Scouting reports provided by MLB.com

Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
26	Schlereth, Daniel	U Arizona	LHP	L/L	6'00"	210	1986-05-09	SR	400K
Comments: Schlereth was drafted in the eighth round last year by the A's, but chose to return to Arizona. He's got three decent offerings, though he struggles at times with commanding them. He misses a lot of bats, but he also will pile up walks at times. He's got a football mentality on the mound, courtesy of his father, former NFLer Mark, and could be the kind of left-handed setup man who gets to the bigs quickly. Enhanced Scouting Report
43	Miley, Wade	Southeastern Louisiana U	LHP	L/L	6'02"	195	1986-11-13	JR	400K
73	Shaw, Bryan	Cal St Long Beach	RHP	S/R	6'01"	215	1987-11-08	JR	400K
104	Eichhorn, Kevin	Aptos HS (CA)	RHP	R/R	6'00"	170	1990-02-06	HS	400K
Comments: A huge start in front of a large audience at the National Classic in late March certainly didn't hurt, but Eichhorn will have to work past the "undersized righty" stigma. He does have two decent offerings, plus command and poise to help him with that, as well as good bloodlines -- his father Mark spent 11 seasons in the bigs. A few years at Santa Clara might not hurt, but that will depend on when he's drafted. Enhanced Scouting Report
138	White, Ryne	Purdue U	OF	L/L	5'11"	205	1986-10-17	JR	400K
168	Cowgill, Collin	U Kentucky	CF	R/L	5'09"	195	1986-05-22	SR	400K
Comments: Cowgill is one of those college outfielders whose performance surpasses how his tools grade out. He's got a good hitting approach, but scouts don't expect him to hit for power in the future. He most likely profiles best as a fourth-outfielder type, the kind of guy who could fill in every day in center, but wouldn't be seen as a long-term solution. After turning down the A's (29th round) last year, he's certainly improved his Draft status this year. Enhanced Scouting Report
198	Parker, Justin	Wright St U	SS	R/R	6'01"	190	1987-03-14	JR
228	Reagan, Miles	El Capitan HS (CA)	RHP	R/R	6'02"		1990-11-16	HS	400K
258	McAnaney, Patrick	U Virginia	LHP	R/L	6'03"	200	1986-03-11	SR	400K
288	Moorhouse, Brett	Indian River CC	RHP	R/R	6'02"	190	1987-06-28	J3	400K
318	Hultzen, Daniel	St Albans HS (MD)	LHP	L/L	6'02"	195	1989-11-28	HS	400K
348	Greene, Kyle	Lewis-Clark St Col	3B	L/L	6'02"	200	1986-05-26	SR
378	Webb, Robert	Heath HS (KY)	RHP	R/R	6'03"	210	1989-08-18	HS	400K
Comments: There are things about Webb that scouts love: his size, his strength, his aggressiveness on the mound. Most of all, there's the velocity, which gets up to the mid-90s. What's lacking are other pitches -- his curve and slider are below average -- and his command. The team that has seen enough glimpses in those areas that convince them he'll improve will take a flier on his arm strength. That could happen within the first few rounds. Enhanced Scouting Report
408	Linton, Winston	UC Irvine	CF	L/L	5'08"	160	1986-04-07	SR	400K
438	Harden, Trevor	New Mexico JC	RHP	S/R	6'02"	215	1987-09-01	J2	400K
468	Stone, Robert	Montgomery HS (TX)	OF	L/L	6'02"	205	1989-11-14	HS
498	Hughes, Ryan	Chabot Col	LHP	L/L	6'06"	220	1988-05-20	J2
528	Babineau, Ryan	UC Los Angeles	C	R/R	6'02"	210	1986-12-13	JR	400K
Comments: Teams looking for good defense behind the plate surely know all about Babineau, one of the better catch-and-throw guys in the Draft class. Though he's improved offensively, the bat lags behind the defensive tools. He looks like a guy who could use his defense and leadership to become a solid backup catcher at the big-league level, a guy who'll shut down the running game and maybe give you a .250 average and 10 homers annually.

558	Brown, Samuel	North Carolina St U	RHP	R/R	6'05"	215	1987-06-10	SO
588	Gautier, Joseph	Bethune-Cookman Col	LHP	L/L	5'10"	165	1987-12-31	JR
618	Meaker, Jordan	Dallas Baptist U	RHP	R/R	6'06"	220	1986-09-22	JR
648	Woodall, Bryan	Auburn U	RHP	R/R	6'01"	200	1986-10-24	JR
678	La Tempa, Justin	Golden West Col	RHP	R/R	6'05"	205	1986-11-21	J3
Comments: LaTempa created some buzz early after throwing 95 mph this past fall, drawing scouts early before the college season began. He's got the possibility of two plus pitches in his fastball and slider, though his other offerings need work. With his size and arm strength, he's sure to intrigue scouts all spring.
