upton
Upton first. no surprise.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:16 PM EDT reply actions  

mariners
Mariners pick Clement. Baseball America was right.

Now we will see the ripples!

zimmerman
Zimmerman to Nats as expected.

Now it will start to get interesting. Brewers??

braun
Braun to the Brewers. I like him a lot.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:20 PM EDT reply actions  

romero
Romero to Jays, Tulowitzki to the Rockies. Not Hochevar! How low will the Boras guys go??

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:21 PM EDT reply actions  

pelfrey
Pelfrey to the Mets, the first Boras guy. Townsend to Tampa Bay. Some risk due to his holdout but good upside.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:23 PM EDT reply actions  

tools
Toolsy outfielders make a run, Maybin, McCutchen, Bruce to the Tigers, Pirates, and Reds.

snyder
Snyder goes to the Orioles. Sorry Angels Mock Drafters!! :)

Snyder may be my favorite high school hitter this year.

BA is getting everything exactly
Got my nats tickets. Lousy Seats: opening night(D'backs), 5/14(Cubs). Good Seats: 6/2(Braves), 6/9(A's), 7/5(Mets)

by natsfan2005 @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

BA
Yep. BA knows their stuff. Excellent predictions.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Definitely some surprises so far
Maybe the Yankees will end Hochevar's slide

by mtk52983 on Jun 7, 2005 1:28 PM EDT reply actions  

broad
Broadway to the White Sox. I like him but I think this is a slight overdraft. I know he's pitching great right now but his rise seems overhyped to me.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:28 PM EDT reply actions  

volstad
first HS pitcher to the Marlins, home state guy in Volstad.

Yanks get C.J. Henry. Great athleticism but risky.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:29 PM EDT reply actions  

BA
BA is right on for 17 picks.  That is incredible acurate.  They are on.

by Tyler on Jun 7, 2005 1:29 PM EDT reply actions  

carillo
Carillo to Padres. Should rise rapidly, nice combo with STauffer.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:30 PM EDT reply actions  

BA
Has almost made this boring

by irwin @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:30 PM EDT reply actions  

rangers
Rangers grab Mayberry. First MAJOR surprise in my opinion.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:31 PM EDT reply actions  

A's
now@!

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Mayberry
Why is Mayberry such a surprise?

by jrbro on Jun 7, 2005 1:32 PM EDT reply actions  

mayberry
I think he's five picks too high. just my opinion.

pennington to Oakland.

BA needs some serious kudos.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

re: mayberry
you can't exactly trade down like the NFL. So as long as your only overdrafting by 5-8 slots rather than 20 slots I think its fine.

by natsfan2005 @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

BA
Is what, 21 for 21?

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

pawalek
Pawalek to Cubs. Typical high school risk but great upside.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

BA
BA is en fuego!

by Ur on Jun 7, 2005 1:34 PM EDT reply actions  

ell
Ellsbury to Boston. Moneyball/stathead pick.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:34 PM EDT reply actions  

ba's streak ended at 18
Which is totally ridiculous. Best mock draft I've ever seen for any sport.

by adesai on Jun 7, 2005 1:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Aaron Thompson
Wow, i just got what, 30 extra points for that pick of Thompson?

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:35 PM EDT reply actions  

I am still shocked to see Hansen and Hochevar
Still there.  Teams are stupid for letting them slide this far

by mtk52983 on Jun 7, 2005 1:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Not bragging
I'm just extremely amazed.

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:35 PM EDT reply actions  

garza
Garza to the Twins. I like Torra better.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Boras
How low will his guys go.

by Tyler on Jun 7, 2005 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Holly Crap
Whoever drafted Garza at 79 just got 50 bonus points!

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

WOW
Calling Hasen at 26 is a money call.  That's amazing.

by Tyler on Jun 7, 2005 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

hansen
Hansen to the Red Sox. another boras guy off the board.

devine to the Braves. a mild surprise.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Nice move by the Braves
Just what the doctor ordered for that team.

by mrkupe on Jun 7, 2005 1:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah...
But only if he makes the team this year, right?

by boisvert42 on Jun 7, 2005 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

cards
Cards buck college history with Rasmus. Interesting.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Rasmus
guess they thought they needed youth in the system.  Lowrie in 2 spots?

by sdangler on Jun 7, 2005 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

marc
Marceaux to the Marlins. good budget pick.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:38 PM EDT reply actions  

greene
Greene to Cards. More in fittingw ith history. Good glove, bat??

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Greene
Here's hoping he can move fast.

by sdangler on Jun 7, 2005 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

ha
only two off!

by Alien @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hovchevar
Out of the first round.  Wow.  

by Tyler on Jun 7, 2005 1:39 PM EDT reply actions  

There is still the supplemental round
A team like Anaheim, whose first pick is that supplemental, could go for Hochevar

by mtk52983 on Jun 7, 2005 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

diary
Question in the diaries: who is the biggest surprise in the first round?

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Biggest Surprise
Hochevar not being drafted.

by MarkS on Jun 7, 2005 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Argh
Marceuax. I was hoping he'd be at 36, too bad.

by ohad @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:40 PM EDT reply actions  

BA
how different was todays BA projections from their last projections, as Rays fan not sure about Townsend.....BA has some good contacts!

by flajoe on Jun 7, 2005 1:41 PM EDT reply actions  

astros
Boguesevic

by flajoe on Jun 7, 2005 1:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Yankees
Man, I can't believe that both Hochevar and Hansen were available and the Yankees didn't snap one up.

by amol on Jun 7, 2005 1:52 PM EDT reply actions  

re
Indians took Crowe.  I don't see that pick on here.

by bootsy on Jun 7, 2005 1:53 PM EDT reply actions  

crowe
Crowe, yes forgot that one. Solid all-around guy like him.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Henry
What's the report on Henry, specifically, plate discipline and power.

by cinthree on Jun 7, 2005 1:54 PM EDT reply actions  

henry
Henry: outstanding athlete, a bit raw. Good power. No word on plate discipline.

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2005 1:55 PM EDT reply actions  

why the pause?
why the big pause in the draft?

by natsfan2005 @ Minor League Ball on Jun 7, 2005 1:56 PM EDT reply actions  

pause
the Yankees aren't back from the potty break.  j/k
