1. AROM Posted: February 06, 2012 at 02:39 PM (#4054748)#70 is high school OF Skye Bolt. If he's not the fastest player in the draft, then something is seriously wrong with the world.

Right on all four.
Johnson's big, he's left-handed and he throws pretty hard. So it's not shocking to see him well-regarded. But "top 10 in the draft" well-regarded is a little odd.
That's because they're girls!
Seriously. I'm a little aghast to see the hometown and alma mater in that list.
Try to see, of all teams, Duke. Seeing Marcus Stroman, a short, muscular, defensive back/middle infielder looking dude, throw some insane gas is quite the experience.
Kind of a boring year to have those teams as your ACC options. GT and FSU always have talent but their 2012 squads are significantly less exciting than their teams usually are.
Seems the talent is down this year compared to some of the recent drafts, though.
As interesting as the concept of two players from the same high school, two top 10 picks from the same college and it is NOT a traditional powerhouse. Victor Roache might be a bust because he hasn't faced a lot of great competition. But he has a very intriguing upside and could hit for mammoth power.
