    OF Matt VanDerBosch may be undersized at 5-foot-8, but he plays big. His plus-plus speed is his best tool, and his instincts make him even more effective on the bases. He has a knack for drawing walks and surprising power for his size. Defensively, he plays a decent center field and saw time at second base as a junior in 2003. He's the nephew of 1979 American League rookie of the year John Castino.
