    RHP Jim Brauer will get drafted for the fourth time after not signing with the Mets as a fifth-year senior draft-and-follow. New York took him in the 42nd round last June, the Rockies drafted him in the 17th round in 2003 and the Expos selected him in the 29th round out of high school in 2000. Brauer has consistently pitched well in the Cape Cod League, earning all-star honors in 2001 and 2003 and tossing a no-hitter in 2002, but until 2005 he never had a big season for the Wolverines. He made just one start in 2003 because of a sore arm and was inconsistent in his return last year. Brauer stepped up in 2005, however, earning Big 10 Conference pitcher-of-the-year honors. One area scout says his stuff is better than Aaron Heilman's when Heilman went in the first round as a Notre Dame senior in 2001. Brauer throws strikes with a low-90s sinker and a slider.
