I can't do Angelini's profile justice without heavily referencing Mike's amazing work over at River Ave Blues. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel, but I will give you my thoughts. Ranking: I ranked Angelini #14 and Eric had him at #11, so we pretty much agree. Ashish was a little different, ranking him at #24. I think that there's a lot to like about Angelini. He looks to be a solid defensive shortstop - more so than someone like Mitch Hilligoss or Justin Snyder - so that's a huge immediately plus. He looks to be a promising hitter across the board. The Yankees pulled out all the stops to lure him away from a big-time baseball program, and I put a lot of faith in that. But really, I think that the emphasis should be on his ability to hold down the position of shortstop. He's pretty far away right now, but a strong season could bring him as high as the #3-5 range for me. Next: Ryan Pope
