KLaw posted his Top 60 Prospects for the 2009 draft (sorry, subscription req’d). Strasburg is a true 1/1 talent, but there’s a considerable drop off after that. I love me some Kyle Gibson though, you’ll be hearing more of that name before the draft.
In more draft related news, sandwich pick Jeremy Bleich will make his professional debut for the Staten Island Yanks tomorrow. The game starts at 1pm.
