Re: Three Tigers among Top-100 College Prospects for 2011 Major League Draft

Miller has been on scouts radars since his days with the AAU Team Chet Lemons "Juice"
While his college error % is not fantastic they know his potential, and some scouts have him listed at the top of their board for the SS position. It was no mistake he was on both USA Teams, look at who is on that list and who was on those teams, most of the top 10 were apart of Team USA at one point or another. A good fielding year, % wise, (anybody who watches him play knows he can make any play on the field, but its the routine ones that are the problem) and a hitting year like last will put him in the top 2 rounds easy
Hinson, boy what a pure hitter that kid is. Swing is as fluid as it gets, with so much power out of his wirery frame. I am not sure where he ends up on the field but his bat will warrant him looks in the top end of the draft. He is not an exceptional fielder, with an average arm, but the kid is a flat out baseball player with plus speed and a plus bat. There is a place for him somewhere.
Lamb: What will Lamb end up being? Whatever it is it will probably differ from his role in College. Lamb has been the ultimate utility player in his first two years at Clemson. 1st base, OF(RF,CF,LF), reliever, starter. Plus speed, plus arm, plus glove, good bat, good head on his shoulders. This year I think he ends up in the outfield (starting CF, or he is under utilized) and I could see him in a closer, late ending role, similar to what Cal did with Ramirez who played first base and came into close, or what FSU did with McGee bringing him in from the outfield to close. *MOSTLY* a Mid 90's lefty most scouts see him ending up on the mound, rather then at the plate.
Some people might see a glaring weakness on this list and that is Jeff Schaus and I am a *little* intrigued as to why he isnt on this list. He has produced at the plate for 3 years with good power and contact numbers. His SO to BB ratio is good, and I dont think it is the hitting keeping him off this list. Where does he go in the field? Can he cover enough ground in the OF? He doesnt project anywhere in the infield and that makes him a utility hitter with a small niche. He could play some back up outfield for a club. I think for his final year at Clemson he will end up in LF, though I would rather see him in right.
