I'm kind of giddy about it. I've got a nice stash of guys who will go high. Loved picking up all those Youth autos a few years ago, stocking up on Green etc.

I'm kinda curious as to where Keifer Nuncio will be drafted.He has supposedly commited to play at the University of Texas but I guess it just depends on where he falls in the draft.He is an absolute beast!I also wonder if any of the guys from Memorial will pop up in the draft anywhere.Michael Ratteree and M.P. Cokinos are very good with the bat.With Cokinos being a decent catcher...it isn't too far out of the realm of possibility.

And as others have said...Purke.

I'm interested in where the top high school pitchers will go. Especially the lefties Tyler Matzek and Matt Purke. And righties Zach Wheeler and Shelby Miller.

People still defend Grant Green ? He had 18 errors on the season.

Having seen 60% of the potential 1st round in action sometime over the past year, really interested in see what a team that is patient with young hitters do with Jier Miller and Mike Trout. Also, whether or not a team is going to give Rich Poythress a chance at 3rd base which several teams were demanding to see in the SEC tourney.

My final Top 10:

1. Nationals- Stephen Strasburg
2. Mariners- Dustin Ackley
3. Padres- Donovan Tate
4. Pirates- Tyler Matzek
5. Orioles- Aaron Crow
6. Giants- Zack Wheeler
7. Braves- Shelby Miller
8. Reds- Kyle Gibson
9. Tigers- Mike Leake
10. Nationals- Mike Minor

Tanner Scheppers is being courted by some Japanese teams which may throw a wrinkle into the draft also.

You're bagging on Green and you still have Minor in your top ten? Anyhow, my gut says Green falls to 13th based on who I saw at the games this weekend.

And he had 9 last year, so I'm willing to bet he's not as bad as the 18 errors indicate, especially when people seem to agree the tools haven't gone anywhere.

Any word on Ryan "Scooter" Gennett?

I know he signed with FSU, but any chance of him getting drafted high enough to turn it down

I am looking forward to see where Zack Wheeler goes as he plays baseball with a friend of mine's kid. He signed an AFLAC card for me recently.

Also, My friend Kyle Heckathorn. He is coming out of Kennesaw State. B.A has him going to number 23 to the Jays...He had a slow start at the beginning of the season, but has really turned it on lately.

Oh yea..one more from my College! Ben Tootle.. Jacksonville State Gamecocks!!!

Ben Tootle is going to be a 2nd day selection.

Casey Rasmus can be re-drafted along with Daniel Webb but I doubt that happens....

BA just had him rated as a 5th-6th rounder, so it'll probably depend oh how anxious he is to turn pro.

Shame he has dropped with a mediocre season, he was unreal last summer.

He was sick most of the season which sucks. JSU didn't make the tournament either.. very disappointed to say the least

Matt Hobgood heard some rumblings about early 1st round.

Brooks Pounders has been fielding calls from the Yankees.
