Mack: - all the right names in the top 10... I still wouldn't go 3B even if both Trahan and Zunino are gone...  I'd stick with either McCullers, Weickel, or Dahl

    2 things that tick me off when reading a mock is when the person writing a mock:

    1. Automatically thinks that the team will draft a mediocre player just because the pick is safe(when the pick is an unprotected pick)

    2. Thinks that a team will pick a reliever as a first round pick.

    As a Brewers fan, I'm ticked off because I really don't think it makes much sense to draft a reliever in the first round, especially for a protected pick.

    I agree on McCullers but I would take Trey Williams over Dahl (by a bit) and Weickel (by a lot). I am not convinced that Weickel will be worth even a first round pick. Not enough secondary offerings for me just yet. We'll see how he does this spring.

    I agree with Doc.

    Drafting a relief pitcher in the first round is like drafting a punter.

    The season has started and already you are starting to see speed checks, results.

    Gausman may go before Giolito and Appel, but all three are gone in the first 5 picks.

    McCullers is dropping and Chris Beck is rising.

    Fried, Morreno, Correa, and Buxton still top 10

    I can't see anyone drafting McCullers or Stroman until the second time around

    If McCullers falls, then great! Mets can grab a hitter first and then snag McCullers with the next pick.
