Detroit Tigers officially on the clock.

 

Below is Baseball America’s last mock updated in the past hour (click Spoiler). J.J. Cooper said they feel good about the first 10-12 picks.

I feel like the Brewers front office is among the most guarded in baseball. Have mock drafts gotten the Brewers right in recent years, without looking I don't think they have.

Justin Verlander second overall and Casey Mize first overall. That’s almost an unfair transition. Mize’s Stats are unreal.

 

Two top five picks at catcher going from Buster Posey to Joey Bart. That’s an organization that knows what it is doing in the draft.

 

Interesting stat by Peter Gammons. In the last All Star game, 75% were first rounders or international players. Two areas that hopefully the Brewers are turning around.

From what I remember mocks have generally been wrong about who the Brewers pick.

I see second base or left for Madrigal. I’d have to wonder about range at 5’7 at short. That doesn’t compute.

Related to that, I really like Cadyn Grenier, who punted Madrigal from SS to 2B for Oregon State. Not at 21 probably, but hope he's still there at 60.

 

Thanks for all your research! I usually can’t read up on more than about 25-30 players.

 

Did you not publish on your website this year? I enjoyed it last year.

 

I agree with your point - I’d like to see more shortstops in the organization. I suspect Carmona ends up at third.

Will be interesting to see if Singer falls to the A’s at #9. It would be the second time in three years they sat back and had a highly touted Florida pitcher fall to them.

The first former Brewers draft pick off the board at #5 (Jonathan India)!

 

And now most of the mock drafts have veered off track.

 

Good point. Everyone and their monkey seemingly had India going to the Mets.

 

The Reds have been picking high now for awhile. You gotta think it’s all going to coalesce at some point.
