Interesting list.

I can't say I believe Marerro has any chance at all of falling out of the top 5 (much less later half of the first round) and I think some guys like Underwood, Correo, Walker will not be as high as they are here but if they or players like them are, having Roache, Buxton, and Wacha all available here would give the Mets a ton of attractive options.

Also, Marrero is listed twice on this list (19th and 23rd).

Marrero is so good, he deserves to be drafted twice :)

I would be thrilled with Buxton, but it's not going to happen.

IMO, right now, there are 6 players that are "locks" to go before the 12th pick... in no particular order, Giolito, Appel, Marrero, Zunino, Gausman, and Buxton.

The Mets need a catcher and two outfielders in their first four picks (now, I jinxed them).

My guess is David Dahl and Stryker Trahan will still be available; however, it is far too early.
