Scouting the 2009 MLB First Year Players Draft

I had a chance to trade a few e-mails with Jim Callis of BaseballAmerica. We discussed the possibility of several Texas State players being selected in the 2009 draft.

He said "guys are high on Goldschmidt's bat" and he's expecting him to "fall in somewhere around the 6th-10th round." Goldschmidt led the Bobcats in home runs and RBIs last season with 18 and 88, respectively.

Callis said Theriot's chances aren't as good, even though he came on strong late in the season. Scouts "aren't as high on Theriot" and expect him to be selected in the "very late rounds."

No mention of Kane Holbrooks, Spenser Dennis or Lance Loftin.
