    Osborn was a hot prospect coming out of high school, though he lasted until the 22nd round in 1999 because he told teams he definitely wanted to attend Florida. His first two years were notable more for his injuries than his production, and he has had surgery to repair labrum tears in both his shoulders. Osborn has bounced back significantly as a junior, batting .410-13-56 in the regular season. He has the body (6-foot-3, 207 pounds), swing and glove to make it as a pro, and he projects to have solid power. His arm strength still hasn't returned and is well below average, but it was solid in the past. For all Osborn's attributes, scouts still say something seems to be missing from the overall package. Some see him moving to left field as a pro. He could go anywhere from the third to seventh round.
