       9 (291): Matthew Lane, LHP, 6-5, 195, NW Florida State Coll.
       8-5, 2.17 ERA, 92 K, 34 BB, 79 H in 99.1 IP this
       spring. 6-5, 195. Outside BA's top 100 Florida prospects.
       Pitched for Mississippi State as a freshman in 2010: 12 IP, 5.25
       ERA, 9 K, 12 BB, 13 H.
       10 (321): Benjamin O'Shea, LHP, 6-5, 255, Santa Fe CC (FL)
       3.03 ERA with 98 K, 15 BB and 57 H in 65.1 IP this
       spring. BA ranks him the No. 49 prospect in Florida. Typically
       sat in the upper 80s, but his frame obviously gives hope for a
       velocity bump. Good change, mediocre curve. Maryland commit.
       11 (351): Blair Walters, LHP, 6-0, 200, Hawaii
       The college senior makes it three LHP in a row.
       Reliever. 4.14 ERA, 34 K, 17 BB, 42 H in 41.1 IP. As a junior:
       35.2 IP, 7.07 ERA, 35 K, 12 H, 47 H. Transferred to Hawaii after
       two years of JuCo ball. Throws a hard sinker in low 90s, needs
       to develop secondary pitches.
       12 (381): Andrew Virgili, RHP, 6-2, 205, Lynn U.

       The guy we picked in the second round scouting says his fastball
       is mid 90's... Watch him be at 88 when n he gets to rookie
       league

       12 (381): Andrew Virgili, RHP, 6-2, 205, Lynn U. (DII)
       2.35 ERA, 94 K, 25 BB, 86 H in 95.2 IP (14 starts)
       as a junior this spring. Struggled in two years of JuCo ball
       before transferring to Lynn. Lynn player bio
       13 (411): Chadd Krist, C, R/R, 5-11, 199, Cal
       That makes three Cal Bears drafted by the Sox
       today. Hit .306/.386/.444 with 27 BB and 32 K in 216 as a junior
       this spring. Struggled as a freshman but hit .344/.422/.609 as a
       sophomore. BA says strong arm with good agility behind the plate
       and is a hard worker. Defense sounds solid, but the bat is the
       question mark. Cal player bio
       14 (441): Mark Ginther, 3B, R/R, 6-3, 200, Oklahoma St.
       Hit .292/.337/.517 with 16 BB and 34 K in 236 AB as
       a junior this spring. .320/.369/.569 as a sophomore (notice the
       trend yet? bat changes killed offensive numbers this year). Big
       power bat with good athleticism and arm strength. Also pitched
       and played football in high school. BA says could have been
       taken in top three rounds out of high school, but needs to
       improve his approach at the plate. Too aggressive. Ok State
       player bio (says he's a Cubs fan). MLB.com's scouting video
       15 (471): David Herbek, SS, R/R, 6-1, 180, James Madison
       Hit .362/.443/.672 with 15 HR, 24 BB and 30 K in
       229 AB this spring as a senior. 13/17 in stolen bases. BA says
       he has a chance to stick at SS. Big pop from SS. JMU player bio
       16 (501): Chris Bassitt, RHP, 6-5, 205, Akron
       The fourth-year junior made 28 relief appearances
       for the Zips this year. 1.42 ERA, 48 K, 15 BB, 24 H in 38 IP
       with 7 saves. Throws a low 90s sinker and a slider from a 3/4
       arm angle.
       17 (531): Collin Kuhn, OF, R/R, 6-0, 195, Arkansas
       Another fourth-year junior and another four-year
       college player. Hit .282/.370/.466 with 22 steals in 24
       attempts. Hit .336 with 15 HR as a sophomore. Good speed, but
       weak arm.

       Crap.  I saw "walker in shock" in the link and thought we
       finally canned our hitting coach...
       Blah.

       18 (561): Bryan Blough, RHP, 6-1, 190, Kennesaw State
       BA says fastball 88-92 with a decent slider. 3.61
       ERA, 84 K, 20 BB, 94 hits in 84.2 IP this year as a senior.
       10.29 ERA in 28 innings as a junior after two years at JuCo.
       Kennesaw player bio
       19 (591): Kevin Vance, RHP, 6-0, 205, Connecticut
       Vance is another reliever in the White Sox draft
       class. 1.57 ERA, 31 K, 6 BB, 13 H in 28.2 IP. The junior is the
       closer on the UConn team that won the Clemson Regional last
       weekend. Low 90s fastball, but inconsistent velocity. BA says
       good curve and decent change. 19:5 K:BB in 18 IP with a 0.50 ERA
       in the Cape Cod League last summer. UConn player bio
       20 (621): Martin Medina, C/1B, R/R, 6-0, 195, Cal State
       Bakersfield
       Hit .287/.362/.478 with 26 BB, 37 K and 9 HR in 209
       AB. The junior also pitched and struck out 45 in 33.2 IP this
       year out of the bullpen. Bakersfield player bio
       21 (651): Joe De Pinto, 2B, R/R, 6-1, 190, USC
       The senior hit .300/.409/.379 with 9 steals this
       spring. Similar numbers throughout his career. USC player bio
       22 (681): Blake Drake, RHP, 6-7, 195, Indiana St.
       The Sox probably got some looks at Drake when
       scouting Jacob Petricka last year. The senior made four starts
       and 22 relief appearances as a senior. He struck out 37, walked
       21 and allowed 50 hits in 49 innings for a 4.78 ERA. BA ranks
       him the No. 15 draft eligible prospect in the state of Indiana.
       Indiana State player bio
       23 (711): Mike Marjama, C, R/R, 6-2, 205, Long Beach St.
       This is the fourth catcher the Sox have drafted.
       Hit .290/.329/.378 as a junior after two years at JuCo. BA rates
       him as the No. 99 prospect in Southern California. LBSU player
       bio

       Well, that's not something you really talk about, you know...

       Evil minds think differently. I am talking about baseball
       players who bat from both sides of the plate.
