2011 DRAFT: - Barret Loux, Bubba Starling, Jed Bradley, Ryne Dean... and George Springer

Barret Loux:



link  - Barret Loux, the sixth overall pick in the 2010 draft that was later declared a free agent by MLB, threw an extended bullpen session for approximately 15 teams in College Station, Texas today according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. The Astros were one of the teams in attendance, and have sincere interest in signing the righthander. Loux, 21, failed his physical with the Diamondbacks due to shoulder and elbow concerns, and has been free to sign with any team since September 1st. Things have been relatively quiet, however. McTaggart spoke to Houston's assistant general manager/scouting director Bobby Heck, who indicated that Loux's performance today was "pretty consistent" with how he looked this spring, good news considering the medical scare.



Bubba Starling:


9-17-10 from: - link  - To call Bubba Starling multi-talented would be an understatement. He's one of the top prospects for the 2011 draft thanks to his five-tool ability in the outfield, but he also owns a low-90s fastball on the mound and has been a highly coveted quarterback recruit. As he enters his senior year of high school, Starling knows he has some tough decisions ahead



Jed Bradley:


9-17-10 from: - link  - Kyle Tait of RamblinWreck.com recently had a chance to set down with Georgia Tech lefthander pitcher Jed Bradley. He was recently named the fourth best pro prospect in the Cape Cod Baseball League this summer. He ended up starting six games with a 2-3 overall record while having an ERA of 1.98. He did have 44 strikeouts in only 41 innings pitched. You can check out the full interview with Bradely previewing fall practice and the upcoming 2011 season below.

George Springer:


9-11-10 from: - link  - Baseball America, considered by many to be the bible of amateur baseball, every season ranks the top 30 prospects who performed in the Cape Cod Baseball League.
