Texas A&M moved from No. 2 to No. 1 in the final poll. Oregon also moved up a spot to No. 2, followed by four Southeastern Conference squads — previously top-ranked Florida, Arkansas (up from 6), LSU (up from 8th) and South Carolina. In all, the SEC has eight of the top 20 teams.
Texas A&M also moved from No. 2 to No. 1 in the women's poll, switching places with Oregon. Third is LSU, which leads five SEC teams in the top 20.

Louisville's men improved from 37th to 29th in the team rankings. The Cardinals are led by a pair of top 10-ranked athletes — Corey Thorne, No. 2 in the steeplecase, and Tone Belt, No. 6 in the high jump.
Western Kentucky jumped 14 spots to No. 37. The Hilltoppers are led by Gavin Smellie, ranked No. 2 in the 200, and Mandhla Mgijima, No. 7 in the long jump.
Eastern Kentucky moved from No. 163 to 137. The Colonels' lone NCAA qualifier is 5,000-meter runner Joseph Maina (No. 27).
UK's women have four NCAA qualifiers, all ranked 17th or better: Ashley Muffet (No. 4, discus), Kristin Smith (No. 7, hammer throw), Ashley Trimble (No. 11, heptathlon) and Emilee Strot (No. 17, discus).
Louisville is ranked No. 35, an improvement of 14 spots. The Cards are led by Jere' Summers, who ranks sixth in the discus and 10th in the shot.

As one of the most respected and beloved players in baseball history, Hall of Famer Stan Musial made a major impact not only on the Cardinals organization, but on the game as a whole.So it's no surprise that remembrances poured in from around the game on Saturday night, after the St. Louis legend died at age 92, surrounded by family at his home in Ladue, Mo. "Stan the Man" played his entire 22-year career for the Cardinals, making a record 24 straight All-Star Games and holding 17 Major League records upon his retirement after the 1963 season. "We have lost the most beloved member of the Cardinals family," Cardinals chairman William DeWitt Jr. said. "Stan Musial was the greatest player in Cardinals history and one of the best players in the history of baseball. "The entire Cardinals organization extends its sincere condolences to Stan's family, including his children, Richard, Gerry, Janet and Jean, as well as his 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. We join fans everywhere in mourning the loss of our dear friend and reflect on how fortunate we all are to have known 'Stan the Man.'"
Also once deemed, "baseball's perfect warrior, baseball's perfect knight," by former Commissioner Ford C. Frick, Musial was known for his ability as well as his character and grace. He racked up a .331 batting average, 3,630 hits, 475 home runs, three Most Valuable Player Awards and three World Series championships, but he was also lauded for how he conducted himself, including an astounding zero ejections in more than 3,000 career games."Major League Baseball has lost one of its true legends in Stan Musial, a Hall of Famer in every sense and a man who led a great American life," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was the heart and soul of the historic St. Louis Cardinals franchise for generations, and he served his country during World War II. A recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011, Stan's life embodies baseball's unparalleled history and why this game is the national pastime. "As remarkable as 'Stan the Man' was on the field, he was a true gentleman in life. All of Major League Baseball mourns his passing, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, admirers and all the fans of the Cardinals." Musial has been enshrined at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown since receiving 93.2 percent of the vote in 1969, his first year of eligibility. He was the longest tenured living Hall of Famer. "Stan was a favorite in Cooperstown, from his harmonica rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' during Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies, to the reverence he commanded among other Hall of Fame members and all fans of the game," Hall of Fame chairman Jane Forbes Clark said. "More than just a baseball hero, Stan was an American icon, and we will very much miss him in Cooperstown." Added Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson: "Stan will be remembered in baseball annals as one of the pillars of our game, with his many successes on the diamond, the passion with which he played, and his engaging personality. He utilized his trademark corkscrew swing to perfection, torching National League pitching to the tune of seven batting titles and gaudy career numbers. He played so well when the Cardinals visited Ebbets Field, Brooklyn fans dubbed him 'The Man', and he was, in every sense. The mold broke with Stan. There will never be another like him." Musial's No. 6 was the first retired number in Cardinals history, and he remains the franchise leader in 11 offensive categories. He has been immortalized with a huge bronze statue outside Busch Stadium since 1968. "The president was saddened to learn of the passing of baseball legend Stan Musial," White House spokesperson Joanna Rosholm said in a statement. "In 2010, the president was honored to award Stan "the Man" Musial the nation's highest civilian honor -- the Medal of Freedom -- for his unrivaled passion for the sport and the example he set for all young Americans. The president's thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones."
"Stan Musial always has been and always will be Cardinal baseball," fellow Cardinals legend and Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith tweeted. "A wonderful, kind humanitarian and a blessed life. RIP."
Stan Musial always has been and always will be Cardinal Baseball. A wonderful, kind humanitarian and a blessed life. RIP #stlcardinals #mlb— Ozzie Smith (@STLWizard) January 20, 2013
Smith wasn't the only member of Cooperstown to share his thoughts on Musial."It is a very sad day for me," said Giants great Willie Mays, a contemporary of Musial's. "I knew Stan very well. He used to take care of me at All-Star games, 24 of them. He was a true gentleman who understood the race thing and did all he could. Again, a true gentleman on and off the field -- I never heard anybody say a bad word about him, ever." Six-time All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling, who appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year, tweeted: "Thank you Mr Musial, your life was a clinic in respect, integrity and honor. The game is better for having you. RIP."
Thank you Mr Musial, your life was a clinic in respect, integrity and honor. The game is better for having you. RIP— Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) January 20, 2013
Current players chimed in, too, well aware of Musial's hallowed place in baseball history."Sad to hear about Stan the Man, it's an honor to wear the same uniform," Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday tweeted. "Prayers to the Musial family."
Sad to hear about Stan the Man, it's an honor to wear the same uniform. Prayers to the Musial family— matt holliday (@mattholliday7) January 20, 2013
The Angels' Albert Pujols also took to Twitter to express his condolences. Pujols developed a special relationship with Musial during his 11 stellar seasons with the Cardinals."My prayers are with the Musial family tonight," Pujols said. "I will cherish my friendship with Stan for a long as I live. Rest in Peace."
My prayers are with the Musial family tonight. I will cherish my friendship with Stan for a long as I live. Rest in Peace.— Albert Pujols (@PujolsFive) January 20, 2013
Added Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander on Twitter: "We lost a baseball legend today, but his legacy will live on...#StanTheMan."

Musial made an impact even on the game's younger players, as Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg revealed in a tweet referencing the serious right elbow injury he suffered in 2010.
"I'll never forget the kindness Stan Musial showed me when I got hurt," Strasburg said. "He was truly a legend of the game! Here's to Stan 'The Man' Musial. May your legend live on!"

the online public database on land deals
The Land Matrix is an online public database that permits all users to contribute to and improve data on land deals, and for this data to be visualised. The visualisations offer both overviews of the data and complete access to the public database down to the level of an individual deal.
The Land Matrix facilitates the collection and representation of data; encourages citizens, researchers, governments, and companies to provide data and improve the quality of and access to data; and provides a regular and accessible analysis of trends.
You can explore data through multiple entry points, ranging from summaries that provide insight concerning the contents of the database, to direct access to the data for more in-depth exploration and analysis.
The Land Matrix is facilitated by a partnership of organisations with an interest in promoting transparency and accountability in decisions over land and investment through open data. The Land Matrix aims to provide a permanent observatory to which any user can contribute information.
The Land Matrix Public Interface is currently a beta version that is testing its functionality and usability. Please provide any comments on how it could be more useful to you at firstname.lastname@example.com. Your comments will be considered in future upgrades.

Supporters are not responsible
for the choice
and the presentation of the facts
contained on this website.
This interactive dataset is developed by Tactical Studios at Tactical Technology Collective, an international NGO working to enable the effective use of information
for progressive social change, with sinnwerkstatt - Sustainable Full Service Media Agency.
The Land Matrix includes deals that are made for agricultural production (for food or agrofuel production), timber extraction, carbon trading, mineral extraction, conservation, and tourism. Deals included fulfil the following criteria:
Records are derived from a variety of sources that include information contributed through the Land Matrix website, media reports, reports by international and local organisations and NGOS and field-based research projects, company websites and government records. Sources are partly accessed through two active Internet portals dealing with land transactions: www.commercialpressureonland.org and www.farmlandgrab.org. Company websites and government records are also used where these are available.
Data is collated and entered into the relevant fields of the Land Matrix database. Each record is assigned a reliability code (See table below). Information is sought for over 30 fields for each deal, but for legal reasons only 8 fields are published at this stage. Where possible, data is distributed to partners in host countries for cross-checking. This may be achieved through personal interviews, direct personal knowledge of the transaction, or access to research that has not yet been published.
By using the crowdsourcing function of this website, any user is able to submit details on a deal. This information is cross-checked by the partnership before it is included in the database. Changes may therefore not be reflected immediately. Comments made on existing deals remain on the website, unless the deal is removed from the database
The Land Matrix website only includes data of reliability level 1 or higher, which at the time of launching was about half of the total database. Additional data of the lowest reliability level is being cross-checked for deletion or upgrading for inclusion in the database. However, even data of reliability code 1 or higher is may ultimately be incorrect, due to changes in the deal status over time, wrong source information or human error.
Deals under two additional categories will be made separately accessible on the Land Matrix website, but not included in the aggregate figures or analysis:
The following terminology is used on this website:
Land acquisition: refers to land that is acquired by purchase, lease or concession for commercially-oriented use.
Land deal: in this website, a deal is referred to as a land acquisition that meets the criteria defined under Methodology for Data collection. Deals for contract farming and failed deals are listed separately, and do not contribute to the aggregate data, as they do not meet these criteria.
Investor: refers to the individual, company or state agency that acquires land, including investment funds or for commercial production. This is not a comment on whether the 'investor' actually invests in the land or holds all or part of it for speculative purposes.
Target country: the country in which land is acquired for investment/acquisition.
Investor country: the country from which the investor originates, which is the same as the target country if it is a domestic investor. Investors may be private actors, governments or government-backed private actors. Where they are private actors, governments may not influence their operations nor do they necessarily benefit from them.
Contract farming: pre-agreed supply agreements between farmers and buyers for the supply of agricultural produce. Contract farming arrangements vary widely depending on countries, crops and companies, but generally do not involve acquisition by the external investor of the land under production. Deals involving contract farming are not included in the aggregate figures of the Land Matrix.
Failed deal: a deal which has been announced as under negotiation, but which has subsequently been announced as cancelled or the size of transaction has been revised. Although negotiations may continue, the deal remains classified as a failed deal until such time as there may be an alternative outcome. Failed deals give an indication of the extent of interest in land acquisition, but are not included in the aggregate figures of the Land Matrix.
Please note that while every effort is made to ensure accuracy, The land Deals Matrix partnership and the Land portal do not warrant that all the information on this website is complete or accurate. We invite comments on the accuracy of data displayed. The information is inherently subject to change without notice and may become dated.
Only records and fields that have been subjected to the error-checking process as described under methodology are publicly available on this website. The error-checking process has confirmed that data in the Land Matrix are correct according to the sources given for each record. Whilst the Partnership endeavours to ensure that all errors have been corrected, some may still remain due to human error, source error or changing circumstances. We welcome and encourage the submission of any information that can help improve the accuracy of our records.

Land deals are notoriously un-transparent. In many countries, established procedures for decision-making on land deals do not exist, and negotiations and decisions do not take place in the public realm. Furthermore, various government agencies and levels of government are usually responsible for approving numerous kinds of land deals. Even official data sources in the same country can therefore vary, and none may actually reflect reality on the ground. Decisions are often changed, and this may or may not be communicated publically.
The scope for error in tracking land deals is high. While a rigorous procedure is followed in the collection and checking of data in the Land Matrix, errors are inevitable. The Land Matrix is not intended to be an error-free database. It is rather a tool that facilitates an on-going discussion on land deals that, through crowdsourcing and continued research, will contribute to the continual improvement of the dataset.
The general lack of transparency has an impact, too, on data bias. For example, those few countries with open data policies (e.g. Peru) may as a result appear to have a higher proportion of land deals. Interest of media and researchers is often higher in certain regions (e.g. Africa), on certain investors (e.g. emerging investor countries) and in certain sectors (e.g. biofuels). Foreign investors generally attract more attention than domestic investors.
Data bias may also arise from where the networks of Land Matrix partners are strongest, and conversely underrepresent deals in regions such as Eastern Europe and Central Asia where our networks do not have a strong presence. In addition, there is often a time lag between deals taking place and the information becoming public. The initial dataset posted online was last revised in September 2011, meaning that recent deals are poorly represented.
The trends evident in the database should therefore be taken as indicative, and are likely to change as the data becomes more accurate.

Drawing on the Land Matrix database, this paper contains an in depth analysis of large-scale agricultural land transactions that entail a transfer of rights to use, control or own land, that have been concluded since the year 2000. It particularly focuses on (i) land acquisitions or investments targeting the Global South and Eastern Europe; (ii) transnational deals, excluding deals where only domestic actors are involved; (iii) and deals where the envisioned land use is agricultural.
The report argues that – although it has lost some of its initial pace – the worldwide rush for land is real, going beyond just speculation and strategic positioning. According to the Land Matrix, a large number of contracts have been signed and are being implemented. Operations have started on several projects.
However, as the report shows, the "global land rush" is anything but a simple phenomenon. It involves a large number of target countries with very different investment conditions, as well as a great variety of actors with divers investment motives. Each land deal has its own specific characteristics. While the report gives an overall overview of the phenomenon, it also endeavours to present an in-depth picture of the different large-scale land transactions' specificities.
27 February, 2013
This report is based on a data campaign which seeks to compile reports on land deals at different stages. These deals can only be mere intentions or have been officially concluded. A number of land deals failed, but a significant number become operational, albeit often only on a small fraction of the initially announced area. As this is a dynamic process, our snapshot picture represents the data as it existed at the time of writing (early 2012).
Only a partial dataset has been made publicly available, and as a result of our call for feedback, we received numerous responses regarding the data. The Land Matrix Partnership is working towards an updated dataset, which will become available in spring 2013.
We would like to stress that the aggregate figures presented in this report include not only concluded deals but also deals that were reported to have been announced. Not all announced deals have ultimately concluded, let alone reaching implementation stage. Specifically, on page 20 we clearly state that out of the 83 million ha of land for agricultural deals, only 11.3 million ha have been reported to be actually signed according to "reliable" sources.
The ranking of reliability refers to the degree of reliability of information and not to the status of the preparation and implementation of a deal. This ranking is explained on page 16 of this report. The authors acknowledge that the term "reliable" is open to misunderstanding, as it refers to confidence in the source of data, rather than the implementation status. We should have distinguished more clearly between the reliability of information and implementation status. The authors regret any misunderstanding and misinterpretation based on our formulation.
Any user can submit details of a deal and help us improving the richness and accuracy of the database. The information provided is filtered and cross-checked by the partnership before it is made public.
We are creating an online form that users can easily fill in and submit. In the meantime, if you want to share details of a deal with us, please write to email@example.com
Please also consider that you can add or improve the information of the deals already made public by commenting them individually.

I am the afternoon drive guy and the music director, which is cool because I get to hear brand new releases first. Well, we all do because I think everyone on the air should hear everything they can in terms of new music. I like to watch movies, preferably good ones. L.A. Confidential is my all-time favorite. I like good television, but who doesn't? The Walking Dead isn't just my favorite show currently running; it's the best show I've ever seen. I like traveling and learning who's out there. And I just bought a new bicycle--my last one was stolen--and am really enjoying getting back into riding. That's me, for now. Peace.

Sandy Skoglund: The Cocktail Party
A Surreal Sculptural Installation Made of Cheez Doodles
February 16 | May 8, 2011
Unique Interview Opportunity: Behind the Scenes with Sandy Skoglund
Thursday, February 3, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Artist Sandy Skoglund will be installing The Cocktail Party at the McNay. Don't miss this exclusive press opportunity to preview the sculptural installation and meet Sandy.
(Arrangements for alternate interview times with Skoglund can be made from February 1 to 4).
For the 14th presentation in the ARTMATTERS series of works by contemporary artists, the McNay presents Sandy Skoglund's surreal sculptural installation The Cocktail Party. Recently acquired for the McNay's collection, the installation—accompanied by a large color photograph of the same title—re-creates a typical suburban American cocktail party using Cheez Doodles as surface material, the snack food that leaves its residue on everything that touches it. The photograph features human models while the installation presents only faceless mannequins dressed in cocktail attire and covered in fluorescent orange Cheez Doodles. A few of the installation's mechanized figures perform repetitive movements. The Cocktail Party evokes decadence as Sandy Skoglund transforms reality into a garish dream world where mass-produced food products threaten to consume. An illustrated gallery guide accompanies the exhibition. Click HERE to see the guide.
This exhibition was organized by the McNay Art Museum.
As of December 6, 2010, funding for this exhibition and related programs is provided by the Flora Crichton Visiting Artist Fund, The Ewing Halsell Foundation Endowment for Visiting Artists, and the King Ranch Family Trust Endowment for Visiting Artists.

Nearly doubling the McNay's exhibition space, the Stieren Center includes outdoor sculpture galleries.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (May 4, 2012) – When Dr. R. Michael Koch traveled to Ecuador two years ago to do plastic surgery, he and his team of surgeons were greeted by more than 700 children all hoping to undergo life changing procedures. He expects a similar scene tomorrow when he lands in Ghana.
Dr. Koch, a board certified plastic surgeon with HVHC's Institute for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, will be traveling to Accra in Ghana with the Health and Humanitarian Aid Foundation from May 4 to May 13 to do reconstructive surgery on children and adults.
Follow Dr. Koch's travels on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HudsonValleyHospital
"Reconstructive surgery is just not available either because local doctors don't have the expertise or people cannot afford it,'' said Koch. "If you are poor, there is just no medicine available.''
Koch said that he has done several such missions, traveling to Vietnam, Ecuador and Columbia in past years. On his trip to Ghana with the Health and Humanitarian Aid Foundation he expects to perform surgeries on cleft palates, cleft lips and other facial deformities as well as micro surgery to save limbs.
"You never know what you will encounter. Sometimes you end up doing the unexpected. You do whatever you can to help, '' he said.
In addition to performing surgery at the 37th Military Hospital in Accra, surgeons on the trip will work to train local doctors and medical students to try to improve medical care in Ghana after they leave. A separate team with the HHAF will distribute donations of fortified rice and other staples as well as work on wells to provide clean drinking water for the local residents. The HHAF has completed more than 65 surgical missions in Ghana. To find out more about HHAF visit http://hhafonline.org/home
Dr. R. Michael Koch is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with the New York Group for Plastic Surgery and specializes in cosmetic surgery, breast surgery and microsurgical reconstruction. He received his plastic surgical training at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and also completed an additional yearlong Fellowship in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Born in London, raised in Perthshire, Scotland, and transplanted to Southern California, Dr. Koch attended the University of California at Santa Barbara (BA 1989) and Hahnemann University School of Medicine (MD 1993).

Baking Oven
Heated to an ideal moderate baking temperature - ideal for cakes, biscuits and bread.
Slow Cook Oven
Simmers perfectly by constantly maintaining the oven at just the right temperature for long, slow cooking. This develops flavours and will make even the toughest cut of meat melt-in-the-mouth tender.
Warming Oven
Creates just the right temperature for safely warming plates and serving dishes and for keeping cooked food hot until ready to serve.
What to Expect
From a toasted sandwich to a perfectly risen soufflé, an AGA Cooker excels at every style of cooking. AGA cakes are fluffier, stir-frys wonderfully fast, roasts more succulent and pizzas perfectly crisp. There's nothing an AGA oven cannot do - and everything it does, it does better.
AGA Ovens are Easier to Maintain
Choose an AGA Cooker and you'll notice that the time you spend cleaning is greatly reduced. That's because the ovens and hotplates of an AGA Cooker are virtually self-cleaning. It's simply because they're always on - any spillages are carbonized, so all you have to do is give it the occasional brush out.
No Lingering Food Smells
As you cook in your AGA ovens, food aromas are drawn away and extracted via the flue. This means if you're cooking something pungent like fish, the AGA Cooker will help keep smells to a minimum.

Then again the Twins had plenty of picks to spare. Because of free agent losses last winter like Eddie Guardado and LaTroy Hawkins, Minnesota had three first-round picks and two supplemental round draft picks within the top 39 selections -- unprecedented in the history of the franchise. The Twins wound up drafting 54 players during the two days of the First-Year Player Draft.
"We got so many extra picks, we think we took advantage of that," Twins Scouting Director Mike Radcliff said. "Going in, we thought it was an average draft, nothing more -- if you're amenable to taking high school players, which we are."
Of the 54 players drafted by the organization, 24 were out of high schools. Overall, 33 pitchers were taken. But because of the big five picks early, most of the scouting efforts zeroed in on the early rounds of the draft.
Minnesota got a shortstop it coveted with the 20th pick, Trevor Plouffe of Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif., then used the other four selections to take pitchers they believe can be future starters in lefty Glen Perkins (22nd pick) and right-handers Kyle Waldrop (25th), Matthew Fox (35th) and Jay Rainville (39th).
"We'll be drafting and following guys that might turn out," Radcliff said. "We might spend some money on them eventually. We knew we wouldn't be signing a bunch of guys in this crop on the second day. We focused our resources on the first six or seven or eight rounds."
The Twins only regret was that they were unable to draft a catcher in the first 10 rounds. Other than that, it was a good haul for Minnesota, even if many of them were high school players.
Elsewhere around the AL Central:
Royals: Third baseman Billy Butler, the club's first pick in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft, will be in Kansas City on Wednesday after signing a $1.4 million contract Tuesday.
The 18-year-old shortstop from Jacksonville, Fla., is the cream of Kansas City's current crop, which was split between high ceiling high school talent and near-ready collegians. The Royals' 53 selections included 34 pitchers, nine infielders, eight outfielders and two catchers.
"The college guys are quick movers," general manager Allard Baird said. "They've got a feel for pitching and they're playing at a very high level of college baseball and had success. So I expect those guys to move very quickly."
Indians: The Indians used 30 of their 50 selections on pitchers.
"We pretty much knew from the pool of players we were dealing from in this draft that it was very deep and very lopsided in terms of pitching," said John Mirabelli, Cleveland's Assistant General Manager in charge of scouting. "So one thing that stands out is the abundance of pitching. We try to balance out every one of your drafts, if you can. But this one was tilted, obviously, toward pitching."
The Indians landed one of the better arms in the land in Jeremy Sowers, the Vanderbilt product rated the best lefty in the draft by Baseball America. Sowers should be on the fast track to the big leagues, he is that good. But the projected talent level of the pitchers the Tribe took after Sowers is less certain. It is a group with potential but also with question marks.
Among the pitchers the Indians selected after Sowers were Ohio State lefty Scott Lewis, who underwent Tommy John surgery two years ago; Florida right-hander Justin Hoyman, Stanford right-hander Mark Jecmen, Vanderbilt right-hander Jeffrey Sues and Villanova right-hander Adrian Schau.
White Sox: The White Sox selected the impact player they were looking for in Josh Fields, the third baseman from Oklahoma State. Chicago also went hard after lefties, taking 10 southpaws among their 54 selections.
That list includes Clemson hurler Tyler Lumsden, the pitcher selected as a supplemental first-round pick, and Wes Whisler from UCLA and Noblesville, Ind. Fields or Lumsden could have the quickest impact at the Major League level, according to White Sox senior director of player personnel Duane Shafferr. Left-hander Ray Liotta, selected in the second round from Gulf Coast Community College, could be the sleeper of the draft, and Donny Lucy, also a second-round selection, gives the White Sox a much-needed frontline catcher in the minor leagues.
"We took the organization and filled a lot of the holes," said Shaffer, who said the team drafted heavy collegiately at the top and finished with a great deal of high school players.
Tigers: For the first time since 2001, the Tigers selected collegians with each of their first six picks. Four of the first five were right-handed pitchers.
Top pick Justin Verlander is one of the best pitching prospects in the land and expected to move quickly up the organizational ladder.
Verlander's velocity reportedly tops out at 99 miles per hour. That made him the hardest throwing college prospect in the draft, but fifth-round pick Collin Mahoney comes close. While Baseball America ranked Verlander as having the best fastball of draft-eligible college pitchers, it ranked Mahoney second.
