Right Handed Pitcher (RHP)
DraftSite's comments: Rumors persist that Gray is going to be the guy at number one due to many factors, most of which boil down to money. Mark Appel is represented by Scott Boras and the Astros don’t want to blow their entire draft budget on one pick: Kris Bryant and Colin Moran are also in play here.

Right Handed Pitcher (RHP)
DraftSite's comments: The Cubs will grab whichever stud pitcher, between Gray and Appel, the Astros passover and here it’s Appel.
-
Third Baseman (3rd)
DraftSite's comments: Bryant is a consensus top three pick and the best offensive prospect in the draft, so it’s hard to see him falling past the Rockies.

Right Handed Pitcher (RHP)
DraftSite's comments: The Twins farm system in thriving, though it could use a little more pitching depth. High School prospects like Kohl Stewart and Trey Ball are probably in play here as well, but Shipley gives the Twins an advance college arm that could move quickly.
-
Third Baseman (3rd)
DraftSite's comments: The Indians love advanced college bats and Moran is the best college hitter available.
-
Outfield (OF)
DraftSite's comments: You never know with the Marlins, but Meadows is an athletic, toolsy players with huge upside and Miami loves those types. If they want to save money, names like DJ Peterson or Hunter Renfroe could be in play here.

DraftSite's comments: The Red Sox have been connected to Frazier for a while and in this scenario he falls to them. Frazier gives them a huge upside player with five-tool potential. Kohl Stewart and Trey Ball make sense here as well.

Right Handed Pitcher (RHP)
DraftSite's comments: The Royals are apparently not interested in Ryne Stanek, who pitched in K.C. in high school, but rumor is they are seeking pitching and here they get the best high school arm in the draft in Stewart.

DraftSite's comments: The Mariners could go after Ryne Stanek here (he was their third round pick in 2010), or they could add an advanced college bat to their farm system to go along with their stable of young pitchers. Peterson is the pick here.

Outfield (OF)
DraftSite's comments: The White Sox seem to like outfielders lately and I look for that trend to continue with Austin Wilson. Billy Mckinney and Philip Ervin could be in play here too if the Sox go the outfield route.

DraftSite's comments: Alex Gonzalez wasn’t on the top 20 pitchers list, but he has really come on lately, making that appear to be a huge oversight. Hard to see him making it past the pitching-loving Orioles.
-
Left Hander Pitcher (LHP)
DraftSite's comments: The Rangers love high upside players, but they could use more pitching in their system, and in Clarkin they grab a high school lefty that can reach the mid 90’s and has control of three pitches.

DraftSite's comments: Williams may fit more in the compensation/second round range, but after taking Manea (a Boras) client, slightly reaching for a rising high school arm that has touched 96 and is a St. Louis native to boot, doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.

Second Baseman (2B)
DraftSite's comments: This is a reach pick, as Biggio is another compensation/second round type, but the thinking is the Yankees can’t blow their budget in the first round alone, and although Harvey and Anderson shouldn’t be hard signs, grabbing Biggio would help save money for later rounds. Plus, he is the son of a future hall of famer, who can play a number of positions and has a solid bat.
