June 7, 2007

Stay tuned for complete coverage of Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League alumni in the 2007 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. The results will be posted as they come in!

Brett Cecil │ LHP │ Univ. of Maryland │ Thunderbolts 2005
Drafted: Round Comp A, Overall Pick #38 (Toronto Blue Jays)

MLB.com's comments: Cecil's slider alone will get him to the big leagues. If he can add a changeup to throw to righties, he could close. At the very least, he could become a very good left-handed setup man in a big-league bullpen. He got a start at the end of Maryland's season and there are those who think he has the stuff to be in a rotation in the future.

Neil Ramirez │ RHP │ Kempsville (VA) HS │ Youse's Orioles 2005-2006
Drafted: Round Comp A, Overall Pick #44 (Texas Rangers)

MLB.com's comments: Ramirez's projectable body and live arm, combined with excellent fastball command should enter him into early round consideration. With his secondary stuff behind the heater, he might be a half-step behind some of the other exciting high school arms in this draft class.
