		<title>Scouting Video: Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Left-hander Chris Sale’s frame is long, loose and lean and offers the potential that there is more power to come in his arm. That is one reason why I like Sale, because I think he has more projection that you typically find in college starting pitchers considered for the first round. Most times, guys who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Video: Jesus Valdez, RHP, Hueneme (CA) HS (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus Valdez has the makings of a sinker-slider type with a 90-92 fastball and a loose body. Note the final two pitches of the video where he intentionally dropped his slot for a different look. Right there, I said to myself, Jeff Weaver.

		<title>Scouting Video: Zack Cox, 3B, Arkansas (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best scouting is done when the player doesn’t know anyone is watching. Here’s a look at Arkansas third baseman Zack Cox in early work, showing his swing. Take a look and we’ll break him down.


Some projections have Cox going in the first round in 2010. While I agree he’s a solid draft pick, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Video: Jameson Taillon, RHP, The Woodlands (TX) HS (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jameson Taillon was reportedly throwing 97 in his first high school outing, just about what you would expect from the right-hander at this stage and akin to the velocity he was producing in this video.


Taillon’s got as much raw fastball power as any of the top right-handed pitching prospects in recent seasons. As far as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ace vs. Ace: Addison Reed (San Diego State) vs. Alex Meyer (Kentucky)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was a meeting of Friday night starters at different stages of their pitching lives. In San Diego State’s Addison Reed, you have a junior who is learning to stretch himself out from closing to starting and showing he knows how to pitch in the process. In Kentucky’s Alex Meyer, you have a young right-hander [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Video: Kevin Keyes, OF, Texas (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Powerfully built with signs of right-handed power to all fields, Kevin Keyes is going to go as far as his power will take him.


For me, Keyes profiles as a corner player with power to play every day. I would see him at 1B, RF or LF. In this video, you can see raw strength. Keyes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Update: Dylan Covey, RHP Maranatha (CA) HS (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dylan Covey struck out 12 in five innings in his season debut Friday night in Pasadena, showing four pitches and fastball command beyond typical high school right-handed power arms.

Covey, who played catch with his fastball at 91-92 in February at the Scouting Bureau workout, ramped up his power on a cool and damp night. He pitched [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Update: Jesus Valdez, RHP, Hueneme (CA) HS (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus Valdez made his season debut Friday at Chatsworth HS, but the right-hander did not separate himself. Valdez hit 91-92 in the first inning with his four-seam fastball, no change from when we saw him at the Area Code Games or the Scouting Bureau workout.

Valdez’s two-seam fastball worked at 88-89 with left-side run. He lacked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scouting Snapshot: Devin Lohman, SS, Long Beach State (2010 Draft)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Devin Lohman will find himself a job after the 2010 draft. He should have a chance to kick around baseball for a few years based on a few tools. We’ll break him down here.

Lohman lacks the imposing physicality of some shortstops, but his body type will be suited to staying in the middle of the [...]]]></description>
