    Scouts are becoming a bit jaded about righthander Daniel McCutchen, who turned down the Yankees as a 47th-round pick out of Grayson County (Texas) Community College in 2003, the Devil Rays as a 29th-rounder in 2004 and the Cardinals as a 12th-rounder in 2005. St. Louis still controls his rights because he's a fifth-year senior, but his season at Oklahoma may not end in time for him to sign. While McCutchen can reach 95 with his fastball, he's most effective when he works at 90-91 mph with increased sink. His curveball has become a reliable second pitch and he has a decent changeup that he doesn't use often. After battling elbow problems at Grayson County, he has stayed healthy in three years with the Sooners.
