13th: Adam Abraham - 3B, Michigan, 3/27/87
14th: Carlos Moncrief - RHP, Chipola JC, 11/3/88
15th: Jason Rodriguez - 3B, U Nevada-Reno, 12/6/85
16th: Glenn House - LHP, Picayne Memorial HS, 9/29/89

I don't know much about these guys, but am sure Denny will have much to say later. Fedroff is supposedly a high upside guy who will be a hard sign. Baseball America says the following:

Tim Fedroff turned 21 early this season and is a prospect for 2008. At 5-foot-11, 182 pounds, Fedroff is not an imposing figure, but he has strong forearms and wrists and packs a powerful punch at the plate. With a compact lefthanded swing, Fedroff has hit for average and power this season, leading the Tar Heels with 12 home runs in the regular season. An above-average runner out of the box, Fedroff can put pressure on the defense with his speed, as he consistently posts sub-4.0-second times to first base. In the outfield he has a fringe-average arm, making him more of a candidate for left field at the pro level.
