Hello everyone, and welcome to my own time-honored tradition - one which I've been doing for the past few years.

This year's draft crop, while not considered to be as impressive as last year's overall, is likely to have the most up-in-the-air outcome of all, thanks to the new CBA.

This also means the prizes for this contest will be even more enticing than usual.

Last year, over 100 of you participated in this contest.

It's time for the clairvoyants on this board to stand up and be heard.

The contest is simple and straightforward.


Predict who the Top 10 draft picks of 2012 will turn out to be.


The person who predicts the most players correctly in the exact order will win.

In the event of a tie, the person who posted their guesses first wins.

THE GUESSING DEADLINE WILL BE MONDAY, JUNE 4TH AT 12:00 PM, CST.

That's a mere SIX (6) hours prior to the draft. (In past years, the deadline was 24 hours or more.)

Once the deadline expires, this thread will be locked. You are free to edit your guesses until then.

You should definitely make sure to fill in your guesses ASAP, as opposed to leaving them blank with the intention of filling them in later. (Remember, you can still edit them until the June 4th, 12pm CST deadline.)


Here are the prizes.

The winner will receive this, no matter what:

In addition, if the winner happens to rank 7 out of 10 correctly, the winner will also receive this:

Prize4.jpg

Or, if the winner happens to rank 8 out of 10 correctly, the winner will receive this:

Prize7.jpg

Or, if the winner happens to rank 9 out of 10 correctly, the winner will receive this:

Prize5.jpg

Or, if the winner happens to rank all 10 correctly, the Grand Prize will be:

Prize6.jpg



Please make sure your guesses are clear and legible, and that you use each player's name only once.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD PLEASE USE BOTH FIRST AND LAST NAMES.

I wish all of you the best of luck.

Here is the draft order:

1. HOU Astros -
2. MN Twins -
3. SEA Mariners -
4. BAL Orioles -
5. KC Royals -
6. CHI Cubs -
7. SD Padres -
8. PIT Pirates -
9. MIA Marlins -
10. COL Rockies -

EDIT: apparently nobody is showing until right before the draft, I guess I will do the same.

Doesn't have anything to do with that.

There's so much unpredictability that it's insanely difficult to guess it without being as close to possible on draft day as possible.

This one is tough. The Jays have two picks in the first round. It is possible that any of the top 10 could drop to the Jays at 17. That's how volatile the draft is.

1. HOU Astros - Byron Buxton
2. MN Twins - Mark Appel
3. SEA Mariners - mike zunino
4. BAL Orioles - Max Fried
5. KC Royals - Kevin gausman
6. CHI Cubs - Lucas giolito
7. SD Padres - Carlos Correa
8. PIT Pirates - Kyle Zimmer
9. MIA Marlins - Albert Almora
10. COL Rockies - Deven marrero
