1. Astros: Carlos Rodon, LHP, North Carolina State
A slow start left Rodon's status as the top pick in question, and one of the big high school pitchers below could still be Houston's choice, but here's saying the N.C. State lefty has done enough to reclaim the spot.

2. Marlins: Tyler Kolek, RHP, Shepherd HS (Texas)
The Marlins love left-handed pitching, and there'd be nothing wrong with Brady Aiken here, but the size and pure stuff of Kolek is too hard to pass up.

3. White Sox: Brady Aiken, LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (Calif.)
The White Sox might be in the best spot. They can just take whichever of the top three arms is available.

4. Cubs: Alex Jackson, C/OF, Rancho Bernardo HS (Calif.)
This might be the first place where the injury to Hoffman is really felt. Jackson is considered by many to be the best all-around hitter in the class.

5. Twins: Nick Gordon, SS, Olympia HS (Fla.)
Dee's brother and Flash's son will be able to stay at shortstop and has added strength, making him a better all-around prospect.

6. Mariners: Tyler Beede, RHP, Vanderbilt
There's a general consensus about the top five names, if not the order. This is where it starts getting iffy. Beede is one of many in the mix.

7. Phillies: Kyle Freeland, RHP, Evansville
The Phillies would probably love for Gordon to be available, and they might look at the top college hitters, but that might be too much of a stretch. There's a lot of buzz about Freeland climbing into the top 10.

8. Rockies: Aaron Nola, RHP, Louisiana State
There hasn't been a better performer among the college pitchers and it's quite possible that Nola goes a few spots higher as a result.

9. Blue Jays: Touki Toussaint, RHP, Coral Springs Christian Academy (Fla.)
Putting a high school arm with the Blue Jays is almost expected, right? Toussaint and Sean Reid-Foley are the ones most often mentioned.

10. Mets: Sean Newcomb, LHP, Hartford
The Mets have been on the southpaw from the get-go and he's done nothing to sway them away.
