Deven Marrero is one of those guys with unquestionable defense, but has a bat
that will need some developing in order for him to make it to the majors. He
has good instincts in the infield, with moderate speed that allows him to
have good range at the position. He's a relatively safe pick with his defense
only needing a bit more focus in avoiding silly errors, and his bat isn't far
off. All he really needs to do is focus on pitch selection and improve his
knowledge of the strikezone. He doesn't project to hit for much power as a
pro, but is expected to hit for doubles and average with his line-drive swing
that doesn't have much lift.

In his past 3 seasons at Arizona State, he's hit .397, .319, and .279
respectively from his freshman year to his junior year. He generally has
struck out 1/8th of his plate appearances, and walked only around 20 times
each season in about 200 plate appearances. This year he has 11 doubles, 3
triples, and 4 homers in 208 at-bats.

Floor:

If his bat never comes around, he could end up like Wladimir Sutil who was in
the Astros farm system last year; A guy with good defense, but not the bat to
take him to the next level.

Ceiling:

At his peak, he could be a .300 hitter with 10-15 homers and gold-glove
defense at SS. But probably profiles as an average SS with not a lot of power.


Will he sign?

As a Junior in college, there's a chance he could go back to play his senior
year. But with 3 years under his belt already and a chance to go early in the
first round, he'll most likely sign.

#031 Brian Johnson

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/#list=draft

Brian Johnson Rank: 36 Florida, Junior
Height: 6'3", Weight: 225
Position: LHP
DOB: 12/07/1990
Bats: L, Throws: L
Previous: '09, 27th (817), LAD

Johnson is a two-way player who could be drafted as a first baseman with some
pop but is much more widely seen as a left-handed pitcher.

He's an off-speed guy who'll pitch with an average fastball at 88-92 and
throws a lot of breaking balls, mostly an above-average big-breaking curve
with a two-plane break and tight, visible rotation; he prefers it to his
above-average changeup even in conventional changeup counts. The change at
80-84 is solid but not plus, coming out of his hand just like his fastball.
He has a show-me slider that he'd be better off scrapping if it doesn't get
better. He doesn't have life on his fastball, but commands it well to both
sides of the plate.

Johnson is very balanced over the rubber and all through his delivery, with a
clean and fairly low-effort arm swing. He's a pretty high-probability,
low-projection guy who should be in the middle of someone's rotation inside
of two years, and could be in the majors in 12 months because minor league
hitters won't do much with his off-speed stuff.

#037 Pat Light

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/#list=draft

Pat Light Rank: 54 Monmouth, Junior
Height: 6'6", Weight: 215
Position: RHP
DOB: 03/29/1991
Bats: R, Throws: R
Previous: '09, 28th (852), MIN

Pat Light’s sturdy, 6’6” frame draws attention by itself, and he saw his
stock shoot up the charts when he touched 96 mph earlier this spring.
However, the right-hander struggles to carry his velocity deep into games
and often catches too much plate due to lack of movement.

Light also features an above-average slider and changeup that are borderline
show-me pitches at the moment and often ineffective due to a varying and
inconsistent arm slot. Still, he’s shown improved command of each of his
pitches this season, which aids his projection as a starter rather than a
reliever.

With an enormous but still projectable frame and plus fastball, it’s hard
not to compare the right-hander to the Marlins’ Josh Johnson—though the
comparison is less accurate when considering their respective secondary
offerings. If Light progresses his way through the minors as a starter, he
has the potential to make his debut in mid-to-late 2015.

Pick Analysis:

The Red Sox add a big body pitcher who has the frame to fill out. Fastball
tops out in the mid-90s, with an impressive breaking ball to match.
