MLB Amateur Draft 2008: My Draft Board + Pedro Alvarez Scouting Report

With the MLB amateur draft approaching, I thought it would be a good time to start profiling some of the young talent that may be coming to a team near you. Generally speaking, this draft does not have a consensus top prospect, like a Justin Upton or David Price, so it's anyone's guess who the top pick will be and the Tampa Bay Rays are thought to be deciding between Buster Posey, Tim Beckham and Pedro Alvarez. I'm going to provide my draft board, based on talent and my projections for the players, followed by a profile of the top talent in the draft, as I see it: Vanderbilt's Pedro Alvarez.
