Ethan Martin ('89 Jun06)
RHP/3B R/R 6'2" 195lbs HS GA
Ethan Martin
from BA.com
91~96mph速球，另有曲、指叉。三壘手，打擊power還不錯，但Dodgers看重的是他的投球。
還算傳統Logan White式的選法，首輪用來選高卒高天份年輕人。
第二輪61順位
Joshua Lindblom ('87 Jun15)
RHP R/R 6'5" 240lbs Purdue U IN
94~95mph速球，另有曲、指叉球。剛被轉職進牛棚。Dodgers認為他是下一隻Broxton。
對照組: 去年在1s選的James Adkins？White近兩年都用第二次選秀機會選擇接近完成型態的大學投手，或許別有用意？
第三輪93順位
Kyle Russell ('86 Jun27)
RF L/L 6'5" 190lbs U of Texas Austin TX
K or HR？質疑他能否適應使用木棒與他過多的被三振，最好可能成為Adam Dunn (有點妄想...)，最壞或許在中低階小聯盟就會被幹掉。
可能是看重他的power吧，簽下來練看看再說。
第四輪127順位
Devaris Strange-Gordon ('88 Apr22)
SS L/R 5'11" 150lbs Seminole (Fla.) CC FL
速度是他唯一的優勢，BTW，他是Tom Gordon之子。
怪怪的選秀，用第四輪選雙腿？
第五輪157順位
Jon Michael Redding ('87 Nov16)
RHP R/R 6'1" 195lbs Florida CC-Jacksonville FL
準備去讀LSU。
大概像去年(也同是第五輪)選Kyle Blair一樣(未簽，跑去唸University of San Diego)，想賭一把。
第六輪187順位
Tony Delmonico ('87 Apr27)
SS R/R 6'0" 195lbs Florida State FL
Dodgers計劃將他轉守二壘。
今年比較特殊的地方在Dodgers選進大量的大專生(前10輪僅2位高中生)及較多的野手，不過首輪還是照傳統選了右投Ethan Martin...雖然Martin被官方列在三壘手。也許和今年球探報告多說缺少優秀的高中生所致？

Our Pick
2008 Pick: Ethan Martin, RHP/3B, Stephens County HS (GA)
Height/Weight: 6-3, 200 | Age: 19
Martin entered the season as a third baseman but his strong arm improved so much on the mound that many scouts are now split on his future role. The right-hander can throw his fastball in the 91-96 mph range and he maintains his velocity well. He flashes a plus power curve, along with a splitter that he uses as an out-pitch. Martin’s control is OK but it should improve if he concentrates on pitching full time. As a third baseman, Martin is athletic and a plus defender. He has plus raw power. A team that really likes him as a pitcher could surprise a lot of people by taking him somewhat early in the first round. A high school football player, Martin is committed to Clemson University.
