    Sinisi ranks right behind Southern's Rickie Weeks and Tulane's Michael Aubrey as one of the best pure college hitters available. But his draft status is slightly shaky because he has three signability strikes against him: he's a sophomore-eligible who can re-enter the draft next year without compromising his leverage; he's at Rice, a school where it's often difficult to get players to come out early; and he's advised by Scott Boras. He's often compared to Lance Berkman, the best hitter ever produced by Rice, and he has similar aptitude at the plate. Sinisi doesn't have Berkman's power--he's more of a 20-homer guy--but is more athletic and probably will be moved to the outfield after he signs. He has enough speed and the instincts to play left field. Sinisi might be a good fit at No. 9 for the Rangers, who like polished/productive college players and have a good relationship with Boras.
