Swanson, Rodgers, and Tate-2015 MLB Draft

Dansby Swanson is considered by most to be the top college position player, and is probably the most advanced, plus he is the best fielding shortstop in the class. Swanson won't be a power threat, but he has a solid hit tool and can run, plus he is a great guy, making scouts and coaches like him even more. Brendan Rodgers is the best high school player in the class, and sits at the top of my prospect rankings. Rodgers should also stick at short, but some scouts think he will move to third, where his bat will profile well, but he has good up the middle instincts. Dillon Tate was a closer in college until this year, and when he moved to the rotation and pitched well he skyrocketed up draft boards, but he has slowed down some at the end of the year, and now some consider Carson Fulmer ahead of him. Tate has a dominating fastball to go with a great slider, and he also throws a fringe curve, and a changeup that is slightly above average, giving him the stuff to stay in the rotation. The Twins will love it if any of these players fall to them, and Tate is the most likely to fall, but there is no chance that Swanson falls, and Rodgers will likely be gone, but I did have Rodgers fall to them in my mock draft, but I have heard that the Rockies and Astros are zeroing in on him, so that will likely not happen, but the Twins will likely be closely looking into Rodgers and Tate leading up to the draft.
