Oakland is clearly not the finest context in all of baseball, but the stadium is a clear improvement coming from Petco and for better or worse Ryan Sweeney, Daric Barton and Rajai Davis all get on well. Kouz still scores like an NL backstop, but even with Petco and recovering from a shoulder problem he drove in 88. So when you get to the end of the draft and find yourself grabbing for a 3B, don't forget about him, eh? .280-60-25-90-1. 575ABs

Positives / Upside	Serious power and has a resume of high batting averages in the minor leagues. Fully recovered from the shoulder injury that bothered him last season. Moves out of Petco and has good on base people in front of him. .290-75-25-95-2. 650ABs
Negatives / Downside	He plays 3B it is true, but otherwise he resembles nothing so much as Jeff Francoeur. Which is to say all of his value is dependent on staying in the middle of the order and if his average drops (not unusual for an NL player moving to the junior circuit) he could easily find himself out of the prime spot in a batting order that we would charitably says doesn't go all the way around. .255-55-18-70-1. 500ABs
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	271
