Community Mock Draft: Pick 1-3

With 45% of the vote, UNC's Dustin Ackley is the #2 pick in our community mock draft.  USC's Grant Green was the clear-cut runner-up, garnering 26% of the vote.  With the Padres on the board now, however, there's a pretty good chance that the #3 pick will be a pitcher.  Let's see what sort of reasoning we can come up with for them.

As always, I'd like for this to be with realism in mind. So, take into account, if you will, what a team might need, how a team might draft, what a team might spend, etc.  Each poll will consist of 10 players and will last 48 hours.  Players will be listed alphabetically by last name.  I'm basing the listed players off of multiple other mock drafts, but feel free to suggest someone to be added/removed.

Let's try to have a little more conversation in the threads.  Just as important as WHO you vote for is WHY you vote for them.  :-)

Thanks, and have fun!
