For those googling at home, Conley appears to go by “Kyle” and not Brooks.

On Washington’s school site they have that Conley redshirted his Sophomore year due to surgery on his left, non-throwing, shoulder. Had 19 HRs his RS-Soph and Jr years and if you say it is a pitchers park and plays in the Pac-10 that is some pop. A pretty big kid too at 6-4 210.

RE: stidham (http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/collegebaseball/2009/teams/17_fsu.aspx)

The lefthanded-hitting Stidham fills a need at shortstop this spring for the Seminoles after playing third base as a freshman and second a year ago. His limited range makes him more suited for second or third in pro ball, but he is steady if unspectacular no matter which infield position he plays. Stidham’s bat is his best tool; he routinely puts the ball in play while showing flashes of raw power. Though he projects as just a sixth- to 10th-round prospect for this year’s draft, Stidham coule be the first FSU players selected—unless the more-talented D’Vontrey Richardson can shake off the rust from two years away from the game and have a breakout season.
