This is it...
We've reached the end of the 'mock draft' season and it's time to put up or shut up.
These are my top 278 picks, in order, based on... well, based on a bunch of things.
1. I average the past 45 mock drafts I have compiled over the 'season'.
2. I study all the scouting reports that I print out details on at 8pm each night in the 'Draft 13' post.
3. I talk daily to scouts about all these guys.
4. I throw in injury factors, like Sean Manaea, who easily would have bee a top 10 pick until his being taken out of the conference games this week.
5. And, then, I just use a little common sense when it comes to the Mets pick. Do I go 'home' and go position with the Mets pick? Well, yes and no. I do go college with the first three picks because I want those guys to be Queens ready in late 2015. Past that, it's best player on the board regardless to whether he's a high school senior or college junior/senior.

I'd be willing to reach for Aaron Judge with the first pick. Kid has some HUGE power potential and when have you ever seen a 6' 7" good defensive OF....never.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much would comp him to a much better defending Lucas Duda.
Granted if Austin Meadows falls....I'd pick him up
Yes, I agree. Judge is a good reach.
ReplyDeleteIMO, another good reach for a pitcher is Bobby Wahl
Is #90 the same guy we didn't sign last year?
ReplyDeleteYes Zozo it is.
