Q: James from Mississippi asks:
Is anyone going to be able to beat Ole miss this year? Is Cody Satterwhite a top of the 1st round pick and same question for lance Lynn? Thanks
A:
Aaron Fitt: There are three teams that I see as the class of the SEC in 2008 — Ole Miss, Vandy and South Carolina. Of that group, the Rebels have far and away the best pitching, led by Lynn and Satterwhite, two legit power righties who could both go in the first round. I'll be very curious to see how Satterwhite fares in the rotation this year after closing for most of his first two collegiate seasons, but his arm strength is probably the best in the nation. He just needs to command his stuff better. Lynn hasn't demonstrated as much raw stuff, but he's still a power pitcher with better command and an outstanding track record. If Satterwhite puts it all together this spring, he could be a top-10 pick, but he could also slip into the end of the first round or the second. I think Lynn's likely to go in the 20s somewhere.
Q: Colin from Philly asks:
Being from the Philadelphia I dont get to see a whole lot of big time college baseball who are the top 5 prospects for the upcoming draft?
A:
Aaron Fitt: We released our top 100 college prospects this fall, but my pick for the top five as of right now are Pedro Alvarez of Vandy, Aaron Crow of Missouri, Brian Matusz of San Diego, Justin Smoak of South Carolina and Brett Hunter of Pepperdine. Hunter had a sensational fall, showing even more velocity than he has in the past.
I know most on here already knew both of these, but I thought some might find it interesting.
