Based on post-draft enthusiasm.
Kevin Cron.  His brother was maybe the best all-around power hitter in college, and he appears to be bigger, stronger and maybe even a better hitter.  Major upside.  And G likes him enough to interrupt his vacation to send along a youtube vid.  Hope they can sign him away from TCU.
Danny Hultzen.  The Glavine comp makes sense.  Not necessarily a glamour guy, but a guy who can be a huge part of making a good team into a winner. 
Tyler Marlette.  If he signs, he looks like the complete package at catcher, and the collective Clement/Moore/Johnson faceplant leaves us lacking there.
Brad Miller.  Actually has some Ackley-like numbers.  77 hits, 40 walks (vs. 34 K) and 21 SB in 56 games.  Top-20 nationally in OBP at .498 (Rendon was 5th; C.J. Cron 7th; Miller 17th).  If he can stick at SS, he brings a lot to the table.
Cavan Cohoes.  His intriguing youtube has been removed, but, if you saw it, you could see that the kid's a great athlete.  Runs a 4.33 40 (reportedly) and clocked at 94 throwing (reportedly) and was one of the best high school tennis players in Europe as a sophomore.  Not Bubba Starling, but a very interesting and less expensive alternative.
