    View Draft Report
    Danny Lehmann is one of the draft's top defensive catchers--he has thrown out 50 percent of basestealers in 2007--and has handled several quality pitchers at Rice. But he's too pull-conscious at the plate and never has hit better than .285 in three college seasons, so he may not be more than a big league backup. He's also going to be tough to sign if he doesn't go in the first five rounds. Lehmann's uncle, Duane Chapman, is the star of the reality TV show, "Dog The Bounty Hunter."
