Texas Tech's Barret Barnes is a top draft follow and worth tuning in for.
Preston Tucker doesn't really profile as an early round selection, despite his rankings at Baseball America.
Also note, Tucker will likely spend a lot of time in RF this spring, and doesn't profile to 1B as a pro. Most likely a LF.
And since I didn't say it before, nice summary of the players to watch, Jeremy. Appreciated.
Thanks Nick, it was kind of a last minute thing so I didn't have the time to look into guys as much as I wanted. I'll be a bit more thorough with next weekend's listings. I'll be sure to add Barnes to my list too thanks!
