Boston Red Sox welcome:
Full Name: Xavier T. Avery Born: 01/01/1990 Birthplace: Decatur, GA Height: 5' 11" Weight: 180 Bats: L Throws: L
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Avery has gained comparisons to Tampa Bay all-star outfielder Carl Crawford for his athletic ability and baseball skills. He is the fastest player in the 2008 draft class, having run a 6.18 over 60 yards at Perfect Game’s National Showcase in Cincinnati last June. A lefthanded hitter like Crawford, Avery has surprising power in his bat and should rack up impressive extra-base hit totals, especially triples, as his offensive game develops. He hit .667 with three homers and 49 stolen bases in 49 attempts as a high school junior. Avery is also an acclaimed football player, picking up more than 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving as a junior, although he was more highly recruited as a cornerback. He committed to Georgia for football, though baseball remains at the forefront of his future plans. Avery played for the East Cobb Astros last summer. Athleticism runs in the Avery family as his father played Division I basketball and his brother D-I football. He was a 2007 Aflac All-American.—DAVID RAWNSLEY UPDATE (5/1): Avery hit .561-8-24 with 35 stolen bases this spring, but did not separate himself from two other very athletically-gifted Georgia high school outfielders, Zach Cone and Jay Austin, although in fairness Avery played at a low level of high school baseball and his evaluation should be based on what he’s shown in the summers, which is considerable. His commitment to Georgia for football rather than baseball further complicates matters, however. Avery will be a wild card on draft day.—DR
into the fold.

The Cubs asked me to select for him CF Cutter Dykstra of the Brewers organization.
Good pick, too, I might add. What is he still doing here? #2 prospect in the Pioneer League, drafted in the 2nd round.....

I had it down to Cutter or Avery. Had to go with the Crawford comp even though I really liked CD too.

The Reds are in Florida for the week and asked me to take OF Kyle Russell of the Dodgers org. for him.
And since I'm up right after, I'm doing it for the second year in a row and drafting RP Cole St. Clair also of the Dodgers org if I'm not mistaken.

Argggh....is anyone going to pick any more? I'm getting impatient for my pick, and the draft has all but ground to a halt! Maybe people should send in a list for the 5th round, or do it in groups of 10 or something.

Orioles Select:
Lance Lynn, RHP, Grade C+: Polished college pitcher, could rank much higher once we see him against better hitters.
