Lucas Duda
2005: 16 for 77, 7 runs, 4 2b, HR, 11 RBI, 9/18 BB/K, .208/.290/.298
2006: 57 for 191, 37 runs, 8 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 36 RBI, 4/6 SBs, 28/34 BB/K, .298/.391/.398

Round 8, Pick 273: Daniel McDonald
Daniel McDonald (RHP - Seton Hall University)
Here is how McDonald sees/describes himself:
He throws a 2 and 4 seamer, along with a slider and change. His 4 seamer can reach 94, and it is his primary pitch. He feels he needs to work on his slider, and get better command on all 3 pitches. Due to his small stature, he compares himself to Pedro Martinez.
2007: 2-2, 3.37 era, 26 G, 34.2 IP, 23 H, 19 BBs, 39 Ks, BAA .193
---------------------
Round 9, Pick 303: Michael Olmstead
Michael Olmstead (RHP - Cypress College)
Here is how Olmstead sees/describes himself:
His fastball sits 90-93 as a reliever, and 88-92 as a starter. He also throws a slider, curveball and changeup. His changeup is in a developmental stage, while his curveball is a pitch he can throw at anytime. He feels his best secondary pitch varies nightly, between his curve and slider. Olmstead's pitching coach used to be Trevor Hoffman's pitching coach, so Olmstead uses the same grip on his changeup as Hoffman. He would most compare himself, however, to John Lackey.
2007: 9-4, 4.19 era, 24 G, 7 GS, 73 IP, 80 H, 24 BBs, 63 Ks, BAA .280

---------------------
Round 11, Pick 363: Matthew Bouchard
Matthew Bouchard (SS - Georgetown University)
2007: .329/.378/.475, 72 for 219, 33 runs, 12 2b, 3b, 6 HR, 41 RBI, 19/28 BB/K, 16/22 SBs
---------------------
Round 12, Pick 393: William Morgan
William Morgan (RHP - Lewis & Clark State College)
Morgan features a low 90s fastball, a good slider, and a developing changeup. He calls his slider his best pitch, followed by his fastball, then his change.
2007: 5-1, 1.46 era, 23 G, GS, 67.2 IP, 41 H, 17 BBs, 78 Ks, BAA .177
