A new twist to the Mock Draft...

[Hutman]

Its a very interesting debate, but I think that KC right before us will take one of the Missouri pitchers either Crow or Melville. As much as we know that McPhail loves pitching I think the top 4 position prospects are just too tempting to pass up in an organization sorely lacking in plus hitters. Also, our lack of middle infield depth makes Beckham very tempting if he lasts.

I really think that its going to be Alvarez or Smoak at #4.

Another player to watch in Georgia shortstop Gordon Beckham. Showing all five tools very well so far. He's really opening eyes and could go top 5 if he keeps it up. He's the one guy I'm aware of that's really moving up the draft.

I don't see any way Beckham jumps into the top 5. If he can maintain this insane pace in conference play, he could go 10-15 -- otherwise I think he sits comfortably in the second half of the first round.
