    View Draft Report
    At 6-foot-3 and 216 pounds, Christian Colonel has one of the best bodies among the draft's shortstop prospects. A ninth-round pick by the Mets out of the JC of Southern Idaho in 2002, he has sure hands and a strong arm. Big 12 observers weren't impressed by his bat, which was helped by Texas Tech's hitter-friendly Dan Law Field, though he did make good contact and showed a little power.
