    View Draft Report
    Based on talent alone, SS/RHP Juan Carlos Portes would go in the first 10 rounds, but the tools-laden athlete remains a wild card. He did not play high school baseball last year and because he temporarily moved back to the Dominican Republic, he wasn't eligible for the 2003 draft. Portes never played high school ball again this spring, but was scheduled to work out for area scouts before the draft. He has impressive tools but lacks the skills to put them to use at this point. He has fluid actions at short, with average range and arm strength, while at the plate he has good bat speed and gap power.
