2022 mock Draft: Top 10 picks

MLB Pipeline has just released its initial 2022 Draft Top 100 Prospects list, so of course it's time for a look at how the first 10 picks might unfold -- even if the Draft is still seven months away. The Orioles own the No. 1 selection for the first time

Leody has this to say about our CF conversation.

You have to wonder if dropping the switch hitting might not help him in the long run...

I'm guessing he's naturally LHed since his swing looks better and so is his production from that side...

@saddles is it safe to say Green is your top option for the Rangers?

 

[Kelleyman]

Read the article in the Athletic. Much ado about nothing.
Easily predictable everyone was going to take Christmas holidays off

 

[jta4437]

Elijah Green ranked 1, 8, and 3 in the most recent projections.

I'd be good with Green or Delauter

I am hoping we get Chase DeLauter at this point. I would be happy with each of the outfielders that have been mentioned in the top 3 or 4 though. DeLauter, Green, or Jones would be great picks. Of the non-outfielders, I really like Termarr Johnson a lot.

A lot could change in the next 7 months, but I really hope DeLauter falls to us at this point.

I really don't see the Rangers taking a 3B with their first pick.

 

[DT LUNA]

I really don't see the Rangers taking a 3B with their first pick.

Neither do I.

 

[Kelleyman]

Neither do I.

But they could take a SS

 

[saddles]

Jose is a great guy. Would love it if the new hitting coaches could help him.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

I really don't see the Rangers taking a 3B with their first pick.

I don't either...

I'm guessing C, SP, SS, CFer the value positions...

 

[saddles]

 

[DTC]

I hope we get Druw Jones or Elijah Green or Brock Jones if he really tears it up this spring.
I like Chase Delauter but see him as more of a COF, but the dude can straight up hit, so wouldn’t mind having him.
I would like a C or a CF as long as they’re one of the best.

 

[Kelleyman]

I don't either...

I'm guessing C, SP, SS, CFer the value positions...

FWIW. I doubt if Seager sticks at SS beyond 5-6 years and could easily move off that spot so a SS is not out of the question but of course a CF is preferred. Looks like the top ones will be out of HS. Makes that a slow track

 

[Kelleyman]

Article In connection with this. Looks like Mazara doing well in the Dominican

 

[Uncle Siggy]

FWIW. I doubt if Seager sticks at SS beyond 5-6 years and could easily move off that spot

Personally I don't think they really want him to play that position that much and take the chance on him being hurt, his bat is way more valuable than his passable defense at SS...

That means we keep IKF.

Passable is ok for now.
Hernandez is only other current option unless Marcus S moves over. At some point Seager moves to 3rd or 1B but then I may be thinking ahead too much

 

[Kelleyman]

Yeah part of me thinks the club does not bail just yet on IKF

 

[Uncle Siggy]

That means we keep IKF.

Probably for at least 2022 unless they get an offer they can't refuse...

At some point Seager moves to 3rd or 1B but then I may be thinking ahead too much

Jung is passable at 3rd could Corey be better there and Josh play corner OF...

Thanks Godfather or Jung at 1B…..hmmm
