Instead of me using all the scouting reports from around the league, I thought I'd gather them up here from the various expert sources and provide them in one location for all to view.
So, here's the part I...coming from Marc Bowman of Braves.com who provides capsules on the first day's selections for Atlanta.
Cody Johnson, OF, first round: The youngest of the draft's first 125 selections, Johnson was named Florida's 5A state Player of the Year this year and last summer was named the MVP. He hit .525 with 15 homers during his senior season at A. Crawford Mosley High School.
Cory Rasmus, RHP, sandwich pick, 38th selection: Although his fastball has touched 97 mph, Clark thinks his slider and changeup make him more than just a power pitcher. A competitive athlete, he was Phenix City's catcher when it advanced to the 1999 Little League World Series. His brother was selected in the first round by the Cardinals last year.
Steven Evarts, LHP, sandwich pick, 43rd selection: His 6-foot-4 frame has allowed him to draw comparisons to Steve Avery. The 18-year-old from Tampa's Robinson High has a fastball has been clocked at 93 and he has shown some improvement with his curveball.
Jeffrey Locke, LHP, second round: Pitching in New Hampshire, Locke isn't as advanced as many other high school pitchers. But his 94 mph fastball has led some to compare him to Billy Wagner. The Braves believe he has a real high ceiling.
Dustin Evans, RHP, second round: He overcame arm problems during his senior season at Georgia Southern, and there are some who compare his lively fastball to Blaine Boyer's. "Moneyball" guys would shy away from his stats. But the Braves love his stuff.
Chase Fontaine, SS, second round Not the picture-perfect shortstop. But the Braves will keep him there and have said that he reminds them of a young Chase Utley. Clark said Fontaine was the best offensive player at the junior-college level this year.
Chad Rodgers, LHP, third round: He wrapped an undefeated scholastic career at Walsh Jesuit High with a state championship in Ohio on Monday. The Braves love his competitive makeup and were surprised to see him available with the draft's 100th selection.
Lee Hyde, LHP, fourth round: This past weekend, Clark saw Hyde outpitch David Price, the possible top overall selection in next year's draft. The Braves believe this Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket was the top relief prospect available at the collegiate level.
Kevin Gunderson, LHP, fifth round: Clark believes Gunderson has a chance to be a top left-handed setup man for many years at the big-league level. He has had an impressive career at Oregon State.
Steven Figueroa, RHP, sixth round: This high school product has been targeted as a reliever. He caught the Braves' attention with his aggressive style and lively fastball.
Adam Coe, 3B, seventh round: He possesses top-notch power, which he displayed a few weeks ago during a workout at Turner Field.
Casey Beck, RHP, eighth round: He displayed a 97 mph fastball at San Jacinto and was thought to be the best reliever at the junior-college level.
Timothy Gustafson, RHP, ninth round: Shoulder problems plagued him at Georgia Tech this year. But the Braves believe he's healthy and has the chance to be a top-notch reliever.
Josh Morris, 1B, 12th round: He is in his junior season at Georgia and already owns the school's all-time home run record. The Braves feel good about their chances of signing him.
