goes right after hitters. The stuff plus the mentality could push Stewart into early-round consideration. Enhanced Scouting Report
85	Fife, Stephen	U Utah	RHP	R/R	6'03"	210	1986-10-04	JR	400K
86	Morel, Brent	Cal Poly San Luis Obispo	3B	R/R	6'01"	220	1987-04-21	JR	400K
87	Espinosa, Daniel	Cal St Long Beach	SS	S/R	6'00"	190	1987-04-25	JR	400K
Comments: Yes, it's another shortstop courtesy of Long Beach State. This one doesn't have quite the offensive skill set that his predecessors had, but he can handle the bat a little bit. Defensively, he's got outstanding instincts and a plus arm. He may not go as high as Crosby, Tulo and Longoria did, but he's sure to garner plenty of interest. Enhanced Scouting Report
88	Davidson, Charles	Milton HS (GA)	OF	L/R	6'05"	222	1990-01-14	HS	400K
89	Murphy, Timothy	UC Los Angeles	LHP	L/L	6'02"	205	1987-05-07	JR	400K
Comments: College lefties are always of interest come Draft time and this Draft class does not have a ton to offer. Murphy offers up a four-pitch repertoire that he mixes well to keep hitters guessing. His stuff isn't off the charts, but he has a good idea of how to pitch and is a battler on the mound. If he can clean up some mechanical problems, he can become a durable strike-throwing starter at the next level. Enhanced Scouting Report
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
