Scouting reports provided by MLB.com

Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
13	Wallace, Brett	Arizona St U	3B	L/R	6'02"	235	1986-08-26	JR	400K
Comments: Drawing rave reviews for his work in the box, he's one of the best hitters in college and perhaps in the entire Draft class. His unbelievable plate discipline will undoubtedly be attractive to some teams, though it's unlikely he'll play anything but first as a pro. He could be the kind of Major Leaguer who hits .300 with 25 homers and a high OBP annually. Enhanced Scouting Report
1463	Veres, Adam	St Petersburg JC	RHP	R/R	6'03"	230	1988-03-19	J2
91	Vasquez, Ernest	Durango HS (NV)	SS	R/R	5'11"	175	1989-02-26	HS	400K
Comments: Vasquez played in his first game of the season at the end of March because he was academically ineligible. When he's on the field, he shows a bat that could translate into a .270 hitter with 20-25 home run pop down the line. He has well below-average speed, which turns some off when considering him as a shortstop, but he's got the arm and the actions to stay there for now. If he fills out, he could handle a move to third, both with the glove and what's expected from that position offensively, in the future. Enhanced Scouting Report

59	Peterson, Shane	Cal St Long Beach	OF	L/L	6'00"	195	1988-02-11	JR	400K
Comments: A fairly good athlete, Peterson has shown the ability to hit for average in college, but it's unclear whether his approach will work at the pro level. There have been glimpses of power in BP, but not in games, lending some to wonder if he's got enough pop to play first or a corner outfield spot as a pro. Defensively, he's fine at either position with enough arm for right. How much power people think he'll develop later on could determine how quickly he gets taken. Enhanced Scouting Report

605	Mateo, Luis	Jose Rojas Cortez Superior HS	SS	R/R	6'00"	160	1990-05-23	HS	400K
1325	Maertz, Santo	St Peters Col	RHP	R/R	6'02"	205	1986-05-09	SR
39	Lynn, Michael	U Mississippi	RHP	R/R	6'05"	250	1987-05-12	JR	400K
Comments: Lacking great pure stuff, Lynn is a level behind the elite college arms in this Draft class. But he makes the most out of his average offerings with excellent command, a knowledge of how to pitch and a real competitive streak on the mound. He's done a good job of maintaining his weight this year and will have to continue to do so as a pro. He won't wow you, but he's the type who could be a solid innings-eater who presumably won't take long to be big-league ready. Enhanced Scouting Report
