A kid I wouldn't mind (if he's still there at 125):
Trace Loehr (5-10/175) HS SS
Left-handed-hitting middle infielders are always a hot commodity, and Loehr seemed to be cementing his place in the top three rounds as the Draft approached. Oregon State always does a good job of recruiting in its own backyard, finding solid, hard-nosed players to commit. Loehr definitely fits that description, getting very high marks for his intensity and hustle. He has some outstanding tools to go along with his plus makeup, especially his above-average bat that sprays line drives all over the field. Loehr has excellent speed, which helps him as a basestealing threat and in covering ground on the infield. He has the instincts, range and hands to play shortstop with an average arm, though some think he might be best suited for second base. There is little question, however, that Loehr can stay up the middle and develop into an exciting top-of-the-order table-setter in the future.
