MLB draft insider final Mock No. 1; Houston Astros Name Position School Slot Mark Appel RHP Stanford $7.7904M We all go back to our first loves at some point, right? This is no lock — nothing is — but it sounds like the Astros are seriously considering taking the best player in the draft, and that’s a good thing. Moran and Gray are still possibilities here, too. No. 2; Chicago Cubs Name Position School Slot Jonathan Gray RHP Oklahoma $7.7904M If Appel does go No. 1, then I think they will likely go Gray, but Kris Bryant and Colin Moran are both feasible. I’d put the odds of Appel ending up a Cub though at 50 percent. No. 3; Colorado Rockies Name Position School Slot Kris Bryant 3B/RF San Diego $5.6264 There is a rumor going around that the Rockies could be looking at Dominic Smith even stronger with this pick than they were before, but that could just be a negotiating ploy to try and rive Bryant’s price down. No.4; Minnesota Twins Name Position School Slot Kohl Stewart RHP St. Pius X High School (Tex.) $4.5444M I think Stewart is — and should be — the selection, but I’m not as confident about this as I was a few weeks ago. The Twins are still very much considering Reese McGuire with the fourth pick, and I think they would consider Kris Bryant should he become available. Minnesota also would likely snag Gray if he were to fall to this point. No.5; Cleveland Indians Name Position School Slot Colin Moran 3B North Carolina $3.787M They are also interested in Braden Shipley and Clint Frazier, but if Moran is still here I would be very surprised if they went in a different direction. No.6; Miami Marlins Name Position School Slot Braden Shipley RHP Nevada $3.5165M I still think Meadows is in play — and may actually be ahead of Shipley on their boards, but I think there’s some pressure for the Marlins to take a college player. D.J. Peterson also is still in pay, and if Gray or Bryant fall here you will hear a very loud yippee in Miami. No.7; Boston Red Sox Name Position School Slot Austin Meadows OF Grayson H.S. (Ga.) $3.2465M If one of the “big three” fall to them, that’s the obvious choice, but if Not I think they prefer the upside of Meadows over Frazier. No.8; Kansas City Royals Name Position School Slot Phil Bickford RHP Oaks Christian H.S. (Calif.) $3.1378M Latest rumor has Trey Ball being the favorite here, but I’ll stick with Bickford. I think the arm strength is appealing, as will the price tag. No.9; Pittsburgh Pirates Name Position School Slot Reese McGuire C Kentwood High School (Wash.) $3.0296M Both the Pirates and Blue Jays have shown a great deal of interest in McGuire, and the only way I see the Pirates passing on him at this point is if someone like Shipley or Moran were still on the board. If McGuire were to go Minnesota, this could be Peterson, Trey Ball or Hunter Renfroe. No.10; Toronto Blue Jays Name Position School Slot Trey Ball LHP New Castle H.S. (Ind.) $2.9214M Apparently there’s very little interest in Frazier, though I think that’s a mistake. J.P. Crawford and Reese McGuire are also definitely in play. No.11; New York Mets Name Position School Slot D.J. Peterson 1B New Mexico $2.8403 They’re all over the place; but if Peterson makes it past Toronto I think he’s the most likely option. Dominic Smith and Hunter Renfroe are both options here. No.12; Seattle Mariners Name Position School Slot J.P. Crawford SS Lakewood H.S. (Calif.) $2.7591M If Bickford is available I think he’s the likely choice, and next on the board is D.J. Peterson. There also could be a wild-card in the mix, though I’m not sure what that name could be, hence the term wild-card. No.13; San Diego Padres Name Position School Slot Clint Frazier OF Loganville H.S. (Ga.) $2.678M I just can’t see Frazier getting past the Padres, but Hunter Renfroe, Dominic Smith and Phil Bickford are all possibilities as well. No.14; Pittsburgh Pirates Name Position School Slot Dominic Smith 1B Serra H.S. (Calif.) $2.5698M It isn’t terribly common to see teams pick two high-school players in the first fifteen picks, but if Renfroe is off the board I think he’d be next on their board. This would also be Frazier’s floor, as well as Peterson’s. No.15; Arizona Diamondbacks Name Position School Slot Hunter Renfroe OF Mississippi State $2.4345M Gonzalez could be the pick here if Renfroe is off the board, but I think Renfroe would be too tempting to pass on this “late” in the first round. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2013/06/the-mock-final/
