6/5/10

MOCK: - Prospect Junkies

1. Washington Nationals: Bryce Harper - C - Southern Nevada. R-L - 6'3" 205. 10.16.92. I wasn't thrilled to hear that his last play as a scholar athlete was him getting ejected for a second time this season. But when I saw the video it was 1) a bad call and 2) a quick trigger. (5.21 Harper, 5.29 Harper)

2. Pittsburg Pirates: Jamison Taillon - RHP - The Woodlands HS, TX. R-R - 6'7" 230. 11.18.91. Recent buzz suggests this is a two horse race between athletic shortstop Manny Machado and Texas HS RHP Jamison Taillon. (5.21 Drew Pomeranz, 5.29 Machado)

3. Baltimore Orioles: Manny Machado - SS - Brito HS, FL. R-R - 6'3" 190. 7.6.92. If the Pirates select Taillon, Machado is likely the Orioles choice. (5.21 Taillon, 5.29 Taillon)

4. Kansas City Royals: Yasmani Grandal - C - Miami. B-R - 6'2 210. 11.8.88. A few industry sources have reported that Grandal and the Royals have a predraft agreement in place.

5. Cleveland Indians: Chris Sale - LHP - Florida Gulf Coast. L-L - 6'6" 175. 3.30.90. Could be Ole Miss LHP Drew Pomeranz or even Cleveland Prep pitcher Stetson Allie but I still think it's going to be Sale. (5.21 C. Sale, 5.29 C. Sale)

6. Arizona Diamondbacks: Drew Pomeranz - LHP - Mississippi. L-L - 6'5" 230. 11.28.88. The Diamondbacks are being linked to college pitching and if Grandal goes to the Royals at #4, Pomeranz or Sale would be possibilities here as would North Carolina RHP Matt Harvey. (5.21 Karsten Whitson, 5.29 Deck McGuire)

7. New York Mets: Matt Harvey - RHP - University of North Carolina. R-R - 6'4" 225. 3.27.89. If you asked me 3 years ago, I would have said Harvey would be a top 10 pick in 2010. If you asked me 3 months ago I'd say he's pitched himself out of the first round. He's obviously turned it around including a solid performance in regional action yesterday.
