Canadian Baseball Network: Top draft prospects

The 2013 amateur draft takes place in just over two weeks, which means MLB scouts and executives are traveling around to get last looks at prospects before June 6.

Some scouting expeditions will include stops in Canada to assess top talent North of the border, as a number of promising Canadians are eligible for this year’s draft — including four of the players in Baseball America’s top 250.

The Canadian Baseball Network has a list of top eligible Canadians; here are the top ten players:
