    OF Jeremy Pickrel whetted scouts' appetites with a strong summer in the Central Illinois Collegiate League last year, then fell off as a junior. He struck out 73 times (one off the NCAA Division I lead) in 153 at-bats after fanning 77 times in 290 at-bats over his first two seasons. Scouts say he spread out his stance too much and stopped using his lower half in his swing. But they still like his 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame, his raw power and his athleticism.
