MOCK: - Sickles

1) Nationals: Bryce Harper, C, College of Southern Nevada: This is the only pick in the entire draft that is set in stone.

2) Pirates: Manny Machado, SS, Brito Private HS, Miami, Florida: Based on current info, it will either be Machado or Taillon in this slot but no one seems to know which one. Either way Pirates fans should be pleased.

3) Orioles: Jameson Taillon, RHP, The Woodlands HS, Texas: Most expect the Orioles to pick whoever the Pirates pass up. I don't expect a pre-arranged surprise like Hobgood last year, but you never know.

4) Royals: Drew Pomeranz, LHP, University of Mississippi: Royals are tight-lipped, but Pomeranz would provide an advanced arm to a pitching-oriented farm system.

5) Indians: Chris Sale,LHP, Florida Gulf Coast University: This is one projected pick that's been consistent.

6) Diamondbacks: Deck McGuire, RHP, Georgia Tech: This is where the chaos begins. Most people think the Dbacks will pick a college guy, but do they go with an arm or a bat? There is no clear separation between the available players. McGuire or Wimmers seem logical, but Cox and Grandal also seem like possibilities. I will go with McGuire. Arizona drafted a lot of hitting last year and could use some arms.

7) Mets: Christian Colon, SS, Cal State Fullerton: The Mets usually don't take huge gambles in the draft, and Colon is one of the safer picks available
