John Sickles' Best Bets For Draft




**Players Who Should Go Early That Scare Me, and Not In A Good Way: Brett Jackson (too many strikeouts), Kyle Heckathorn (ugly arm action), Jiovanni Mier (I question the bat), Tanner Scheppers (I'm paranoid about bad shoulders) and Donavan Tate (tools galore, but awfully expensive for a guy without a guaranteed bat).


**Best Bets To Sneak Into The First Round Unexpectedly: Jeff Malm; Rich Poythress; Slade Heathcott; Tommy Joseph; Mychal Givens. Signability will be key, and I think these guys could slot into the second half of the first round for the right teams, displacing guys with higher price tags.


**Best Bets To Fall Out Of The First Round: Donavan Tate; Kyle Gibson; Matthew Purke. All for obvious reasons, Tate and Purke for cost, Gibson for health.
