Here's what it says about each of them.
"38. Michael Bowden RHP Sr. R-R 6-3 210 Waubonsie Valley HS Aurora, Ill.
"Has impressed with consistent velocity and advanced changeup"


"163. Mike Broadway RHP Sr. R-R 6-5 190 Pope County HS Golconda, Ill. Total package has scouts predicting mid-90s velocity."

Rosy. Where is Dennehy on that list?
and...what do they say about him? thanks.

sox, Bowden & Broadway are only Il kids on the list. A scout I spoke with a few weeks ago felt Dennehy hadn't thrown well enough this Spring to be in upper echelon but wasn't sure where he would land in draft.

does it say anything about rick zagone

Nothing about Zagone.

I subscribe to Baseball America but I don't think a subscription is needed to view this particular information. Here is a link to Baseball America's top 200 draft prospects:

Just 2 boys from Illinois in the BA top 200. The next closest would be Josh Lindblom from West Lafayette, Ind. He is the 54th overall pick and about the 25th pitcher.

Just spotted one more local boy. Brian Bogusevic, lefty pitcher attending Tulane and from Oak Lawn is listed 19th overall and the 9th best pitcher, just after Wade Townsend.

Also noticed Cesar Carrillo 21st pitcher from Miami via Mt Carmel

Soxnole, You have a PM.

Whose the #1 Prospect? Where is he from? What position?

1. Justin Upton SS Sr. R-R 6-2 187 Great Bridge HS Chesapeake, Va.
Scouts believe his hitting potential rivals that of brother B.J.

How hard does he throw?

94... from SS to First. He also runs sub 6.4.

He ran a 6.23 60 that perfect game said was the fastest they have ever recorded. Some expect him to be moved to center.

does anyone have an idea about pat mcmahon's draft status? he's a junior that played for carmel and hit .400 this year for nortwestern.

midwest...

Went to their website:

1) He's a catcher...that is a plus;
2) All Big Ten...plus;
3) Going to be 23 in the fall...negative;
4) Someone will have to buy him out of a year at Northwestern (would have to be around $40,000.00)...negative;

Didn't find his name in Baseball America's Top 200....Which likely means lower rounds...

Pick 'em.

Congratulations to Michael Bowden who was just selected in the supplemental first round by the Boston Red Sox. Best of luck.

Congrats Michael.

Mike Broadway was just taken by the Braves in the fourth round with the 137 pick of the draft. Congrats to Broadway... he is going to an organization with a great history of turning high school pitchers into top MLB pitchers.

Josh Flores formerly from Lincolnway Central
and currently at Triton CC taken by Astros
#134. Congrats to our under rated IL boys!!

Friend of mine Eric Barrett went in the 17th round to Cleveland but from what I have heard on him he is going to play in college for a year at JALC and then re-enter the draft where he will got top 10 rounds for sure. A lot of locals have predicted a top 5 round selection in next years draft.

catcher, talk only when you know what you are talking about.
