    Southern has a pair of righthanders, Baron Short and Jeff McCollum, who have good size and reach 93 mph with their fastballs. But both have little in the way of a breaking ball or a feel for pitching, so they'll be long-term projects. Short has the better body at 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, but he went 1-3, 9.17 against inferior competition this spring.
