    OF Brandon Burgess is one of the better college hitters in northern California--not just at the Division II level. Tied for the team lead in hitting at .359 for Sonoma State, while combining with OF Tom Everidge for 39 homers. The switch-hitting Burgess, a 6-foot-3, 225-pound slugger who was named the West region Division II player of the year, is the better prospect of the two. He played several positions in college but projects as a strong-armed right fielder in pro ball.
