Mock - Jonathan Mayo

1. Pittsburgh Pirates: Gerrit Cole, RHP, UCLA



There is still no decision, as the Pirates are making sure they are doing due diligence. They're not tipping their hand, but it would make sense if they are looking largely at the college guys in Cole, Anthony Rendon and Danny Hultzen.






2. Seattle Mariners: Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice


Teams evidently have medical reports on Rendon and his uncertain shoulder at this point. If questions are answered, Seattle has always been a potential home for him.






3. Arizona Diamondbacks: Danny Hultzen, LHP, Virginia


Same candidates apply. Hultzen has pitched his way to the top of the Draft and wouldn't take much time to be big league ready.






4. Baltimore Orioles: Dylan Bundy, RHP, Oswasso HS, Okla.


The top high school pitcher has done nothing to lose that title. There's been talk about a very high price tag, but most believe he wants to play.






5. Kansas City Royals: Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner-Edgerton HS, Kan.


The Royals are also looking at college arms like Trevor Bauer or Cole if he dropped here. Starling and Francisco Lindor are the hitters being considered, with the two-sport toolsy outfielder in their own back yard making almost too much sense.




13. New York Mets: Sonny Gray, RHP, Vanderbilt


There are many eyes on the Mets, with new general manager Sandy Alderson and their financial situation, to see what they will do. College pitching could very well be the way they go
