- Daz Cameron- Mike Cameron has a spot on my all time favorite team, and if we assume his kid will be just a little bit better, he'a a perennial all start, going 15/15 or 20/20 every year while winning gold gloves. He's player I most want in this draft.
- Alex Bregman- I feel obligated to have Bregman high, because the ceiling is crazy. But, I don't know what he will become. Troy Glaus? Brandon Wood? I just don't know. With the 13th pick in the draft, I'm guessing he won't be available to me, and I'm sort of relieved about it.
- Dansby Swanson- He isn't going to be the next Derek Jeter, but he is going to be a very good hitter who plays a quality SS. Jhonny Peralta with a bit of a better glove?
- Walker Buehler- I'm a fan of a guy who starts out in the bullpen, earns his innings, and then dominates when he is supposed to do so. That's Buehler in a nutshell.
- Ian Happ- The best college hitter in this draft, and possibly the player I'm most hoping ends up on my roster.
- Kyle Funkhouser- Like Buehler, with a higher floor, but a lower ceiling
- James Kapriellian- More than a 9 K/9, right around 3:1 K/BB, a proven warrior. Sign me up
- Chris Shaw-Kyle Schwarber without the hype? A Northeast bat? Sign me up.
- John Aiello-This is my "out of whack pick," but here is a switch hitter who could end up somewhere between a Jed Lowrie and Carlos Beltran. I'm on board with reaching to make sure this guy ends up in my system
- Justin Garza-I'm probably higher on Garza than most, but if his downside is that of his brothers, that's one heck of a pitecher.
- Jake Lemoine- Lemoine was going to be a top 10 pick. He's had an awful season, making me think there s an injury issue. Like the Bluejays (Jeff Hoffman) or Nationals (Lucas Giolito), I have no problem picking up a player who's looking at TJ surgery
- Rhett Wiseman- WIseman would have been a Northeast bat I was all about previously (in fact, he was when I added him to my strat team). I'm hoping to pick up Wiseman
- Elih Marrero-His dad is one of my all time favs. This kid has some serious potential
- Joe DeMers- Potential for 3 above average pitches
- David Berg- When I wrote about my draft tiers, I discussed how I'll usually reach for a college reliever. His numbers are absurd.
- Riley Thompson-
- Kyle Molnar- Ground ball pitcher with some upside
- Riley Ferrell-
- Chandler Day-
- Benton Moss-College Senior with pinpoint control. He'll move quickly, but may top out as a long man in the pen (and that's OK).
- Sutton Whiting- Elite defense, very good speed. He's probably not a starter, but as a defensive sub in the Poor Man's Pokey Reese mold, I'm on board.
- Garret Cleavinger- I'm a sucker for a power LHRP later in the draft
- Ty Moore- He's a gamer who walked 30 times and struck out 19. The ~.430 OBP works for me.
- Brady Aiken-There is no way he slides until late... but if he is there in, for example, the 6th round, I'd have to move up and pick him up.
Mainly views on baseball (MLB, Minor and College), with an occasional post about other sports thrown in.
