48 Cubs Donaldson, Joshua Auburn UCR/R6'00"195 1985-12-08400K

Comments: Donaldson really helped himself with a strong Cape Cod season last summer, but there are concerns about whether he'll be able to catch up to better velocities with the loop in his swing. He may improve with more experience as a full-time catcher, but his arm is below average and he does not profile as a premium catch-and-throw guy. Some see a switch to the infield -- he's played third in college -- but he may make for a good backup catcher who plays the game the right way.

60 Detroit Hamilton, Joey Stanhope Elmore HS RHP R/R 6'02"205 1988-12-25HS400K

Comments: Hamilton's pure stuff and ability to pitch are there, and that kept scouts coming all year. But he didn't always show he knew how to deal with adversity on the mound and wasn't always aggressive enough. His inconsistencies all year will keep him from going as highly as his size and stuff might dictate, but teams will perhaps be intrigued by his power arm after the first round.

84 Boston Morris, Jeffrey Virgil I Grissom HS 3B L/R 6'02"200 1988-10-07HS400K
Comments: Morris has put up some ridiculous numbers as a high school outfielder and he does have some pretty legitimate raw power from the left side, a commodity often in high demand. The rest of his game is behind the pop, with his overall approach at the plate needing some work and his defense average at best. Some see him as a fourth outfielder at the next level, but someone is sure to take a chance on his power potential.

Comments: A perfect example of the high risk/high reward toolsy athlete, Davis does have all five tools, even if they are raw. In some ways, he showed better over the summer at showcases with wood bats than he has during this season. Whether that hurts or helps him remains to be seen.

504 Bailey, Austin Prattville HS RHP S/R 6'01"195 1988-10-10 HS 400K

Comments: There are some interesting parts there, with two promising pitches in a fastball that has been clocked as high as 94 mph and a curve that at times has shown above-average potential. He doesn't have much of a changeup, something scouts would like to have seen in order to consider taking him in the early stages of the draft.

Comments: Patterson is a kind of all-or-nothing, hit-or-miss kind of guy. When he can get his arms extended, he's got tremendous power. But he also has some holes in his swing and sometimes tries to work counts too much at the plate, leaving some concerned about his overall hittability. He'll never be drafted for his glove. If he hits for power, he could be a star in the future. He does have a very strong commitment to Auburn and is considered a tough sign.

By UofA Media Relations

Posted Jun 25, 2007

TAMPA, Fla. -- Former University of Alabama All-American Dustan Mohr (Hattiesburg, Miss.) has been promoted to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Mohr, who was promoted from Class AAA Durham (N.C.) Bulls on Saturday, June 23, made his Devil Rays debut on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Tropicana Field in Tampa.


Dustan Mohr joins Lance Cormier (Atlanta), Andy Phillips (New York Yankees) and Taylor Tankersley (Florida) as former Alabama players currently in Major League Baseball.
Mohr played 58 games at Durham and batted .229 (46-for-201) with nine home runs and 46 RBI before his promotion. Mohr has played in 498 career Major League games since making his debut with the Minnesota Twins during the 2001 season. Overall, he is a .249 (338-for-1,335) hitter with 48 home runs and 154 RBI in his six-year career. Mohr has played with the Twins (2001-03), San Francisco Giants (2004), Colorado Rockies (2005) and Boston Red Sox (2006) during his Major League career. In three years at Alabama (1995-97), Mohr played in 200 games and batted .312 (233-for-747) with 47 home runs and 178 RBI en route to All-America and All-SEC accolades. Mohr still ranks among the UA career leaders in home runs (4th), total bases (6th), starts (8th), doubles (9th), RBI (9th) and sacrifice flies (9th).
