This is an example of why trading picks in the MLB draft would be a good idea. The Cubs like this kid, but he was primarily slated about 10 picks later. Why not let the teams that have stronger scouting take advantage of that?

There goes Dee Gordon's brother. Nick to Minny. Nick projects out as a better hitter, more power, not as much of a flier. Stronger arm.

I agree. Not being able to trade draft picks is dumb as hell.

I have never seen any video of Nola before now, but his arm-action does not look complete.

Look out for Touki Toussaint, RHP with the Giants pick. He is highly ranked, but falling because of a high price tag. Giants apparently like him a lot and wouldn't be against drafting him.

Freeland uses way too many sliders. He is going to need TJ early in his career

Whelp, my top 7 are off the board in the first 8 picks. Only surprise so far is Schwarber (Cubs :no idea:).

It'd be cool if Turner or Newcomb fell to 14 but not likely.

I know Zimmer is the hot selection for the Giants but the First round for me goes to the pitching side.

Two pitchers to watch...Grant Holmes rated 11th best player and Sean Reid - Foley rated 18th best player available.

A hitter to watch first round if Zimmer is gone is Micheal Conforto rated 17th best player in the draft. OF

I've got Holmes rated 15 and Conforto rated 10.
