Here are a few guys that are draft eligible at the collegiate level that should get some interest:

Reese Havens - SS - So Carolina - Has solid tools except speed. He won't be a speed demon and there may be some question as to whether he sticks at SS. He was ranked as a top 100 prospect out of high school but dropped due to signability (actually rejected an offer of $1.3M from the BoSox). He has a .963 fielding %, which is generally pretty good for a SS in college. Even as a 2B though it appears he has more than enough stick to make up for it and provides a left-handed bat to boot (prototypical left-handed hitting 2B batting in the 2 hole that can provide some pop). He currently has a .376/.504/.644 line for the Gamecocks with 13 HR's and a 47:29 K:BB ratio. I haven't seen him ranked, so I would imagine he would go in rounds 2-4. He also hit .315 in the highly touted cape cod league (showing he can hit with wood) and was named an all star in the division oppossite gordon beckham. I've seen breakdown of him and one site compared his swing and approach to that of JD Drew. Who wouldn't mind JD Drew's bat from the middle infield?

Tyler Landendorff - SS - Howard - Has both power and speed but the speed is what stands out. To this point, he has video game numbers against JUCO competition (something like 16 HR and 30+ steals) but that's not really worth posting as its obviously skewed. What I find interesting is that he obviously has the talent to back it up. He was very highly touted out of high school, but injured his labrum. He was unable to play his senior year and thus went to college to improve his stock and he has (likely 2nd rounder). Here's what baseball america had on him out of high school:

Shortstop Tyler Ladendorf generated buzz as a football and baseball star in his first two years at Maine West. But he tore a labrum diving back into a base during the state playoffs in 2004, and reinjured it that fall. When he had surgery, doctors discovered that his labrum had disintegrated. Ladendorf didn't play in 2005, but his all-around athleticism has been back on display this spring. His swing, strength and speed are all pro-caliber, and he even has some arm strength (albeit with restricted range of motion). Ladendorf should hit enough if he can stay at shortstop, but scouts aren't sure how well his bat will play if he has to move to a less demanding defensive position.
