Grant Green received the most votes and is the #16 overall pick. Jonathan Singleton gave him a run and Jason Kipnis, and Drew Store were also represented. There are still three ready, or near ready MLB arms and a lot of power bats out there.

1. Stephen Strasburg, RHP, WSH
2. Mike Trout, OF, LAA
3. Wil Myers, OF, KC
4. Dustin Ackley, 2B, SEA
5. Shelby Miller, RHP, STL
