| We’ll begin our extensive 2007 draft preview of every state on Wednesday, beginning with Perfect Game’s David Rawnsley’s coverage of Florida and Puerto Rico. He’ll preview the top 120 prospects in Florida and top 25 prospects in Puerto Rico, complete with scouting reports on each player. The bulk of the coverage will be available on PG Crosschecker’s Insider level, but we thought we would give you a sneak preview of how David ranked the top 10 prospects in Florida—and their projected draft range. |
