I'm drafting for the Braves with the made-up picks 7, 39, 56 amd 87 tonight. (yes, that is cheating but it is no fun to do a mock draft where you only get 2 picks on day 1.)
I'm not really trying to go college players, if anything my philosophy is more HS-heavy, but I've seen the college guys much more so they are currently dominating my draft.
This is just the raw version. I'll flesh it out with a more detailed analysis of my though process later.
7. Mike Leake RHP Arizona State. He is just so good. I feel he will be a really good MLB pitcher.
Who I might have taken...Aaron Crow, RHP, Indy ball. Grant Green SS USC. Alex White RHP UNC Shelby Miller RHP TX HS
39 Kentrail Davis OF Tennessee. I still think he is loaded with talent. The fact that the Braves suck in the OF doesn't hurt either.
Who I might have taken... Mychal Givens, SS, FL HS. Everett Willaims, OF, TX HS, Tyler Skaggs LHP CA HS, Matt Bashore LHP Indiana U, Tanner Scheppers RHP indy ball. Rich Poythress 1b UGA
56 Robert Stock RHP USC. He has been a disappointment at catcher, but that has caused him to be really overlooked as a pitcher. His stuff has been there and he has been one of the country's most domination strikeout pitchers. The only concern is that the rumors are he doesn't want to pitch and won't sign as such
Who I might have taken... Brian Goodwin, OF, NC HS. Chris Dominguez, 3b, Louisville. Kyle Seager, 2b/3b/ UNC. AJ Morriss RHP Kansas State. Alex Wilson RHP Texas A/M
Pick 87 coming up..

My third round pick
was Wil Myers. Chris Dominguez, Alex Wilson and Kyle Seager going just a few picks prior was a killer.
Also in the discussion was Nick Liles, IF, Western Carolina – Adam Warren, RHP, UNC – Ryan Jackson, SS, Miami – Kent Matthes, OF, Alabama – Brooks Raley, OF/LHP, Texas A/M – Max Stassi, C, Cali HS (actually I forgot about him until after I made my pick here. I probably would have taken him in round 2) – Zach von Rosenburg, Brody Colvin, AJ Morris, Brian Goodwin again, Jeff Malm, Jake Cowan

Just a note
You may have taken Stock as a RHP, but the Cardinals had him announced as a catcher . . .perhaps they’re willing to gamble on letting him catch, and then if it doesn’t work out they can convert him in a couple of years to pitcher?

Oh I know what they did
and it goes along with Stock being unsignable as a C, I’m just saying what i would have called him as

Much better than what Frank Wren did
Really puzzled as to how they thought Minor was better than Leake
