Picks 13 Through 24 and Who The Mets Might Look at with Pick #35


13: White Sox- Courtney Hawkins
14: Reds- Nick Travieso
15: Indians- Tyler Naquin
16: Nationals- Lucas Giolito
17: Blue Jays- D.J. Davis
18: Dodgers- Corey Seager
19: Cardinals- Michael Wacha
20: Giants- Chris Stratton
21: Braves- Lucas Sims
22: Blue Jays- Marcus Stroman
23: Cardinals- James Ramsey
24: Red Sox- Deven Marrero

A lot of high schoolers taken after the Mets picked and there are some great names still on the board. With ten picks to go before the Mets supplemental pick (“The Reyes pick”), here are the players still available who look interesting (with my mock selection in parentheses):

Lance McCullers (9)
Richie Shaffer (13)
Joey Gallo (16)
Matt Smoral (20)
Stephen Piscotty (23)
Ty Hensley (25)
Stryker Trahan (26)
Chris Beck (28)
Zach Eflin (29)
Brian Johnson (30)
Victor Roache (31)
Walker Weickel (32)
Lewin Brinson (33)
Clint Coulter (35)

Along with the following players who are all projected around the late first through early second: Carson Kelly, Travis Jankowski, Nolan Fontana, Pierce Johnson, Tanner Rahier, Rio Ruiz, Adam Brett Walker, Hunter Virant, Kenny Diekroger, Trey Williams.

That is 26 players who would all be nice picks at #35. A lot will happen in the next ten picks so stay tuned to see where the Mets look with their second selection.

Come on Mets, have some balls, pony up and grab Roache or McCullers if they're still around.

No more McCullers, unless someone wants to waste a pick. If there's a god, Smoral falls. I actually had him as one of my favorites for #12 before I did a whole lot of research.

Well there goes Trahan

Stephen Guilbert said...

Trahan gone is a good thing.

Coulter gone is not. That is the guy I wanted at #35.

McCullers will NOT sign at 35. He is going to college without a doubt.

Smoral, Jankowski, Barrios, Brinson, Beck, Gallo, Hensley, Eflin should be the guys we're looking at now.

IDK Stephan...money talks....look at Phil Evans last year.

If Smoral, Gallo, Janko, Eflin are all there, who do you guys take?

Stephen Guilbert said...

Between Smoral and Jankowski out of those mentioned there.

I also like C Mathisen and P Barrios at that spot as well as a dark horse pick, HS LHP Hunter Virant.
