Freddy Zamora's ticket to a high draft slot is his glove.  The problem with most college SS's is they just don't have the defensive tools to play the position in the majors.  Zamora has plus range, hands and arm and can easily field the position at the highest levels.  The question with Zamora is the bat.  He has a high contact approach and the power did tick up to 6 HR's his sophomore season, but most teams are looking for more power even at the SS position in the majors these days.  He does have speed to steal a base, although he was hampered by a hammy last spring.  He does have enough size to produce power.  If there's a team out there that thinks they can develop it, he could go late first round.  Otherwise he's more of a round 3-4 type.
