The Rays select . . .

Johnny Eierman, SS, Warsaw High School

Eierman possesses a lot of potential, but is still very raw in terms of as a prospect. He projects as a third baseman or corner outfielder at the next level due to a lack of range at short. He still needs to work on his consistency at the plate and refining some tools, but Eierman has a ton of upside and also has a lot of raw power. He's the kind of guy the Rays may target and take a risk on.

The Rays select Chris Reed -LHP Stanford. Reed is 6'4 190. This is a bit high by some accounts, others however feel he could slip into the late first rd. The Rays have 10 pks in the first rd / sandwhich rd. They are not likely to sign all the players they draft and may well choose to "bank" a cpl pks for next yr. Reed would likely be easier to sign and is a talented pitcher. Add to that the fact he's a lefty and jr. at stanford he should be signable and help add another arm to the Rays system.

With the last pick the rangers select Levi Micheal SS UNC

Another bat for me, but another guy I am shocked to see on the board. A legit SS, who will stay there played at a good program. Has a solid glove, good stick, nice eye, and decent speed. A guy who on draft day will go in the top 20. I double checked to make sure he was on the board, an easy pick for the rangers, he might cost a little more to sign this late, but you get an advanced college bat, who would make an idea 2 hitter down the road.

Definitely can stay at SS, but not convinced he will. 2B is a better fit for him defensively watching him, but if he can stick at SS (and he definitely could), then he is a huge steal at 33 and a solid pick even if he moves to 2B in the bigs
