I want to thank everyone who has participated in our mock draft. I've found it an interesting exercise.

 

Just a few more selections until the Brewers - then the real draft on Monday, June 12. Should be fun.

1.7 Bukauskas

[Eye Black]

I think the D-backs go college performer with their selection.

 

1.7 - Arizona Diamondbacks - Adam Haseley, OF, Virginia

[streetsahead]

1.7 Haseley

[ZBTMP]

Arizona selects David Peterson a 1-7. Hazen's Red Sox pulled from both college and prep. With an open window, I will go with the PAC12 starter.

1.7 Haseley

1.7 Adam Haseley

[Austin Tatious]

1.7 Hasely

1.7 Adam Haseley, OF, Virginia

1.7 Shane Baz

1.7 Shane Baz

I like the Peterson idea, but there is some thought that Bukauskas could help a big league bullpen this year. He can go back to developing as a starter next year. So even with his hiccup of a final start this year:

 

1.7 - J.B. Bukauskas

[narwhalattack]

1.7 Adam Haseley

[MilwaukeeBeers]

D-Backs- Adam Haseley

[reillymcshane]

1.7 - Adam Haseley

[reillymcshane]

With the seventh pick in the draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks select Adam Haseley, OF, Virgina.

 

Here's the break down of the votes.

 

Haseley - 9

Bukauskas - 2

Baz - 2

Peterson - 1

 

The Philadelphia Phillies are on the clock. Please vote by 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 8.

1.8 Shane Baz

[MrTPlush]

Tough one to pick as the Phillies have scouted all over the board. I think they would have taken one of the Virginia hitters, but with both off the board I would go Beck with Bukauskas/Faedo not far behind.

 

1.8 Austin Beck

[And That]

The best player I have left on my board:

 

1.8 - Bukauskas

[patrickgpe]

1.8 Beck

[Eye Black]

Agree with MrTPlush that this is a tough one with both UVA hitters off the board. For me it's between Baz and Bukauskas.

 

1.8 Philadelphia Phillies - J.B. Bukauskas, RHP, North Carolina

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Phillies- JB Bukauskas

Only because they drafted a prep OF last year 1.1
