1. Olivet Killer Eagles- Robinson Cano *Pick confirmed by owner*
2. Hackensack Bulls- Adrian Gonzalez *Top 5yr corner infielder in the draft. Gives the Bulls some pop.*
3. South Texas Heat- Troy Tulowitski *Top SS in the draft. 5yr contract on a tough position to fill with quality. Jose Bautista *Stats too much for Miracles to pass up.*
4. Atlantic Surge- Justin Upton * Top OF in the draft. Solid 5yr contract.*
5. Julian Javelina- Jose Bautista *Best offensive player in this draft. Age concerns drop him to 5th. Steal here!
6. Flying Squirels- Andrew McCutcheon *Real solid OF who produces a little bit of everything across the board. Has the potential to become elite. Solid 5yr contract.*
7. Oviedo Knights- Jose Reyes *One of the top 3 SS in the draft. Moving to Miami should improve his numbers even more. Knights get a guy they really like.*
8. Dallas Red Birds- Mark Texiera *Power hitting 1B in Yankees lineup. Upgrade over Ryan Howard in previous years. Redbirds get a solid 3yr contract*
9. Olivet Killer Eagels- Hanley Ramirez *Top 3 talent who slides to #9 do to lackluster 2011. Could be steal of the draft if HanRam tries*
10. North Texas Rangers- Mike Stanton *Top young power hitting OF/player in the draft. In the Marlins lineup big numbers expected.
11. Dallas Redbirds- Elvis Andrus *Top SS on the board. Redbirds get a player they like and are familiar with. Real good production at top of the Rangers lineup.*
12. Michigan Miracles- Josh Hamilton *Top OF on the board if you can overlook injury risk. Miracles do overlook them and expect big production for 3 years out of this Rangers slugger.*
13. Mid Michigan Tigers- Hunter Pence *Bes OF available. Pence is solid across the board and can be counted on for 3 years.
14. Rochester Red Sox- To Be Determined
15. North Texas Rangers- Elvis Andrus *Top SS on the board. Adrian gets his Rangers player at a position of need. Real good production at top of the Rangers lineup.*
16. Arizona Desert Swarm- Cliff Lee *Top SP in the draft. Champs get a steal here. Pick of luxury taking BPA at #16. Solid 3yr contract for a pitcher."
You forgot 1.14 Bucky Dent... or is it Aaron Boone? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd take Tulo if he's there and Bautista is gone, but ZImmerman is my 5-year player. Tulo would get a three.
ReplyDeleteBroskey has said repeatedly he's going to take Tex, and told me over the weekend that he moved Butler to make room for Tex. Not sure how to say this, but Broskey isn't, uh...clever...yeah, we'll say clever....enough to construct that elaborate of a bluff. :) (I kid, I kid)
Look the guys in front of me will have brain farts. Leave me to choose from Bautista or Upton.. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think a lot of the picks are similar I based it off of who I think they should take more than who they will take. Much like Mel Kiper in the NFL Drafts its about who the guy writing up the mock thinks is the best option.
ReplyDeleteWOW Jamie, low-blow. You sure talk allot of smack for being in the draft lottery 5 of the last 8 years. :-) (kid.kid)
ReplyDeleteI prefer to look at it as having been in the Championship Playoffs two of the previous four years (and missed a third by like a game last year). And that four-year run includes a title, which is more than some can say.
ReplyDeleteI still think Renner goes with Tulo, Squire goes with Upton and I get Bautista. Sorry Reynolds, I don't think you'll sniff Bautista or Upton. Just a hunch...
