Never too early for 2008 MLB draft talk

Considering this is a downtime for prospect talk, I figured we could get a little talk going about 2008 draft prospects. In my oppinion this is looking like a deep draft. Ive already come up with a mini-big board, all the info I have on guys is the stuff I read but here is my mini-big board:

  1. 3B Pedro Alvarez
  2. RHP Tim Melville HS
  3. 1B Justin Smoak
  4. SS Tim Beckham HS
  5. LHP Brian Matusz
  6. 1B Eric Hosmer HS
  7. C Kyle Skipworth HS
  8. RHP Tyson Ross
  9. RHP Aaron Crow
  10. RHP Alex Meyer HS
  11. RHP Aaron Schafer
  12. RHP Michale Pallazone HS
  13. C Kyle Hightower HS
  14. SS Harold Martinez HS
  15. RHP BJ Hermsen HS
  16. OF Isaac Galloway HS
  17. RHP Garrit Cole HS
  18. SS Brandon Crawford
Whats everyones oppinion and who are some guys im missing.

I found this article too on Eric Hosmer http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/2007/columnists/davidrawnsley/weeklycolumn/hosmer_special_hitter.aspx

The guy looks like a top prospect and if he didnt play first base he would possibly be the 2nd pick.

Ive heard Alvarez is one of the best hitting prospects to come out in the past 20 years.

And Ive also read that Matusz is only behind Santana in stuff right now!

What are everyones thoughts?
