7.245: David Otterman, LHP, British Columbia University â€" The Brewers have had much success in drafting players north of the border, and Otterman could be another steal. His 6'3", 215-pound frame portends he could be a power-type lefty out of the bullpen.
8.275: Edgardo Rivera, CF, Adolfina Irizarry De Puig HS â€" Though still very raw and a bit undersized, Rivera has deadly speed that he applies on the bases and in the field. Once he develops his hitting, his ceiling will be tremendously high.
9.305: Alejandro Lavandero, RHP, Belen Jesuit High School â€" The 6'3", 180-pound Miami native has a prototype build to him that scouts like. His delivery will need some cleaning up and refinement of his pitches will be key.
10.335: Anthony Banda, LHP, San Jacinto College North (Texas) â€" The young southpaw has grown into his current 6'3", 175-pound frame noticeably in each of the past two years. If he continues, who knows how high his ceiling could be.
11.365: James Gainey, RHP, United States Naval Academy (Md.) â€" Gainey works over the top through a very smooth delivery on the bump. Doesn't throw enough of his body into his pitches yet, so I think there's some projectability to his fastball.
12.395: Eric Semmelhack, RHP, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee â€" A Wisconsin native, Semmelhack has a very nice pitcher's build (6'5", 230) comparable to current Brewers prospect Jimmy Nelson.
13.425: Alan Sharkey, 1B, Coral Springs HS (Fla.) â€" The slightly undersized first baseman managed a .435/.562/.710 slash line as a high school senior in the highly competitive Florida prep ranks.
14.455: Ryan Gibbard, RHP, Lynn University (Fla.) â€" A power pitcher's body at 6'2", 205, Gibbard works slowly and uses an almost effortless motion on the mound. His fastball has some projection, currently topping out in the low 90s.
15.485: Buck Farmer, RHP, Georgia Tech â€" The 6'4", 220 pounder has done a magnificent job for the Yellow Jackets this season and was at one point projected to be a second-round pick. An absolute steal for Melvin and company.
