MLB Draft Day Big Board

It's draft day!!!!... which means it's time to roll out my full blown big board. Part 1 of the preview can be found here. Part 2 here, and part 3 here.

This post is a compilation and update to those posts, and will also add some comparisons of where my rankings are vs where the industry is. I'm going to keep the majority of post 3 on the side this year, with the idea that different players I referenced in the 3rd post might become more valuable depending on how things go. For example, if Delvin Perez falls to me, I'll plan to bump someone like Clate Schmidt up a bunch of my board (senior sign + later-than-expected HS'er should leave me room to sign everyone.

One more thing... D1 posted its top 150 prospects draft prospects (I left their rankings out since they're subscriber only), whereas BA did 500, and so did PG. If you're reading this blog, you either have WAY too much time on your hands, or you're someone who should try to support those sites. They're incredible.

Without further ado:

Player	School	Level	Notes	BA Rank	PG Rank
Corey Ray	Louisville	JR	Ray has been at the top of my board for around 18 months. Nothing hes's done made me change my mind.	7	3
Nick Senzel	Tennessee	JR	Nothing has changed here	6	7
Dakota Hudson	Mississippi State	JR	Nothing has changed here, either	14	15
Riley Pint	St. Thomas Aquinas	HS	The first HS on my board. I can't imagine he is falling to the 8th pick, but stranger things have happened	2	2
Justin Dunn	Boston College	JR	Here is the first diversion for me from my first draft board. Dunn's stock is soaring, in part because of how he's pitched in the post season.	22	33
Ian Anderson	Shenendehowa	HS	If he lasts until my back to back picks, this would be a steal	12	9
Delvin Perez	International Baseball Academy,PR	HS	Getting popped for PED's has me worried, but with 3 pick in the first round, I'd roll the dice	9	9
Chris Okey	Clemson	JR	nothing changed here	52	47
Anthony Kay	Connecticut	JR	nothing changed here	35	43
Ronnie Dawson	Ohio State	JR	He's had some serious helium, so I'm moving him up to make sure I'm in striking distance when the 3rd round comes around (maybe even the 2nd round)	53	143
Logan Gray	Austin Peay	JR	I don't understand how this guy is ranked so low. I can't get the Ryan Braun comp out of my head	169	140
Daulton Jefferies	Cal	JR	A missed season hurts, but it could also mean more bullets in the gun	61	45
Garrett Hampson	Long Beach State	JR	I've flip flopped on whether Hampson or Solak fits into my draft board, and on decision day, I can't get away from the idea that Hampson has a higher upside (and a lower floor). I think I'm putting Hampson here so that all of the pitching staffs on his teams get to play with a quality SS (probably a philosophical thought for another day)	156	201
Jeff Belge	Henniger	HS	He slots in nicely here, and with the actual draft, might slide up depending on how things are going	68	168
Ryan Moseley	Texas Tech	JR	nothing changed here	NA	NA
Kobie Taylor	Portsmouth	HS	He might move up in the actual draft	259	351
Andrew Calica	UC Santa Barbara	JR	nothing changed here	235	251
Keegan Thompson	Auburn	JR	I'm moving him up a bit, because I think he's going to be a tremendous value	232	392
Clate Schmidt	Clemson	SR	nothing changed here	493	NA
Trey York	Eastern Tennessee	SR	nothing changed here	NA	NA
Mitchell Jordan	Stetson	JR	nothing changed here	418	NA
Cooper Hammond	Miami	JR	nothing changed here	NA	NA

There it is

Happy Draft Day!
