    Outfielder Demetrius McKelvie, a Marshall recruit, and shortstop Cody Stubbs, a Tennessee signee, both moved up draft boards thanks to their bats, which dominated low-level competition. McKelvie, who performed well last summer at an Area Code Games workout, is the better athlete of the duo and is a lefthanded hitter with a simple swing he repeats well. He has the strength to hit for power, but scouts question his feel for hitting and see more production in batting practice than in games. He was a fine defensive back as a prep football player, yet his athleticism doesn't translate defensively and he'll be limited to left field.
