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:
- 3B Pedro Alvarez
- RHP Tim Melville HS
- 1B Justin Smoak
- SS Tim Beckham HS
- LHP Brian Matusz
- 1B Eric Hosmer HS
- C Kyle Skipworth HS
- RHP Tyson Ross
- RHP Aaron Crow
- RHP Alex Meyer HS
- RHP Aaron Schafer
- RHP Michale Pallazone HS
- C Kyle Hightower HS
- SS Harold Martinez HS
- RHP BJ Hermsen HS
- OF Isaac Galloway HS
- RHP Garrit Cole HS
- SS Brandon Crawford
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?
