A personal favorite of mine,
Russell County (TX) H.S. OF Rock Rucker, has
been moving up the mock charts lately. I’ve seen him consistently in the 3-4
round range and someone had him in the second last week. Double R is well known
for his bat, but don’t be surprised the 6-5 lefty isn’t drafted as a potential
rotational starter. He routinely runs it up to the mid-90s.
1.)Astros - Kevin Gausman, RHP - LSU (New ownership group and GM
want an impact player that will move quickly in the system with the Astros and
Gausman makes a lot of sense here, even though they love Buxton as well.)
2.)Twins - Mike Zunino, C - Florida
3.)Mariners - Mark Appel, RHP - Stanford
4.)Orioles - Byron Buxton, OF - Appling County HS, GA
5.)Royals - Marcus Stroman, RHP - Duke
6.)Cubs - Michael Wacha RHP - Texas A&M
7.)Padres - Kyle Zimmer, RHP, San Francisco U
8.)Pirates - Carlos Correa, SS, Puerto Rico HS Academy, PR
9.)Marlins - Lance McCullers, RHP - Jesuit HS, Tampa FL
10.)Rockies - Courtney Hawkins, OF, Carroll HS, Corpus Christi, TX
11.)Athletics - Deven Marrero, SS - Arizona State
12.)Mets
- Albert Almora, CF, Mater HS, FL
(there is no way in hell
that Luc
Giolito falls
this far AND the Mets pass on him…)

Wow, probably a Yankee fan who purposely made Giolito fall to them at #30.
On another note, I hear the Mets won't pass up on Courtney Hawkins at 12.
Anyway, still way too early. Can't wait to see the hundreds of changes to the draft board in the coming weeks.
there is a lot of twitter chatter on Hawkins, mostly from him...
OF wise, Buxton is #1 on board but will not be still there at 12...
current board after that, in order: Almora, Dahl, Hawkins, Roache
