Hrbowski

I did, would be great if the Twins draft him.

Brady Aiken is off the board.

Walker Buehler will be a nice pick for somebody, as will Funkhouser and Harris.

Said the Cubs would take the best college bat available, and they did, but the only pick that I really wasn't aware of was the Phils, but I said nobody knew what they would do...

Got the 8th pick right, at least.

I almost went with Benintendi, too.

I'm not a pro, I'm just a sophomore in high school who loves scouting.

Here is the link to my final mock: http://twinsdaily.com/blog/531/entry-6626-final-mock-2015-mlb-draft/

http://www.tigerrag.com/Images/Interior/baseball/bregman_batting.jpg Arizona Diamondbacks-#1 Dansby Swanson - Shortstop - Vanderbilt I said on Friday that I wouldn’t change this, and I haven’t, but Tyler Stephenson could be in play here. Houston Astros-#2 Alex Bregman - Shortstop - LSU Did not change, but if Swanson falls he would probably be the pick. Colorado Rockies-#3 Brendan Rodgers - Shortstop - Florida High School Once again I’m sticking with my previous pick, but Tyler Jay or Andrew Benintendi might be options. Texas Rangers-#4 Dillon Tate - Right Handed Pitcher - UC Santa Barbara Tate remains here, but if any of the shortstops fall they would get picked, or the Rangers could go with Daz Cameron or Trenton Clark. Houston Astros-#5 Kyle Tucker - Outfield - Florida High School I think that the Astros will stick with the family connection and go with Tucker, but Benintendi could go here if they pick Rodgers at #2, or they might go with Daz Cameron. Minnesota Twins-#6 Tyler Jay - Left Handed Pitcher - Illinois Daz Cameron would probably be the pick if they think that he would sign, or if any of the players above fell they would likely pick them. If they don’t think Tyler Jay will start they would take Trenton Clark. Boston Red Sox-#7 Daz Cameron - Outfield - Georgia High School I think that the Cameron slide would end before Houston picks again, and this seems the most likely place for it to stop, but the Red Sox also like Benintendi and Carson Fulmer. Chicago White Sox-#8 Carson Fulmer - Right Handed Pitcher - Vanderbilt The White Sox are said to like college pitchers, and Fulmer is best available. Chicago Cubs-#9 Andrew Benintendi - Outfield - Arkansas The Cubs could take any of about 15 players, but they usually go with college hitters, so I think that they will go with Benintendi. Philadelphia Phillies-#10 Tyler Stephenson - Catcher - Georgia High School I’m going with Stephenson here, but the Phillies could take just about anyone. Cincinnati Reds-#11 Trenton Clark - Outfield - Texas High School Miami Marlins-#12 Garrett Whitley - Outfield - New York High School Tampa Bay Rays-#13 Walker Buehler - Right Handed Pitcher - Vanderbilt Atlanta Braves-#14 Cornelius Randolph - Outfield - Georgia High School Milwaukee Brewers-#15 Kyle Funkhouser - Right Handed Pitcher - Louisville New York Yankees-#16 Jon Harris - Right Handed Pitcher - Missouri State Cleveland Indians-#17 Kolby Allard - Left Handed Pitcher - California High School San Francisco Giants-#18 Brady Aiken - Left Handed Pitcher - IGM Academy Pittsburgh Pirates-#19 Mike Nikorak - Right Handed Pitcher - Pennsylvania High School Oakland Athletics-#20 Ian Happ - Outfield - Cincinnati Kansas City Royals-#21 James Kaprielian - Right Handed Pitcher - UCLA Detroit Tigers-#22 Donny Everett - Right Handed Pitcher - Tennessee High School St. Louis Cardinals-#23 Ashe Russell - Right Handed Pitcher - Indiana High School Los Angeles Dodgers-#24 Phil Bickford - Right Handed Pitcher - CC of Southern Nevada Baltimore Orioles-#25 Nick Plummer - Outfield - Michigan High School Los Angeles Angels-#26 Blake Trahan - Shortstop - Louisiana Lafayette

Dansby Swanson just homered off of Tyler Jay.

Sean Hjelle lives in White Bear, but he goes to school in Mahtomedi. Speaking of Mahtomedi, I saw on the mlb.com draft tracker that Mike Baumann was listed as a State College of Florida Manatee - Sarasota (FL) Right Handed Pitcher, but he pitched at Jacksonville this year and was named a freshman All-American, so I was wondering if you knew anything about that.

I'm a bit of a cheater, and plan on doing one a couple of hours before the draft, but it will probably be no significant change.

The reason I went with Aiken is because I consider him the top player in the class, if not for the injury, and TR said that they will roll the dice, but it was just speculation on my part.

Nice job, Mat! I love reading player perspectives, especially about the contact that goes on between players and scouts, since my dream is to become a scouting director.

It surprised me that Berrios has 632 wins.

I didn't say that Escobar was better than Plouffe, I said he has had worse luck.

You can hit a fly ball or ground ball and get good speed of the bat, and he his getting weak contact less often than Trevor Plouffe, and his hard hit percentage is just .01% percent under Plouffe's.

Houston Astros-#2 Alex Bregman - Shortstop - LSU Last week I had them take Fulmer, but this week I’m going to have them take Bregman, who they really like, but Fulmer is still in play here. Colorado Rockies-#3 Brendan Rodgers - Shortstop - Florida High School Last week I had them take Benintendi, and I think that there is a good chance that he does get picked by them, but Rodgers has the highest ceiling, so I think he goes here, but Jay and Fulmer will be players to watch. Texas Rangers-#4 Dillon Tate - Right Handed Pitcher - UC Santa Barbara With Bregman gone I think that the Rangers will take Tate, but Fulmer could be in play here as well, plus someone told me they like Buehler. Houston Astros-#5 Kyle Tucker - Outfield - Florida High School I’m staying with my pick from last week, but Fulmer, Jay, or Cameron could be in play. Minnesota Twins-#6 Brady Aiken - Left Handed Pitcher - IMG Academy (Florida) The Twins want Rodgers, but the rumors of him falling have become quiet, and with the top five players gone the Twins will roll the dice no matter who they take, whether it is Cameron and the shenanigans about him going to school, Kolby Allard, or potential relief pitchers in Fulmer or Jay. If I got to pick here I would probably take Fulmer, but I’m hearing that Aiken’s medical issues aren’t as bad as they were made out to be, and that he should go in the top ten, plus Aiken was at the top of the Twins board last year, so there is no reason not to take Aiken, given who else is on the board. Boston Red Sox-#7 Carson Fulmer - Right Handed Pitcher - Vanderbilt The Red Sox drafted Fulmer out of high school, and they still like him, but they also like Benintendi. Chicago White Sox-#8 Tyler Jay - Left Handed Pitcher - Illinois I think that this would be a lock if it plays out like this, but this class is unpredictable. Chicago Cubs-#9 Andrew Benintendi - Outfield - Arkansas The Cubs like college hitters, and if Benintendi is available they might be tempted to take another one. Philadelphia Phillies-#10 Daz Cameron - Outfield - Georgia High School Once again I’m gong BPA with the Phils, but this week it is Cameron. From #11 to #26 I’m only going to give the name, position, and school of who I think the teams will pick. Cincinnati Reds-#11 Jon Harris - Right Handed Pitcher - Missouri State Miami Marlins-#12 Garret Whitley - Outfield - New York High School Tampa Bay Rays-#13 Walker Buehler - Right Handed Pitcher - Vanderbilt Atlanta Braves-#14 Tyler Stephenson - Catcher - Georgia High School Milwaukee Brewers-#15 Kolby Allard - Left Handed Pitcher - California High School New York Yankees-#16 James Kaprielian - Right Handed Pitcher - UCLA Cleveland Indians-#17 Ashe Russell - Right Handed Pitcher - Indiana High School San Francisco Giants-#18 Mike Nikorak - Right Handed Pitcher - Pennsylvania High School Pittsburgh Pirates-#19 Trenton Clark - Outfield - Texas High School Oakland Athletics-#20 Ian Happ - Outfield - Cincinnati Kansas City Royals-#21 Phil Bickford - Right Handed Pitcher - College of Southern Nevada Detroit Tigers-#22 Kyle Funkhouser - Right Handed Pitcher - Louisville St. Louis Cardinals-#23 Nathan Kirby - Left Handed Pitcher - Virginia Los Angles Dodgers-#24 Michael Matuella - Right Handed Pitcher - Duke Baltimore Orioles-#25 Cornelius Randolph - Third Base - Georgia High School Los Angeles Angels-#26 Kevin Newman - Shortstop - Arizona

When Escobar is making contact he is consistenly making good contact, not just weak ground outs and pop ups like you might expect with a .228 average, plus he is using the whole field well. His .228 average has been a result of bad luck.

I didn't say that Escobar was a power hitter, I said that he was a quality hitter, and that Vargas wasn't hitting for power.

So we can get rid of him? Polanco is at AA, not even AAA, if you get rid of Santana and Escobar the best option would be Doug Bernier.

Escobar makes good contact, hasn't done anything to deserve being taken out of the lineup, therefor he is a quality hitter, I didn't say phenomenal hitter. I would rather have Pinto be playing everyday at AAA than being on the bench in the big leagues, as Pinto isn't as good as Suzuki. And one final note, Vargas is striking out a lot at AAA.

I think that this article was a bit rediculous. Molitor is going with his best options, and it is working, so I don't see why you called the article "When Will Molitor Start Making Adjustments?" He has made his adjustments, moving Hunter out of the cleanup spot, moving Santana out of the leadoff spot etc. Eduardo Escobar is a quality hitter, he has proven himself that he deserves to be in the lineup everyday, plus he is better than any of Molitor's other options. Vargas was not hitting for power, and Suzuki was once again Molitor's best option, unless you want to put Eduardo Escobar there, or you could call Eric Fryer, who is doing way better than Pinto, and make Fryer the everyday catcher, but I don't think you want that. Josmil Pinto is hitting .247 at AAA, and his power has not been above average, plus Hicks did not deserve to make the opening day roster, hence him staying in the minors for six weeks. And Molitor is once again going with his best option in batting Mauer 3rd, and just to let you know, first base is just as valuable a position as shortstop, as the first baseman can save the other infielders of an average of 5 errors a year, and when you start stereotyping how someone should hit because what position they play is rediculous also, look at Joe Maddon, he was hitting his catcher leadoff for awhile, and it worked, when you start expecting someone to hit 30 home runs a year because of a position switch once again you are being rediculous. I thought that you were giving Molitor criticism for things that are out of his control, and that you were being unfair to a lot of people.

Can't believe you think that Tucker will strikeout a ton, I have Tucker as a 70 hit and 60 power.

That can change pretty quick, and if a team did that the good players won't be happy being drafted by you, and then you will be forced into drafting the Daniel Moskos of the draft.
