eMLB 2015 Mock Draft

Well I couldn't take Doyel's far out reaches on some picks so I decided to do one and looking at teams rosters and most likely future direction.  Whether that's making a realistic run or loading up for 2016.


1.1  North Texas Ranger -  OF - Mike Trout:  The most sought after pick and the hardest to acquire because of Trout.  Still After Adrian traded his team to Keith for Trout I hope he gets his money worth...  He is the top player though.. Still all that talent he moved is hard to replace.  Here is tyour 2016 Lottery team..

1.2  Dallas Redbirds - OF Bryce Harper:  Well ok maybe Doyel is really set on taking an always hurt OF with huge upside.  Glad it's not me putting a 5 year on an unproven...   Still Harper has a high ceiling.

1.3  South Texas Heat - OF Corey Dickerson:  I know Berg said he would look to take Kershaw here but he's told me in the past he won't move up to take a pitcher.  I believe him there and he normally isn't a 1st round pitcher.  Look at his past staff.  Still I really like Dickerson.  He's got everything you love from a hitter except for SB.  30HR guy here in Coors.

1.4  Montgomery Biscuits - SP Clayton Kershaw:  With Berg passing Carson gets his main target in Kershaw.  I have him as the #2 overall pick in the draft.  Can't go wrong and probably get a 3 year even though I hesitate putting one on a pitcher.  Rather a 2+1 then a 3+1.

1.5  Flying Squirrels of the Republic - OF Adam Jones:  Still one of the elite OF.  Doesn't walk a lot and SB have slowed but you can't find a safer pick here then Jones.  I had him last year and he was a very important part to my teams run.

1.6 Raging Katatafish - OF - Yasiel Puig: Puig still working his way up to being one of the leagues premiere hitters and maybe he takes a step forward with his power.  Only thing limiting him is those power numbers.  Nice 3 year keeper here.

1.7  Arizona Desert Swarm - OF - Matt Kemp:  Team has 1 OF and will look to fill a power bat.  Having filled his 3B I see this a better 3 year keeper.  Look for them to use their last 3 year spot with Kemp and give him a 25+ HR OF.

1.8  San Antonio Fire Ants - 3B Adrian Beltre:  Still the leagues best 3B even at his age a solid 2 year should be put on him with option for 3.  I wasn't sure if they wanted to grab a 3B here or wait till round 2 possibly Zimmerman and take Cruz.  Still this is one of the safer bets at this point in the 1st.

1.9  Oviedo Knights - C/1B/3B Carlos Santana:  I moved up hoping a Kemp or Dickerson or Beltre slipped.  In this possible scenario This would be some one I would lean towards because of his Multi..  Nice options for late rin the draft.

1.10  North Texas - N/A

1.11 South Texas Heat - 1B/3B Chris Davis:  Berg's 2nd pick he loves the big power bats.  IE Chris Carter.  Berg is making a run for 2016 and Davis will help give him the power he will need next year..  I know Broskey is getting annoyed.  Wonder if he makes a desperate move to leapfrog him..

1.12  Charlotte Orios - OF Nelson Cruz:  Broskey Wanted Davis for sure but I think Cruz gives him a solid back up plan.  Now in Seattle and a different team so a drop in numbers across the board is to be expected.  Still a 80/80 25HR is a good floor.  Solid 2 year keeper for him.

1.13 Raging Katatafish - SP Yu Darvish:  Ryan is in rebuild mode again..  sigh...  Still Getting Puig early and now locking up one of the top 5 SP in the game will give him a great foundation.  I still think Harvey is in his sights somewhere soon.  Wouldn't be completely shocked if he took him there

1.14  Olivet Killer Eagles - 2B Jason Kipnis: This is one of the worst positions if someone doesn't fall from the expected.  I don't see Larry staying here.  Look for a trade either before or during draft.. If he does make a pick I like Kipnis here.  Should be a solid 3 year..

1.16  Mid Michigan Tigers - 3B/OF Ryan Zimmerman:  He isn't ranked as a first rounder but Tigers looking for OF and only other to consider is Calhoun but I don't think he has the power numbers Keith will be looking for.  While I don't have that pick any more..


Well I tried to do a look at free agent class and teams current needs and teams past trends in drafting style.  Not going to get them all right but hey.  It's my best guess..
