    Durbin's size also gets held against him, as he's only 6 feet tall as well. But after he was passed over entirely in the 2002 draft, he responded with a career-high 17 homers in the regular season. Now he projects as high as the third round, and not just because he's a senior sign. Power was the question about Durbin, who showed few other weaknesses. He's a leadoff man with on-base ability and speed, and he's an excellent center fielder with a very strong arm.
