MOD: Marlins

As per usual, the Marlins aren't touching any compensation picks as we aren't big fans of offering arb, but we do have 3 picks in the first 3 rounds and that's enough room for this FO to inject some serious talented to an already talented organization. The Marlins' pick as follows...

Round 1: 18

Round 2: 66

Round 3: 97

The Marlins have had a lot of success with HS pitchers, and this is a good draft for HS pitchers, especially in the top end. I'm thinking the Marlins probably take an elite HS arm in the first, and then start filling up with BPA. I'm thinking Tyler Skaggs or Chad James unless one of the other HS arms fall like Wheeler, Miller, or Turner. I'll start a poll to get discussion going. Feel free to suggest a number of people to be on the pool.. I'm just doing this real quickly and could have forgotten someone.

I agree with the highschool pitcher

Seems to be a lot of depth in hs arms and some serious quality. I would be thrilled of purke or matzek fell

i love me some donovan tate. i hear he’s falling and if he falls to 18, there’s no way the marlins can overlook him.
