Power was the rarest commodity in this June's major league draft.

Scout Matt Higginson saw power from outfielder Brett Siddall of Windsor, Ont., and made him the Oakland Athletics' 13th-round selection.
"His power was much more noticeable this year," Higginson said as Siddall bumped his home run total from three to 10 for coach Mike McRae's Canisius Golden Griffs.
"Brett's track record was three very good years at Canisius and it helped he had a good summer in the Northwoods League too," said Higginson.
