8th - Billy Cook, RH CF from Coastal Carolina.  Saw a lot of him during Coastal's run through the College World Series. He's a junior so he might take a few extra bucks to sign considering the serious upswing in his 2 real years of playing college ball. Short OBP guy with some base speed and steals to go with some highlight-reel defense in center. He controls the zone really well and can handle the bat. I liked him in college more than I liked Braden Bishop in college, for what that's worth.  Bishop is soaring the minors right now, so maybe Cook has the same chance.  His swing is short and aggressive, much like his play in center field.  He covers a lot of ground as a little guy with good jumps and a sure glove, putting that speed to good use. He's a real player too, not just a slot fill. He's a pretty great small-ball selection for the round.  We'll see if his bunt / slash / get on base game works in the pros or if he's just a defensive replacement.
