Bah. You can train that. Witness Stubbs' terrible baserunning year in Dayton, then his vast improvement at higher levels.

James Paxton would be a great pick at #94.

LaMarre, who still has a year of eligibility remaining at U-M, is known for his speed and outstanding bat, after hitting .419 this season at U-M, despite missing the first third of the seasons with a broken thumb.
