Here’s a comment by John Manuel @ BA’s blog today …
Tennessee third baseman Chase Headley and Winthrop righthander Kevin Slowey are two players most likely to be drafted higher than most scouts would expect because of their statistics. Headley, a transfer from University of the Pacific, ranked among the national leaders in walks all season and finished with 60, good for third nationally. Headley had six hits in 11 at-bats over the weekend as Tennessee won a regional and is hitting .387/.534/.694 with 13 home runs and 63 RBIs. He’s at least adequate defensively at third base, and scouts like that he’s shown significant improvement over the course of his career, working hard to be a better defender and to learn to hit for more power.
