This is from Perfect Game's CA overview. They had him as #67 prospect in the state:

 

67. DANNY KELLER, rhp, Newbury Park HS

Long limbs/long arm action at projectable 6-5/185; 88-93 mph FB, flashes good CU spin, raw mechanics.

And from BA:

 

Projectable 6-foot-6, 185-pound righthander Danny Keller was one of the stars of November's Jesse Flores Memorial All-Star Game, showing a 91-92 mph two-seam fastball and a sharp three-quarters curve. The breaking ball had less power at February's MLB Urban Youth Invitational, and his feel for pitching did not impress scouts as the spring progressed. He struggled to throw strikes, thanks in part to an unrefined delivery that includes some head violence. He has arm strength—he topped out at 93 this spring—and upside, and a club could take a shot at him as high as the fifth- to seventh-round range, though he seems to fit better a few rounds later than that. He is committed to Cal State Northridge.

Pick 281 (Round 9): CF Malcolm Dowell

I would really like to see some MI depth soon. 3B would be nice as well.
This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

Round 8. 3B Dustin Houle (Langley SS, British Columbia)

 

Houle probably fits best behind the plate, but I’m sticking with him as a third baseman for now. He is a talented player who will need a lot of minor league reps. That shouldn’t be a problem for him because , as one of the youngest draft-eligible players this year, youth is on his side.

Round 10 Mike Strong

 

Mike Strong, Oklahoma State

 

Strong has already been through this routine before. The White Sox drafted him out of an Iowa JuCo in the 25th round two years ago, and last year it was the Athletics doing the honors by calling his name in the 22nd round. Strong pitched well last spring (66 K and 36 BB in 64 IP) and has been even better this year (39 K and 8 BB in 30.2 IP), but I should warn you that he’s not some high-upside superprospect. Strong falls into the Adam Warren category of “solid college senior,” meaning he’s likely to contribute in some capacity but not necessarily at the front of the rotation. It’s okay, guys like that are absolutely useful. Listed a 6-foot-0, 187 lbs., Strong gets ground balls with an 88-91 mph fastball and a curveball in the mid-70?s, deceiving hitters with a slightly lower arm slot (higher than sidearm, but lower than 3/4). That package is good enough to project his floor as a lefty specialist, which is great return when you consider that he’s again expected to go in a double-digit round.

Goforth was #96 in Keith Law's rankings. Says he's a reliever. Fastball has touched 98 and also throws a good cut fastball. Law doesn't think much of his other pitches.

 

If he touches 98, I'm not too worried about much else. I've always wanted the Brewers to draft more hard throwing relievers in the 6-10 range. Those soft-tossing sinkerballer starters they usually pick have never helped. Nice to see the Brewers finally Goforth with this.

Baseball America on Tommy Toledo:

Tommy Toledo... came in

as [a] highly regarded recruit but have found himself pitching out of

the bullpen on a deep 2011 staff. Toledo was a third-round pick in 2007,

was in the rotation in 2008 and missed the 2009 season with Tommy John

surgery. He came back last year in a sporadic role and has pitched

mostly in relief this season, reaching 94-95 mph.
