1. Miami Marlins: Carlos Rodon, LHP, North Carolina State
Carlos Rodon would have gotten consideration for No. 1 in this year's draft.
He can touch the upper 90s on the gun, and he throws a very live ball. He has a good cutter and curveball and a developing splitter.
In his first two years at North Carolina State he has gone 18-2 with a 296/81 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
He has a nice frame and a delivery that suggests he can hold up to the rigors of being a top-of-the-rotation starter.
2. Houston Astros: Alex Jackson, C, Rancho Bernardo HS, California
Alex Jackson is catcher and outfielder. He is a good defensive catcher, but he may end up making the same switch as Bryce Harper and move to the outfield.
He hit .343 this spring with 37 hits, 14 home runs and 33 RBI. He has a powerful and natural swing, and will make an impact no matter where he winds up playing.
3. Milwaukee Brewers: Tyler Beede, RHP, Vanderbilt
Tyler Beede is a 6'4", 215 pound right-handed starting pitcher with smooth mechanics and a mid-90s fastball.
He was taken in the first round by the Blue Jays in the 2011 draft, and he hasn't done anything at Vanderbilt to change that lofty draft status.
He went 14-0 this spring while setting a school record for wins. He posted a 2.20 earned run average with 101 strikeouts in 98.1 innings.
4. New York Mets: Michael Cederoth, RHP, San Diego State
At 6'6" and throwing heat, Michael Cederoth cuts an imposing figure on the mound. He needs to develop his accuracy and arsenal, but he throws a live ball and has top-of-the-rotation potential.

It seems not matter where the Meta draft, the guy I want them to pick is always just out of reach...Verlander in 04, Braun in 05, Lawrie in 08, Springer in 11, Meadows in 13, and probably Jackson next year. And last year when Giolito and McCullers were there the Mets passed...same as with Wilson in this year's second round. For once I'd like them to make a pick I like. I think Harvey was the only one.
Trust me... the Mets will pick in the top 3
