If you watch any of the College World Series, a guy to watch is Jackie Bradley Jr. of South Carolina. He has a 19-game hitting streak, more walks than Ks and 13 HR. Almost seems like a Figgins (good version of Figgins) with more power. Anyway, he'll be in the top 10 or so of the draft next year and the Ms probably will be picking there. Plays CF and expected to stick there, and also has a great arm. Regardless, he's fun to watch.
Also, the Ms winning streak probably puts him out of reach (as he will certainly be a top-5 pick), but UCLA pitcher Gerrit Cole will get one or two more starts after fanning 13 in 8.0 IP his first time around.
And, TCU pitcher Matt Purke is also fun to watch. He was a first-round pick who didn't sign with the Rangers, so I don't think he's back in the draft until 2012. Purke should be pitching this afternoon's game.
