The general overall feeling about the 2011 draft in Southern California is that this is a down year. Certainly this is not a new sentiment and it’s been known around these parts for a while. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that every player who could have played in the showcase event at the Urban Youth Academy was here Saturday, either. There are certainly players that warranted consideration and probably some who didn’t need the exposure. But I will say this – this is a draft better geared for three years from now. There are very few players who can show you a “5” tool right now, a major league average skill. That means in some bodies you will see strength.

Continuing our sneak peak at the 2011 MLB Draft here in September, eight months before the draft, here is the first look at infielders. We’ve divided up the prospects by first basemen, third basemen and middle infielders. As we said in our 2010 High School Pitchers Draft Prospect List, always take follow-lists with a grain of salt simply because of the nature of baseball. Some will rise, some will fall, and some will come out of nowhere, guys who should be here, that we haven’t seen or heard of yet.
