Quotes & Notes

■ Baseball America has a scouting report on Trevor Coleman and on Kyle Gibson, based on their weekend at Arizona State:

Coleman: The bottom line is that both of these guys should be among the first five college catchers taken in the 2009 draft. Neither Coleman nor Ortiz projects as a first- or second-round choice, and tools-wise they fit better in the third- or fourth-round range. However, catchers have a tendency to get over-drafted because of the premium position that they play and the overall lack of depth generally at that position.

Gibson: Gibson’s performance was that of a mid-first-rounder.

■ Jacob Priday (05-08) was placed on the restricted list by the Houston Astros organization.

■ SI hypes up Max Scherzer (04-06), according to stripesandseams.com:

“He throws hard, he locates pretty well and his changeup is pretty nasty,” says right-hander Brandon Webb. “You don’t really get that from a younger guy. When he’s out there, it doesn’t look like he thinks; he just takes the ball and throws — kind of like me.”
