Baseball America just released their latest mock draft.  I'd like to see how that plays into the Rockies' pick at #11.  According to BA Strasburg, Ackley, Minor, Crow, Gibson, Matzek, Wheeler, Scheppers, Turner, and Jenkins will be gone by my pick.  Other than Jenkins and Minor I would likey take any of those players at #11 if they fell there.  However, let's assume that they don't.   Also, let's rule out Donovan Tate and Matt Purke because the Rockies have two extra first rounders and going over slot isn't likely feasible for them.

Taking all that into account, according to BA the highest rated players left are Alex White (6th overall), Shelby Miller (11), Grant Green (13), Mike Leake (14), and Tim Wheeler (15).  According to Law the best available are Shelby Miller (5), James Paxton (8), Alex White (9), Mike Leake (11), and Grant Green (14).

I'm not a terribly big Alex White fan, but he'd have to be under consideration here.  Perhaps someone can convince me why I shouldn't care about his command, blah slider, and consistency issues.  I will not take Grant Green under any circumstances as I think he's severely overrated.  James Paxton intrigues me, but I think 11 is too high. 

That leaves Miller, Leake, and Wheeler.  Leake makes a lot of sense here, and is who I was leaning towards initially.  I love that he's been so successful in a tough pitching environment, ala Coors Field.  Command, good movement on his fastball, good changeup -- all traits I'm looking for in a Coors Field pitcher.  Could care less about his height. 

However, Miller is really growing on me.  Plus fastball velocity with very good movement, changeup and slider both sound promising, clean delivery.  If both he and Leake are there I think I'd have a tough choice. 

Wheeler is intriguing, but a non-elite bat outfielder doesn't seem like a good fit here, and there are other college outfielders I like nearly as much that should be available at 32/34.

Other players I'm considering are: Bobby Borchering (I really like his bat, will have room at first or third and think his bat is fine at either), Chad James (value command), and Matt Davidson (him and Coors seem like a good match).  

Given the above, who would youe take?
