    Nickerson has four fringe-average pitchess: fastball, cutter, curveball and changeup. He has control of his entire arsenal, though his walk rate was up and he'd been more hittable in 2006 than he was as a sophomore. Nickerson pitches smart and has a plan, which should at least get him through A-ball. His positive exposure with Team USA last summer should get him off the board in the first 10 rounds.
