|Washington Nationals
|A.J. Morris
|Kansas State
|Morris has been one of the biggest surprises of the college season, setting Kansas State single-season records for wins (14) and strikeouts (100 in 116 innings). He handed Arizona State's Mike Leake his only loss of the season, and would have dealt Missouri's Kyle Gibson a defeat if the Wildcats' bullpen hadn't blown a lead for him. It has been a far cry from his 4-4, 6.04 performance as a sophomore. Morris has dominated with just two pitches, a 90-91 mph fastball that tops out at 94 and a solid slider. He locates both with precision, usually on the corners and at the knees, and his command allows them both to play above their average grades. Morris is throwing from a lower arm slot this year, giving him more lateral life on his pitches, and he has scrapped an ineffective curveball. Hitters have trouble picking up his pitches. He also has added 15 pounds and now carries 200 on his 6-foot-2 frame. Morris hasn't needed a changeup and some area scouts say they haven't even see him throw one while warming up between innings. His emergence began in the West Coast League last summer, and some clubs tried to sign him as a free agent after he went undrafted last June as a sophomore-eligible. Some scouts worry about his size, arm action and lack of a third pitch, but a team that believes heavily in performance could take him early in the second round.
|Seattle Mariners
|James Jones
|Long Island
|After a standout fall, Jones entered the season as a potential top-two-rounds pick as a lefthander, but he struggled mightily in the Northeast Conference, going 1-9, 7.40. He still earned all-conference honors as an outfielder/first baseman, batting .364/.453/.618 with nine homers, 32 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 23 tries. Most scouts still prefer Jones as a pitcher, but some consider him a third- to fourth-round talent as a corner outfielder. A gifted athlete with a lanky 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame, Jones garners physical comparisons to Mike Cameron and Adam Jones. He has quick hands and projects to hit for power down the road, and he shows good pitch recognition and plate discipline. He also has good instincts in the outfield. Jones' athleticism also makes him intriguing as a pitcher, despite his poor numbers. Multiple scouts have said Jones has one of the quickest arms they have ever seen, and everyone agrees that his arm action is exceptionally clean and loose, though his mechanics need plenty of work, as he tends to overstride, causing his stuff to flatten out. Jones ran his fastball up to 94-95 in the fall but pitched mostly in the 88-93 range this spring, usually sitting around 91. He throws a curveball and a slider, and both rate as below-average pitches, though he flashes an average breaking ball every once in a while. The consensus is that he'd be better off scrapping the curveball and concentrating on developing the slider. Jones tends to slow down his delivery on his changeup, but he does have some feel for the pitch. Scouts unanimously laud Jones for his makeup; he works hard both on and off the field and is widely regarded as a great person. Few players in this draft are as intriguing as Jones, but he's very much a boom-or-bust prospect. He figures to be drafted in the third to fifth round, more likely as a pitcher.
|San Diego Padres
|Keyvius Sampson
|Forest HS, Ocala, Fla.
|Florida State's top recruit, Sampson would bring the Seminoles a dynamic arm the program has lacked in recent years, if he gets to school. That's not likely, as his lithe, athletic frame and power arm have attracted scouts' interest for the last two years. Sampson has overcome off-field problem, including the death of his mother, to become one of the top arms in the state of Florida, which will be the top producer of talent in this year's draft after California. He reminds some scouts of Edwin Jackson as an African-American pitcher with athleticism and a quick arm that produces above-average velocity. He's touched 95-96 as the season has gone on, showing stronger stuff to go with a power breaking ball. He's shown feel for a changeup as well and has good present control and projects to have average future command thanks to his athleticism. He tends to vary his arm slot more than he should depending on the pitch and needs to become more consistent to make projections of average command come through. Clubs that believe in the arm and athleticism won't let him get through the first two rounds.
|Pittsburgh Pirates
|Zack Dodson
|Medina Valley HS, Castroville, Texas
|Baylor's top recruit, lefthander Zach Dodson, likely will make it to school because he has a seven-figure asking price. He has been inconsistent this spring, but when he has his mechanics in sync he can hit 91-92 mph with his fastball and demonstrates a solid curveball and the makings of a change. He's not big at 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, so he generates velocity with some effort in his high three-quarters delivery. He's also a good athlete whose lefty bat also could help the Bears, and they should be able to smooth him out.
|Baltimore Orioles
|Randy Henry
|South Mountain (Ariz.) JC
|Hailing from Arnett, Okla., Henry was slated to attend Texas Tech after high school. But he blew out his elbow, missed his senior season after having Tommy John surgery and ended up at South Mountain (Ariz.) CC. He's played second base for the Cougars this year, but his future is likely on the mound. At 6-foot-3, Henry has clean mechanics from a three-quarter arm slot. Just 18 months removed from surgery, head coach Todd Eastin gave Henry a very soft landing this year, allowing him to pitch out of the bullpen. Over nine games, Henry pitched just 11 innings this season. Because of his limited time on the mound this year, Henry has been tough to see, but those that have seen him walked away impressed. His fastball has shown good life, sitting at 90 mph every time out and even touching 94-96 late in the year. While Henry threw mostly fastballs and changeups this year, when he regained the confidence to throw a breaking ball, scouts said it was an above-average pitch with great tilt and snap.
|San Francisco Giants
|Jason Stoffel
|The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Stoffel looked like a no-doubt first-rounder entering the season, and while he still flashes a fastball that sits 93-95 mph and a slider that can be unhittable, he has been inconsistent. His fastball and slider have straightened out and lost a few ticks at times this season, and his numbers this season aren't those of a dominant reliever. But Stoffel became Arizona's career saves leader this season with 26 and counting, passing Mark Melancon. Scouts who have seen him good put Stoffel in the same class as Arizona's first-round pitchers from last season, Ryan Perry and Daniel Schlereth. He's a fierce competitor but falls into the trap of many relievers in pitching to the situation. He pitches better in close games, and can lose focus when he comes in with a cushion. Some question Stoffel's decision to pass on pitching in the Cape Cod League or for Team USA the past two summers.
|Atlanta Braves
|Mycal Jones
|Miami Dade JC
|Jones will be 22 by draft day, making him unusual for a junior-college player. But he has pro tools, and that combined with his polish should make him one of the country's first junior-college players selected. He spent two years at North Florida, being named to the Atlantic Sun Conference's all-freshman team as a redshirt in 2007 before being academically ineligible in 2008. Jones then transferred to Miami-Dade and was the conference player of the year as a fourth-year sophomore. His speed and defense will immediately play in pro ball; while he has 70 raw speed with 6.4-second 60 times, Jones' speed doesn't play offensively because he has more of an uppercut, power-oriented swing. He's athletic and has infield actions. Scouts are mixed on whether his average throwing arm will be enough for shortstop, and some question his range as well. He has enough strength and bat speed to hit for average as a pro, even if he doesn't maintain the power he has flashed with metal bats (he hit .447 with 13 homers this spring). Most scouts conservatively see Jones as a future utility infielder with possible Chone Figgins upside, but he could wind up an everyday shortstop. Teams that see him that way could take him as high as the fourth round.
|Cincinnati Reds
|Mark Fleury
|North Carolina
|Fleury was a reserve and part-time DH for most of his first two seasons at North Carolina, then emerged as one of the Tar Heels' most important performers as a junior. He'd started every game this spring and led the team in RBIs while throwing out 33 percent of basestealers. Fleury's lefthanded bat and solid catch-and-throw skills should push him up draft boards, particularly with so few college catchers available. He doesn't have a standout tool, but he was one of the better all-around catchers in the Cape Cod League last summer and built on that this year. He's a patient hitter with solid-average power, and his discipline gives him a chance to have a solid hit tool as well. He hangs in well against lefthanded pitchers, having seen plenty in North Carolina's lefty-heavy lineup. Fleury's arm earns mixed reviews, with some scouts rating it above-average and others as solid-average. He has handled velocity well at North Carolina and earns plaudits from scouts for his leadership skills and ability to lead a pitching staff.
|Detroit Tigers
|Edwin Gomez
|Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, Gurabo, P.R.
|Shortstop Edwin Gomez did not play well this spring, and the consensus seems to be that he will eventually have to move off the position. With a 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame, Gomez is already more physical than his cousin, Alex Cintron of the Nationals. A move to a corner outfield spot is likely, though he might not have the bat to play there. Gomez is a switch-hitter and is better from the left side.
|Colorado Rockies
|Kent Matthes
|Matthes has never been drafted, even though he was an Aflac All-American in 2004 in high school and was a solid college player as a sophomore and junior, hitting 19 home runs over two seasons though his poor plate discipline (26 walks, 92 strikeouts) held him back. He has put it all together this season, however, prompting one area scout to call the fact that Matthes hasn't been drafted "an indictment of our industry." He has pro tools, and has since high school. He's athletic and a solid-average runner, as well as a good baserunner (27 for 30 on stolen bases the last three seasons), with an average to plus arm that most consider suitable for right field. He'd be an above-average defender in left field if he moves there, and he might because his arm doesn't play plus at times due to a long transfer. He has plenty of raw power, though some wonder if he'll produce enough game power for a corner outfield spot. Alabama coaches believe he started to pick up on breaking balls better during the team's fall tour of Cuba, and Matthes carried that confidence into the spring. As he improved his approach, he turned his power into production, leading Division I with 28 home runs. He made more consistent contact and drove the ball to all fields, helping him hit .365 after entering the season with a .293 career average. Matthes doesn't have major mechanical issues with his swing, so continued improvement with his patience and pitch recognition will determine how his power carries over.
|Kansas City Royals
|Chris Dwyer
|After prepping with Phillies 2008 first-round pick Anthony Hewitt in Connecticut, Dwyer turned down the Yankees as a 36th-round pick last year to enroll at Clemson. Unlike most college players, he knew he wouldn't have to wait three years to re-enter the draft. Because of his background, which includes being held back in elementary school and an extra high school year at Salisbury Prep, he is a draft-eligible freshman, already 21 years old. Dwyer's physical maturity helped him dominate at times, including six straight strikeouts in his debut against Charlotte. Dwyer's maturity is still that of a freshman, however, in that he's been unable to sustain his top-shelf stuff from start to start. An excellent athlete who was a standout quarterback in high school, Dwyer has shown the ability to throw two plus pitches for strikes at times. His fastball can sit in the 90-94 mph range when he's at his best, and his curveball is a plus pitch and a true hammer. He didn't have too many instances of being in trouble or having runners on base in high school, and that lack of experience might be why he's susceptible to the big inning. He hasn't challenged hitters in conference play, with 21 of his 24 walks coming in nine ACC games. He hasn't quite figured out how to battle through jams and execute pitches when he needs to get out of trouble. Being a draft-eligible freshman also clouds his signability, but he has more stuff and pitchability than some of his lefthanded peers in the draft.
|Oakland Athletics
|Max Stassi
|Yuba City (Calif.) HS
|Stassi carries on the family's baseball tradition, and he has a chance to be the best offensive catcher in this year's deep catching crop. He is related to Myril Hoag, an outfielder who played during the 1930s and '40s for the Yankees and St. Louis Browns and was an all-star in 1939, and Stassi's father is his high school coach. Stassi got off to a sizzling start this spring, hitting .593 with nine homers in his first 21 games. For a high schooler, he's an exceptionally advanced hitter. He attacks the ball, uses the entire field and has above-average bat speed. Defensively, Stassi is solid but not outstanding. Other catchers are superior in catch-and-throw skills, but scouts agree that Stassi should have no difficulty remaining behind the plate. A bothersome shoulder injury restricted him to DH duty for about a month, but he has since returned to catching full time.
|Texas Rangers
|Andrew Doyle
|Doyle has solid stuff and a craftsman's approach to pitching. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder has the arm strength to dial a four-seam fastball up to 93-94 mph when needed, but he prefers to throw 89-91 mph two-seamers on the corners, allowing their sink to create groundouts. His slider isn't a swing-and-miss pitch but it is an out pitch, generating off-balance swings and more groundouts. His changeup gives him a third pitch that induces weak contact. Doyle has an easy delivery and is always around the plate. He doesn't have the sexiest arsenal, especially compared to flamethrowing but erratic teammate Garrett Richards, but Doyle does have 17 wins in two seasons in Oklahoma's rotation. He projects as a possible third-round pick and potential No. 3 starter in the big leagues.
|Cleveland Indians
|Kyle Bellows
|San Jose State
|Bellows experienced an offensive breakthrough in 2009, hitting .389 with 10 homers, 57 rbis, 10 steals, a .615 slg. pct and a .428 obp. He has always been excellent defensively, excelling either at shortstop or 3rd base, which will probably be his professional home. Bellows committed only 7 errors this season, and notched a .974 fielding percentage. At 6'3" and 210 pounds, he possesses a strong and athletic frame. Now that his hit and power tools have begun to catch up with his defensive skills, Bellows profiles as a versatile asset on the left side of the infield.
|Arizona Diamondbacks
|David Nick
|Cypress (Calif.) HS
|Cypress High in Orange County is a top-notch program that has recently produced first-rounders Scott Moore (2002) and Josh Vitters (2007). Nick doesn't figure to be drafted quite that high, but he is an outstanding player nonetheless. A 6-foot-2 high school shortstop, Nick will probably move to second base in pro ball. He doesn't have the arm, hands or actions to hold down shortstop beyond college, but second should be a perfect fit. Nick is an excellent all-around athlete, with one of the most interesting batting stances seen in years. Eschewing modern hitting theory, he stands dead still at the plate, with his feet spread and the bat held above his back shoulder. Motionless as the pitch comes in, he turns on the ball by whipping the bat and snapping his wrists violently at the last instant. No one would be foolish enough to compare a high schooler to Joe DiMaggio, but Nick's swing is a near copy. And it gets results. Nick is a line-drive hitter, and the ball screams off his bat when he squares a pitch up. The only concern with Nick is that his terrific quickness will at times cause him to pull off the ball too soon, imparting topspin to the ball. As a professional, Nick profiles as an offense-oriented second baseman with average defensive skills, above-average speed, average power, and potentially well-above-average hitting skills.
|Los Angeles Dodgers
|Angelo Songco
|Loyola Marymount
|Undrafted out of high school, Songco has been one of the hottest college hitters in California this spring. Hot bats translate to draft helium, and Songco may have hit his way into the first two rounds. He utilizes one of the most distinctive stances in college baseball, starting deep in the box, standing tall with his bat held high. He lifts his front right leg straight up and then drops it straight down before lashing at the ball with a quick bat. His power was evident with wood bats last summer, when he hit eight homers to rank second in the Cape Cod League. An aggressive hitter, Songco is vulnerable to offspeed pitches and has difficulty covering the outside corner. Early in the count, he looks for a pitch middle-in that he can hammer. He has average speed and is an average defensive outfielder. While he has played right field for Loyola Marymount, his arm probably dictates a move to left in pro ball. But he'll be drafted for thunder in his bat, possibly as early as the supplemental first round.
|Florida Marlins
|Dan Mahoney
|Connecticut righthander Dan Mahoney is the clear-cut No. 2 prospect in lower New England behind Eric Smith, but scouts have been exasperated all spring by how difficult he has been to see, as the Huskies use him in a middle relief role. A 16th-round pick by the Yankees out of Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Mass., in 2007, Mahoney dominated as a closer in the New England Collegiate League last summer, ranking as the circuit's No. 2 prospect. He has a projectable 6-foot-4, 204-pound frame and a quick arm that produces fastballs up to 94 mph, though the pitch can be flat. He also flashes an above-average 76-78 mph curveball with sharp 11-to-5 break and an average or slightly better changeup. Sometimes he impresses scouts with his aggressive approach, but other times he's tentative and struggles with his command. There are questions about Mahoney's delivery, as he has a wrist wrap and often struggles to repeat his release point. A club that managed to get a few good looks at Mahoney could take him in the top six rounds, and he is believed to be signable as a draft-eligible sophomore.
|St. Louis Cardinals
|Scott Bittle
|Ole Miss also has passed the Bulldogs in terms of pro talent, such as Scott Bittle. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder was a first-team All-American a year ago and when he's healthy, he has one of the best pitches in the draft. He attacks hitters with a ferocious cutter in the 84-86 mph range, and should saw of plenty of bats in pro ball with the pitch. It has amazing depth for a cut fastball as well. His fastball can reach 92 mph in shorter stints, though he pitches in the upper 80s with sink as a starter. His changeup also has become an average pitch. Bittle's medical history makes it impossible to know where he'll be drafted. He redshirted in 2006 at Northeast Texas CC because of rotator cuff tendinitis, so his shoulder has been an issue--either keeping him off the mound or keeping him from signing in the draft--three times in the last five years.
|Toronto Blue Jays
|Ryan Goins
|Dallas Baptist
|Ryan Goins smashed 22 homers for Dallas Baptist this spring, but his best tool is actually his plus-plus arm. A lefthanded hitter, he projects to have more gap power than home run pop with wood bats. The 5-foot-11, 183-pounder draws a lot of walks and should be able to hit in pro ball. His well-below-average speed will force him to move from shortstop to second base, where his arm strength will be less of an asset.
|Houston Astros
|B.J. Hyatt
|South Carolina-Sumter JC
|Hyatt, physical and projectable at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, is considered a raw power arm. He worked as both a starter and as a reliever for USC-Sumter JC but posted a 7.24 ERA in the spring. He was committed to transfer to Kennesaw State, but the athletic righthander flashed mid-90s velocity in a predraft workout with the Astros.
|Minnesota Twins
|Derek McCallum
|McCallum had the best offensive season of any Minnesota player since future big leaguer Robb Quinlan in 1998, batting .409/.484/.741 with 18 homers and a school-record 86 RBIs. He foreshadowed his breakout with a strong summer in the Northwoods League, which he led with 81 hits while batting .328 with wood bats. McCallum handles the bat and controls the strike zone well, and he consistently generates hard line drives with a short lefthanded stroke. He had reached base in each of his final 46 games. His power blossomed this spring, and he drilled six homers in one five-game stretch after hitting five in his first two seasons. The 6-foot, 190-pound McCallum played hockey in high school and brings that kind of mentality to the diamond. He played second base as a freshman and shortstop as a sophomore, and he looked more comfortable after moving back to second this spring. Though he's a below-average runner, he has a quick first step, range to both sides and a good arm for the position. He shows keen instincts in all aspects of the game. A club that sees McCallum as a poor man's Chase Utley could take him in the fourth round.
|Chicago White Sox
|Matt Heidenreich
|Temescal Canyon HS, Lake Elsinore, Calif.
|Tall and projectable at 6-foot-6 and 200 pounds, Heidenreich fires a fastball in the high 80s and low 90s, and he reportedly has touched 95 mph. He's raw mechanically and his secondary offerings need substantial development
|New York Mets
|Darrell Ceciliani
|Columbia Basin (Wash.) JC
|Madras, Ore., has a population of about 5,000, so when a player from there gets compared to Madras' most famous resident--Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury--it attracts attention. Columbia Basin CC outfielder Darrell Ceciliani has drawn such comparisons, though he's not quite on Ellsbury's level athletically and some scouts have questions about his bat. Ceciliani didn't play for travel teams growing up, instead spending his summers working on his family's cattle farm. A broken hand his junior year of high school moved him even further off the radar, but he developed a relationship with Columbua Basin associate coach Jeremy Beard. Like Ellsbury, Ceciliani is 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, but he looks a little bulkier. He bats and throws lefthanded and is up at the plate looking to put the ball in play and use his above-average speed (6.58 seconds over 60 yards) to get on base. Ceciliani hasn't faced good pitching, yet can get jammed even against below-average velocity in the NWAACC and has just warning-track power with wood during batting practice.
|New York Yankees
|Adam Warren
|North Carolina
|North Carolina righthander Adam Warren wasn't considered on the same level as other Tar Heels pitcher as a prospect, but the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder had a breakout senior season and was the team's most consistent pitcher. He was 29-4 over the last three seasons entering super regional play, and his stuff took a step forward this spring. Warren figures to go in a single-digit round after improving the velocity on his four-seam fastball and honing his command. He was hitting 94 mph late in the season and sitting 88-92. He has added a two-seam fastball and cutter over the years to go with his solid-average changeup. He throws a slow, early-count curveball, and his inability to spin a better breaking ball is his biggest limitation.
|Milwaukee Brewers
|Brooks Hall
|Hanna HS, Anderson, S.C.
|Like Mississippi signee and top prep prospect David Renfroe, Hall would be an impact college player as a two-way option. He's a power bat at third base, though he lacks Renfroe's easy actions and feel for defense. He's much less of a prospect as a hitter than as a pitcher, where Hall was gaining some steam, especially after throwing a perfect game in March. Hall has good size and at times stays tall and uses his 6-foot-5 frame to his benefit, driving an 88-92 mph fastball down in the strike zone. At his best, he hit some 94s, and he also showed the ability to spin a power slider that could be a plus pitch. His frame has projection as well. His early helium peaked when he matched up with Mauldin High and righthander Madison Younginer, the top prospect in the Palmetto State, and Younginer won the matchup hands-down. Hall was limited in April to just hitting due to an biceps tendinitis injury, and scouts were starting to back off him considering his South Carolina commitment and bonus demands.
|Philadelphia Phillies
|Adam Buschini
|Cal Poly
|Held back by Tommy John surgery in 2008, Buschini was healthy and able to put in a full season in 2009. He responded with a huge year, batting .412/.478/.723 with 11 homers. A 6-foot-2, 205-pound righthanded hitter, Buschini's power and advanced hitting approach may place him in the single-digit rounds, especially after he showed versatility by moving from first base to second base after an injury to standout freshman Matt Jensen. A former prep soccer player, Buschini has also filled in at shortstop, third base and the outfield in his career.
|Boston Red Sox
|Jeremy Hazelbaker
|Ball State
|Hazelbaker hit .246 with 31 errors at second base in his first two seasons at Ball State, but earned all-star honors as an outfielder in the Great Lakes League last summer. Even then, no one expected him to rank among the NCAA Division I leaders in batting (.429), runs (77), hits (87), triples (nine), total bases (147), walks (48), on-base percentage (.550), slugging percentage (.724) and steals (29). He's a totally different hitter now, as he has stopped trying to pull everything and focused on using the entire field and letting his considerable speed work for him. A 65 runner out of the box on the 20-80 scouting scale--he grades as a 70 once he gets going--Hazelbaker is adept a bunting, a skill that helped the lefty hitter bat .419 against southpaws. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder also has deceptive strength, hitting for the cycle against Kent State (doing most of the damage off prospect Brad Stillings) and driving some balls out of the park to the opposite field. Despite his strength, he understands his primary role as a leadoff hitter is to get on base and create havoc. His speed also allows him to chase down balls in center field, where his arm is playable. He made seven errors this spring, though it was his first year as a full-time outfielder. His limited track record bothers some scouts, but there aren't many college prospects in this draft who are legitimate up-the-middle players and have performed, so he could get picked as high as the third round.
|Tampa Bay Rays
|Luke Bailey
|Troup County HS, LaGrange, Ga.
|Bailey entered the season at the front of the national group of high school catchers, one of the strongest positions in the draft. He had shown a rare combination of hitting ability, raw power and arm strength, all of which graded above-average, as well as solid athleticism and surprising speed. Bailey's offense had slipped this spring, as he hit just three home runs. Scouts said he was tinkering too much searching for power, trying different strides and different timing mechanisms. Scouts had no questions about him defensively, where he ranks among the best athletes in the prep catcher group, and he showed toughness as a junior by playing through a broken rib. He has plenty of arm strength and was doing some ill-advised pitching for his high school team before going down with Tommy John surgery in April. Bailey has an Auburn commitment, having grown up a fan, but still was expected to be signable, much as the late Nick Adenhart signed after having had the surgery back in 2004.
|Chicago Cubs
|Chris Rusin
|Rusin can't reach the mid-90s like Kentucky teammates James Paxton and Alex Meyer (projected first-rounders in 2009 and 2011, respectively) but he pitched both of them this spring. He finished his career ranked second in career wins (23) and strikeouts (274 in 302 innings) in school history, and he should be one of the first college seniors drafted this year. Rusin had a chance to go in the first five rounds in 2008 before coming down with a sore elbow shortly before the draft. He had arthroscopic surgery in the fall to repair a slight tear in a tendon and has been as good as ever this spring. Six-foot-2 and 190 pounds, Rusin primarily works with a lively 87-89 mph fastball and a curveball. He'll need to improve his changeup to succeed as a starter in pro ball. He doesn't have a pretty delivery, but it adds deception to his pitches without impairing his ability to throw strikes. He repeats his mechanics well, though some scouts wonder if they could lead to more arm problems down the line.
|Los Angeles Angels
|Wes Hatton
|Norco (Calif.) HS
|He can pitch (89-91 mph fastball) and play the infield or outfield. Hatton has above-average speed as well, but his lack of size and absence of one huge tool may keep him out of the top 10 rounds.


text:
The Ingrid 38 from the pen of William Atkin is a heavy displacement blue water cutter derived from Colin Archer's famous double ender designed North Sea pilot boats, which in turn were inspired by Viking boats renowned for their heavy weather characteristics. Perhaps Atkin sums it up best by saying it's "the kind of boat that behaves herself in rough water and can be depended upon to sail herself". (To that part we do hear frequent mentions of the superb one-finger-on-tiller tracking and a comfortable ride.)
With her old world style, Josette's a good looking boat with a sheer line reminiscent of Crealock's famous Westsail 32. Her seaworthiness is there to see in her full keel, heavy displacement and overbuilt construction. Her hull is heavily hand laid in fiberglass. There's robust outboard chain plates and an outboard rudder protected by extra fiberglass and a large bronze shoe casting should she scrub the bottom.
Atkin's main rework on the Ingrid 38 from Archer's original design was finer entry on the bow which 'cushions' her landing off the waves and even may increase speed slightly. Below the waterline she has a long full keel with deep v-sections forward keeping her stable in the rough. The ballast is encapsulated and is distributed from bow to stern, to keep the weight as low as possible. Rounding this off, there's plenty of flotation designed in her ends, fore and aft which helps keep her dry.
The trade off of heavy displacement and ultimate stability is usually in speed so the Ingrid 38 is not considered fast. By the numbers, her hull speed works out at 7.2 knots but she'll more often manage a consistent 6 knots while cruising. Surprisingly she's known to sail pretty well in light airs, as owners report she'll do half the wind speed in up to 8 knots of wind. However, she's a boat that comes into her own in heavier seas. The cutter rig gives plenty of options on all points of sail and she's an easy boat to single-hand.
Josette is her original name and she has spent most all of her life in fresh water. She only spent one year in salt water in 1985, her original launch year. This is a one-owner vessel. The hull was built in 1974 by Bluewater Yachts in Washington State and it is reported that these are the same builders that build the Nordic Tugs. The interior cabin sides (ceiling) were finished in planking by the original owner. The hull is foam insulated to keep you cool when it is hot outside and warm when it is cold outside. The galley area is a great work space for any type of cooking. The mast is anodized aluminum construction by MetalMast Marine, with internal halyards. The hull is solid fiberglass construction and does have some gel coat surface blisters above the waterline, but they do not appear to be structural.
She recently had the following engine work accomplished: new head gasket, two new exhaust valves, injector service, new exhaust elbow.
She has Profurl roller furling on the yankee to make her easier to handle as well as a staysail that can act as a storm sail if you need it. There are extra tall lifelines for safety. The aft cabin is small and can be used for storage, if not for sleeping. The custom mid cockpit is large for this design.
If you are looking for an around the world type comfortable live aboard sailboat, this is the one for you. She even has a bow thruster for docking this long keel hull and hydraulic wheel steering to eliminate the hard work at the helm.
Josette is currently on the hard at our marina and can be seen by appointment only.

NBC News' Michael Isikoff reports that Perry associates could benefit from a provision placed in a massive Medicaid funding bill that would allow the state commissioner of Health and Human Services to award a contract to establish a statewide adult stem cell bank.
The provision, added during the special session, could provide a significant business opportunity for two Perry associates — Dr. Stanley Jones, who performed a controversial procedure that involved injecting Perry's own adult stem cells into his back; and David Eller, a former DuPont executive and chairman of the Board of Regents at Texas A&M University, who is a major Perry donor.
Business records reviewed by the San Antonio Express-News show that Eller owns Celltex Therapeutics Corporation, which is also registered as Biolife Stem Cell Corporation. NBC reports that Jones, Perry's doctor, is involved in Eller's stem cell venture. Neither Celltex or Biolife offer much in the way of information on the internet. Phone calls to numbers listed for Eller weren't returned.
NBC reports that Perry was actively supporting the legislation while he was receiving the stem cell injections from Jones. The experimental treatment has caused controversy in the medical community, as stem cell experts questioned the effectiveness of the treatment Perry received. Perry campaign spokesman Mark Miner would not disclose how much the governor paid for the treatment and only said that Perry paid whatever cost his insurance would not cover.
Campaign finance records show that Eller has donated at least $30,000 to Perry since he became governor. He also served on the board of Endocare, a medical devices company, while the company was being investigated by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for accounting irregularities in the early 2000s. In 2007, two Endocare executives were indicted by a federal grand jury in Orange County, Calif., for cooking the books.
During the closing days of the Legislature's special session, Rep. Rick Hardcastle inserted a provision into a giant Medicaid funding bill that gives the commissioner of the Health and Human Services Department the authority to issue a contract to establish a statewide adult stem cell bank, The Texas Tribune's Emily Ramshaw reported.
Hardcastle, who has multiple sclerosis, told the Tribune that the issue had been on his mind for a long time. He said that the governor's office hadn't asked him to carry the legislation, but one of the governor's staffers had advised him on it.
However, there are questions about what authority the Legislature actually gave the Health and Human Services Commission.
"Every reporter that's come to us reads it different, and we're having the same problem," said Stephanie Goodman, a spokeswoman for the state agency, told the Express-News.
She said the questions centered around if the Legislature wants the agency to propose regulation for the adult stem cell industry or to contract out development of it. Goodman said the agency had requested clarification from Hardcastle, who responded by writing that it was not his intention to place new regulation on the industry.
"…The amendment is intended only to establish eligibility criteria for the creation and operation of an autologous adult stem cell bank, and only if it is deemed necessary and appropriate by [the agency]."
Still, Goodman said the agency believes that the legislation did provide the agency with the authority to issue a contract to develop a statewide stem cell bank, but that such a contract could be issued only after a study of its cost effectiveness and possible efficiency.
She said the agency has not commissioned such a review.

Webster Dictionary
to strike or dash against each other; to come into collision; to clash; as, the vessels collided; their interests collided
to strike or dash against
Origin: [L. collidere, collisum; col- + laedere to strike. See Lesion.]
Collide is a music duo founded in 1992, in Los Angeles, California, USA, that has incorporated elements of trip hop, synthpop and music from the Middle East into their sound. Their imagery is said to be a wicked and neo-dark version of Scheherazade Arabian Nights tales. The name comes from the 'collision' of musical styles, primarily the ethereal vocals provided by kaRIN and the electronic music provided by Statik. Collide's debut album, Beneath the Skin, was released in 1996, followed by a remix album, Distort, in 1998 containing remixes by artists such as Kneel Cohn of the bands Spirits In Sin and The Dead Stars On Hollywood. Dissatisfied with the music industry, Collide started their own record label, Noiseplus Music, and in 2000, they released their second studio album, Chasing the Ghost. Three years later, they released their third studio album, Some Kind of Strange. The following year, the band released another remix album, Vortex, containing remixes by numerous remix artists, including Charlie Clouser. Joining kaRIN and Statik this time around, and for their first live performances a little later in the year, were Scott Landes, Rogerio Silva, Chaz Pease, and Kai Kurosawa.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
kol-īd′, v.i. to dash together: to clash.—p.adjs. Collid′ed, Collid′ing.—ns. Colli′sion, state of being struck together: conflict: opposition: clashing; Colli′sion-mat; a mat for covering a hole in a ship's side caused by a collision. [L. collidĕre, collisum—col, together, lædĕre, to strike.]

Designated athletic fields and informal fields in city park properties are permitted exclusively to city-sponsored programs and Independent Youth Sports Organizations (IYSO) within Aurora. IYSO's must follow city-issued guidelines in order to be recognized as a designated youth organization. Permits are issued every year beginning in February through the first week of November.
While we continue to try and minimize the number of teams permitted on informal fields (in public parks) as much as possible, the demand for practice fields continues to outpace the number of fields in our inventory. Additionally, teams without permits can, and do, use fields at our public parks at off-peak times. Teams with a field permit have priority over drop-in users.
If you have tournament needs, contact Paul Smith. Aurora has 27 tournament-quality fields at various locations across the city including the tournament-ready Aurora Sports Park.

Ward Hadaway" />Tesco's former trading law and technical head Stephen Campbell has joined Ward Hadaway to head its environmental team. Ward Hadaway head of property and planning Neil Robson said bringing Campbell on board was a "real coup" for the firm.
Campbell added that the North East was becoming the place to be for the renewables sector, which is why he joined Ward Hadaway. At Tesco, Campbell was responsible for dealing with all regulatory challenges to the supermarket giant, which included the environment.

Intersections – Okanagan Pride 2013 at the Alternator
The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is pleased to present Intersections, an exhibition of six artists in the LGBTQ* (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer and other) community. Intersections is presented in conjunction with the 2013 Okanagan Pride Festival in Kelowna, BC.
Taking place in the Members' Gallery at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, Intersections offers a chance to share with one another the intricacies of our own personal journeys, the paths we have already taken and the experiences still to come. For artists Daniel Oledzki, Jacklyn Harris, Deneige Nadeau, Kevin Michael Witzke, Shannon Lester and Dean Krawchuk, the mileage varies. The poetic work of Deneige Nadeau, a recent graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design, engages snippets of theoretical text with photographs of her own body; while Daniel Eric Oledzki explores the areas where media, gender and capitalism overlap.
The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art welcomes you to visit our space between August 10th and 17th to view the exhibition. Please join us for a reception and official Okanagan Pride 2013 opening event on Saturday, August 10th at 7:00 pm at the Alternator Centre. This is a free public event. The exhibition will run for the duration of the festival, August 10th- 17th.

As reported earlier, a few days ago, Ralph Nader suggested that only a very wealthy individual has a chance of running for President with a realistic chance of making meaningful change in U.S. politics and government. In this article, the Washington Post describes each of the individuals on Nader's list.
Washington Post Describes Each of the 20 Wealthy Individuals on Ralph Nader's Presidential-Wish List — No Comments
Of those on Nader's list only Tom Golisano has demonstrated he's got the stomach/fire in the belly for total political battle. Running against the duopoly is all uphill.
I hope he'd pledge to serve only one term, being almost 80 at the end of that. Also I'd hope he'd let state organizations get various candidates for Vice President to demonstrate the movement is in charge of him not the reverse. More hoping includes a lot of emphasis on electoral reform and less on sheltering rich from taxes. That entire episode with the NY state senate crisis in '09 which he brought on with his wealth shows his fire but was costly to the state even as it tested it.
Golisano could be that vital interim between rejecting the duopoly and identifying a democracy vision and leader.
Things are indeed bad when the call goes out to a "Modestly enlightened rich person" as everything is rigged, only money can inspire hope.
And happy birthday Ralph Nader, many more too.
Since we know corporate "persons" have first amendment rights, are there any constitutional impediments to running a corporate "person" for president? As long as they incorporated at least 35 years ago, I can see none. Dow Chemical even has a "person" first name! And it (he?) has plenty of money to bankroll a run.
BTW…Is Dow a Christian or a corporate "person" of some other faith? Any lovers of the Citizens United decision out there who might know?
Thanks in advance.
Good point!
So only male corporate "persons" can be president, then.
And you've given Scalia a novel originalist basis for telling Hillary to pound sand if she runs and manages to win.

BOONE, Iowa — hing his Black Angus steers shove one another toward two long troughs, rancher Marshall King knows that his livelihood and the health of the U.S. beef industry depend on the safety of the coarse yellow feed doled out to cattle like his across the nation.
Mad cow disease--a brain-wasting illness believed to be spread through feed containing infected cattle products in Europe--has not appeared in the United States. Federal regulators have devised layers of protection to keep it out, or to contain a possible outbreak.

We'll Be Back
Relegation from the Premiership was confirmed last night as Charlton failed to beat Spurs.
Charlton needed to win to have any chance of staying up, but we got off to the worst possible start after Berbatov broke clear and curled the ball home after just 7 minutes.
Charlton showed plenty of battle and fight, but we never looked likely in beating Robinson. The fans stayed proud throughout and the atmosphere was top notch, considering the circumstances.
Spurs looked like a side battling for European football and you can have no complaints, we were no where near good enough.
Jermaine Defoe came on late to add injury to insult and crashed home Spurs' second of the night. He is someone we should be pleased we will not be facing next season as he always finds the net against us.
The game finished 2-0 to Spurs and our relegation was sealed.
After the match, Charlton manager Alan Pardew said: 'The league table speaks for itself, there's no politics involved, no court cases, this is where it's at.
'What we have to do is focus on our last league game and make sure we leave this division with pride.'
'I'd love West Ham to stay up because there are a lot of people there I love.'
We'll be back... mark my words.

Review by Hideo Kamimoto
My order of Trans Tint dye stains arrived right on schedule. What's more, the shipment was packed really well, with plenty of packing material and ziplock bags for the stains. Everything was done right and it was nice to get a personal note from Joe as well!
Review by Jeff Dennis
I was looking for some Transtint dyes for staining my guitar kit projects. I searched the net extensively and found VeneerSupplies.com. The price was great, approximately 40% less than the large box supplier. I'm generally weary about ordering from sites not associated with larger on-line retailers, but thought I would give Veneer Supplies a try. The experience was great. The communication was excellent and my goods arrived in a timely fashion. My thanks to Joe and the staff at VeneerSupplies.com for their excellent service and a great on-line ordering experience.
Review by Spencer Salva
This is the first wood dye I've ever purchased, along with some Dark Walnut and Black. Using just the straight Dark Mission Brown with lacquer thinner & denatured alcohol base, I've gotten beautiful results on inexpensive pine & parawood (rubberwood). Along with a poly/oil finish, it really brought out a lot of character that I didn't think parawood had. I intend to buy more and use it on other types of wood as well. I live in a neighborhood known for it's Craftsman-style architecture and this color works will with Mission-style furnishing of the same period, so I'm using it throughout my house and have gotten many compliments.

Genre: YA Fantasy
Series: N/A
Publication Date: October 18, 2011

It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
Quick & Dirty: This novel has moving prose, wonderful characters and world-building, and a gripping plot to keep you reading!
Opening Sentence: It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.
Excerpt: Prologue
The Review:
Kate "Puck" Connely and her two brothers are orphans fighting to save their home. They'll do anything to keep bread on the table. But when Benjamin Malvern threatens to take away their home and her brother Gabe starts thinking of leaving the island for the mainland, Puck enters herself into the Scorpio Races to save not only her home but to keep her family together.
The story centers around the water horses called the capaill uisce. They're responsible for the deaths of Puck's parents, and their the animal she'll have to ride in the Races. Stiefvater is delving deeper into the fantasy genre in this story to create an amazing world that really revolves around the capaill uisce. There are human narrators but the greatest characters in the story are the capaill uisce and the island of Thisby itself. We get to see all the struggles on the island, the hardships people face by living there help make it seem like a real place. People die in the Races. Either because their too slow or too trusting of their capaill uisce, who are stunningly beautiful but wild animals all the same. Every year as the citizens of Thisby prepare for the Races in November they also have to deal with the pain of loss and grief that inevitably will come. Sean Kendrick, the other narrator of the story, has won the races before. Four times, to be exact. He's won money and the respect of the people, spending his time working for Benjamin Malvern and his obnoxious son. But the race is even more important this year. If he can win one last time he'll be able to buy the only thing holding him to the island, his capaill uisce Corr. Sean is filled with wisdom about the horses, and his relationship with Corr is absolutely, hands down, my favorite part of the book.
But where Sean is the quiet one, Puck holds her own against the crap other men throw at her for entering the race. The girl is stubborn and her attitude makes for a great female lead in the story. If you're hoping for a page burning romance though, you're going to be disappointed. The development of the relationships in this novel, both between the humans and their horses, becomes as important to the story as the characters become to each other.
Stiefvater wasn't afraid to tackle hard issues in this novel. She didn't skirt around the problems evoked by gender or class in the story. The story feels timeless, which adds to the weight of it as a part of the fantasy genre. The theme of loyalty is incredibly important as the characters become more involved with danger, romance and some mild violence. All of these elements make the story both enchanting and horrific as her truly beautiful prose sinks in.
Notable Scene:
Just to get them all out alive would be a feat. Just to get the horse down to the shore and release it far enough into the ocean that we could get away safe would be impressive. But I can do more than just get them away safe, and they all know it, Mutt Malvern most of all.
But I whisper like the sea in the horse's ear and take a step back from the roving flashlights. One step away from all of them, one step toward the ocean. My sock wicks the tide into my boot. The gray horse is trembling under my hands.
I turn to look at Mutt, and then I let the horse go.

The area around Lake Merritt BART, including Chinatown and Laney College, could see taller buildings, a new park area and more pedestrian and bike-friendly streets in the next 25 years as part of a development effort presented on Saturday. The plan, four years in the making, was developed by the City of Oakland, BART, and the Peralta Community College District.
Representatives from each organization laid out their vision for the neighborhood in Laney College's student center. An audience of more than fifty listened patiently as speakers presented a slide show, then offered feedback on the plan, which will be in the planning stages for at least another year.
The audience reflected the heavily Asian-American neighborhoods just southwest of Lake Merritt, which are the focus of the development effort. Live translation of the presentation was available to speakers of Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese. Signs were available in English, Chinese and Vietnamese.
The plan is meant to shape policy for the city, BART, and Laney College in the neighborhood over the next quarter century. A draft of the plan reviews potential funding mechanisms—which include taxes, loans, grants and developer contributions—but does not assign specific dollar amounts to the proposals.

Military relations have been at the core of the Ankara-Jerusalem entente. These took off in February 1996 when the two sides signed a military-training agreement that had Israeli air force jets flying over Anatolia, making the Turks the first Muslim-majority people to establish a formal military link to Israel.
The end of the entente has just taken place. The Israelis have decided to cancel a $141 million military deal signed with Turkey in 2008, out of concern that the Turks might deliver the state-of-the-art aerial intelligence system based on electro-optic sensors to enemies of Israel.
It's deeply unfortunate that the vagaries of Turkey's electoral politics permitted an Islamist party to dominate the country in 2002 — but at least Israel (and France) recognize this development, unlike the U.S., which persists in thinking all is well.

You may view the 5 minute update this week via audio:
In this week's 5 minute update, we focused on:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The prospects for war with Syria and Iran
Given that the current peace process between Israel and the Palestinians is suspended because of lack of agreement on how to advance the process from their January talks held in Jordan, Mahmood Abbas said that he plans on making "a dramatic announcement" in the next week regarding the PLO's planned course of action.
Hana Amira, a member of the PLO Executive Committee said that the PA is weighing whether to continue its present security and economic cooperation with Israel. Furthermore, the Palestinians have said that they will also explore the possibility of once again approaching the UN Security Council and General Assembly to obtain some form of official recognition as a state.
Regarding Jerusalem, speaking at an International Conference for the Defense of Jerusalem in Doha, Qatar, PA President Mahmood Abbas said, "The Israeli occupation authorities are using the ugliest and most dangerous means to implement plans to erase and remove the Arab-Islamic and the Christian character of east Jerusalem." In doing so, he made no mention of Jerusalem's Jewish history. In addition, Abbas called on Arabs and Muslims to visit Jerusalem in the face of what he called Israel's accelerated efforts to Judaize the city. An Israeli official responded by saying that if the Palestinians continues to deny reality and totally negate Jewish rights in Jerusalem then there can be no basis for peace and co-existence.
An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.
The link to these articles are as follows:
1) Palestinian Authority threatens to 'reevaluate' its agreements with Israel
2) 'Peace can't be based on ignoring the truth about J'lem
Historically, Syria has had a policy of supporting the PLO terrorist group Hamas based in the Gaza Strip over Fatah who is based in the West Bank and who is headed by Mahmood Abbas. In fact, Syria allowed Hamas to set up a base in Damascus. Syria was the only country that agreed to host Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal and some of his top aides after they were expelled from Jordan and stripped of their Jordanian citizenship more than a decade ago. Since the uprising of mostly Sunni Muslims against Bashar Assad's government which started nearly a year ago, Hamas did not publicly take sides. However, Hamas has now decided to oppose Assad. Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that Hamas "lauds the Syrian people who seek freedom, democracy and reform." signaling that the historical cooperation between Syria and Hamas is now over.
Iran's defense minister announced that it is Iran's strategic policy to strengthen the Lebanese army. Iran is a key supporter of the Lebanese group Hezbollah who are Shi'ite Muslims who are aligned with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Russia continues to support the Syrian government. In the face of increasingly harsh criticism from the West, Russia is holding firm in its opposition to international intervention in Syria warning the U.S. and other nations against any temptation to resort to actions like the NATO airstrikes in Libya that helped topple Moammar Gadhafi.
"I strongly hope that the United States and other nations will learn from the sad experience and won't try to resort to a forceful scenario in Syria," Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wrote in a foreign policy article published in the Moscow News. In order to try to weaken the government of Bashar Assad, the European Union announced new sanctions on Syria. Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal was quite angry when he stormed out of a "Friends of Syria" conference attended by 70 nations in Tunis on Feb. 24 after they seemed agreeable to the US plan at the moment to avoid direct military intervention against the Assad government. Presently, the US seems to be willing to keep Assad in power in hopes of trying to reach a negotiated settlement with Iran regarding their nuclear program. Benjamin Netanyahu is opposed to the Obama administration's current interconnected policies on Syria and Iran. Regarding the conflict within Syria itself, the Syrian government have pushed back the Syrian opposition from controlling the city of Homs. As a result, according to a senior US official, the US sees "no fracturing" of the Syrian regime and assesses that Assad could remain in power for some time to come if the situation (the weakening of the Syrian opposition against Assad) does not change.
A war with Syria where Damascus is destroyed (Isaiah 17) is a tribulation event.

2) Iran declares strategic policy to strengthen Lebanese army
3) Analysis: Russia holds firm against West on Syria, citing 'bitter experience' of Libya
4) European Union orders new sanctions against Syria
5) To draw Iran into nuclear talks, Obama avoids ousting Assad
6) Syrian rebels leave embattled Homs stronghold
7) U.S. Sees 'No Fracturing' Of Al-Assad Regime
The United States continues its efforts to put the economic squeeze upon Iran in order to try to persuade it to stop their nuclear program. In seeking to do so, the U.S. Treasury Department broke up a Dubai-based banking operation that the US believed was being used as Iran's primary means for evading international sanctions and processing its oil sales to other countries. In addition, the US had direct words to say to India, China and Turkey on reducing their dependence for and eliminating their purchases of Iranian oil in an effort to encourage them to join the Western led international boycott on buying Iranian oil. However, these countries said that they will continue to import oil from Iran.
Anthony Blinken, National Security Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, said that US policy on Iran is aimed at "buying time and continuing to move this problem into the future. Blinken also said that the U.S. believes that Iran "has not made a decision to produce a nuclear weapon, they are not on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon, and there is still time and space for diplomacy to work." Blinken said that the Obama Administration's policy of diplomacy backed by tough sanctions is taking its toll on the Iranian economy, which cannot access 70% of its foreign reserves, finds it increasingly difficult to acquire materials for its nuclear industry and is being boycotted by "a list that reads like a 'Who's Who' of leading companies of the world.
Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu rejected the idea that renewed international negotiations with Iran aimed at preventing the country from building a nuclear weapon will work.
"It could do again what it has done before, it could pursue or exploit the talks as they've done in the past to deceive and delay so that they can continue to advance their nuclear program and get to the nuclear finish line by running up the clock, so to speak. I think the international community should not fall into this trap," he said.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials say they won't warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Iranian nuclear facilities according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with recent high level talks held between the US and Israel. Israeli officials said that if they eventually decide a strike on Iran is necessary, they would keep the Americans in the dark to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israel's potential attack. The U.S. has been working with the Israelis for months to persuade them that an attack would be only a temporary setback to Iran's nuclear program.
Netanyahu will travel to the US where he will address the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC's annual policy conference which will be held from March 4-6. While in the US, Netanyahu will meet with US President Barack Obama on March 5 in a meeting which will largely center around Iran's continued development of its nuclear program. According to a senior Israeli official, Netanyahu will use the opportunity with Obama to publicly harden his position against Iran. Netanyahu wants Obama to make further-reaching declarations on what action the US is likely to take to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon than just the vague assertion that "all options are on the table," which has been the US stated position on the matter. In particular, Netanyahu wants Obama to state unequivocally that the United States is preparing for a military operation in the event that Iran crosses certain "red lines".
Officials in both Israel and the US acknowledge a serious lack of trust between Israel and the United States with regard to the issue of a possible strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. US President Barack Obama intends to tell Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that he wants to solve the Iranian nuclear problem "permanently, as opposed to temporarily" based upon an interview that Obama had with the magazine, The Atlantic. In an effort to show his commitment to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, Obama said, "I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff." He went on to say that "Both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say". In a further effort to show that the US is serious about its military option against Iran's nuclear program, US Pentagon officials said on March 1 that military options are being prepared which includes providing refueling for Israeli planes and include attacking the pillars of the Iranian regime.
Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak flew to the US to try and work out with US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in a meeting held on Feb. 29 a formula for bridge the tactical differences between the US and Israel regarding how to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat. However, DEBKA reports that Barak came back to Israel to inform Netanyahu that he had failed. In order to emphasize the US position of negotiations with Iran over a military confrontation, White House Spokesman Jay Carney said: "I think we have been clear about this – that any (Israeli) military action in that region threatens greater instability in the region, because Iran borders both Afghanistan and Iraq – we have civilian personnel in Iraq, we have military personnel as well as civilians in Afghanistan." Carney added "But our approach right now is to continue to pursue the diplomatic path that we've taken, combined with very aggressive sanctions." Obama is waiting anxiously to see if the Iranians turn up for nuclear talks with the five UN Security Council permanent members and Germany in Istanbul, Turkey next month.
In response, senior American and Israeli officials said on March 1 that this statement confirmed that the president had turned down two key Israeli requests:
1. To set final and absolute red lines for Iran's nuclear program which, if crossed, would provide the grounds for the US and Israel to strike its nuclear sites.
2. To stop stating that the US policy toward Iran consists of "all options are on the table' for stopping Iran gaining a nuclear weapon and instead move toward a more definite language for specifying American military contingencies.
In a recent New York Times article, former Israel Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin wrote:
"Asking Israel's leaders to abide by America's timetable, and hence allowing Israel's window of opportunity to be closed, is to make Washington a de facto proxy for Israel's security – a tremendous leap of faith for Israelis faced with a looming Iranian bomb."
When Obama said "I think the Israeli people understand it," in reference to the refrain "all options are on the table," he ignored the widening gap between his take on the state of Iran's nuclear program and the conclusions reached by Israel's political, military and intelligence leaders and experts.
The Israeli view was laid out clearly by Yadlin when he wrote, "That moment of decision will occur when Iran is on the verge of shielding its nuclear facilities from a successful attack – what Israel's leaders have called the zone of immunity."
US intelligence and the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, are convinced that Iran is already in the second stage and possibly the third of its operation to shielding its nuclear facilities in one or more zones of immunity.
This ominous development is ignored in the US president's interview.
When he declared, "The Israeli people understand that the United States isn't bluffing when it says 'all options are on the table,'" Obama no doubt recalled the disagreement with Netanyahu going back six months when the Israeli prime minister asked him privately on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to lay down a US-Israeli consensus on red lines for Iran's nuclear program, beyond which the US President would be committed to strike Iran. In return, Israel would promise to refrain from attacking Iran and follow America's lead on the issue.
The US president turned him down.
Israel has not relinquished its position, which Yadlin put very clearly: "What is needed is an ironclad American assurance that if Israel refrains from acting in its own window of opportunity – and all other options have failed to halt Tehran's nuclear quest – Washington will act to prevent a nuclear Iran while it is still within its power to do so."
The absence of that American assurance is keeping Israel from a commitment to refrain from attacking Iran.
A US war with Iran is a tribulation event.
The link to these articles is as follows:
1) US Treasury Department cuts Iran's cash pipeline, sources say
2) US gets tough with India, China on Iranian oil
3) U.S. policy aimed at 'buying time' with Iran, says senior official
4) Netanyahu warns against renewed talks with Iran
5) Israel wouldn't warn U.S. before Iran strike, says intelligence source
6) PM: Meeting with Obama to focus on Iran
7) Netanyahu will ask Obama to threaten Iran strike
8.) Obama seeks concrete resolution to Iranian threat
9) Pentagon prepares "aerial refueling" for Israeli planes striking Iran
10) Obama cautions against "a premature attack" on Iran, rejects red lines
From a Biblical prophetic perspective, the reason why the God of Israel would allow these events to happen is because it will result in the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the reunification of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ephraim and Judah).
We will to be "watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem" and we will not rest until the God of Israel makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62).
Shalom in Yeshua the Messiah,
