Sean Burke - RHP (White Sox, 1st Base and Auto, 94/64) - The tall (6'6") righty out of the University of Maryland has an easy delivery for someone as big as he is. Very athletic at 6'2" 190 with room to fill out. A lefty prep shortstop out of Maryland, he has that classic left-handed swing geared for the lower quadrant of the zone. If he finds that power stroke again without giving up too much to get it and finding a home in a corner OF spot, he starts to creep towards Tier 2.
