Draft Preview - first base

Jason Lynch

A slow, right-handed slugger, playing high school ball in Colorado.  He can hit the ball a ton, but isn't very selective at the plate and his defense needs a lot of work.

Ryan Patterson

A college senior from Washington, Patterson is a good all around hitter without a single plus tool. Has a good understanding of the strike zone and enough power to be dangerous.  Defensively, he is limited to first base.

Bartolo Salcido

College senior at San Jose state, Salcido hits with his hands, stays inside the ball, and works it up the middle.  He has above average power potential, but limited in the field and on the bases.
