Righthander Jake Shafer impressed scouts in the fall by throwing 92-93 mph, but he didn't repeat that velocity this spring. He worked at 89-91 mph, showed little command and missed time with shoulder discomfort. Scouts aren't sure what to make of the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder. Shafer's younger brother Aaron is a Wichita State righthander projected to go in the first round of the 2008 draft.
