If you want something exhaustive...try battersbox.ca. The first link at the top has a TON of draft pros pect information culled from several sources.
It appears we are looking at McCullers or Gallo at 17/22

I haven't followed draft prospects at all. Is this a good pick?

Can really only go off what the scouts are saying. It would seem that way though.

He's really going to have to clean up his Twitter account. It's a high school kid's account, not a pro athlete's account.

D.J. Davis, OF, Stone County (Miss.) H.S.
Churchill: Davis' best tool is his 80-grade speed, and he does possess adequate range in center field that could improve with experience. The more important tools -- hitting, hitting for power -- are question marks, but Davis could be a table setter if he maxes out the hit tool. There's enough bat speed to suggest he can reach the gaps and use his speed. The Blue Jays may be setting themselves up to spend well over slot on a few later picks.

Here is a video of DJ. He's one of only 2 players in the draft with an 80 tool for speed. Fastest player in the draft.
