Analyzing Amateur Baseball Talent as it pertains to the MLB Draft
Mock Draft
I'm not going to bother with much commentary, since it is way too early to try and project which teams are going to zero in on which players, and trying to predict which prospects are going to rise and fall is also an impossible task. Given how I have the talent stack up at this point in time, this is roughly how the draft could shake out if it was held today.
