1.      Washington - RHP Stephen Strasburg (San Diego State): With a struggling pitching rotation and Strasburg being the best player in this year's draft overall, this is a no-brainer.

2.      Seattle - RHP Alex White (North Carolina): Fellow Tar Heel Dustin Ackley would be very tempting as he would provide much-needed relief at first base and in the outfield; but pitching is the focus right now, so White would be the better pick.

3.      San Diego - 1B/OF Dustin Ackley (North Carolina): Replacing centerfielder Mike Cameron with Jim Edmonds will haunt them if the don't draft Ackley. Edmonds just doesn't have the range.

4.      Pittsburgh - RHP Aaron Crow (Fort Worth Cats): Following the loss of Jason Bay in the three-team trade during this past season, the Pirates may be tempted to take outfielder Donovan Tate; but Crow would be my pick.

5.      Baltimore - SS Grant Green (USC): I would be very tempted to take a guy like Matt Purke, but at this point, Green is just too good to pass on. Especially when Green has exploded this past year.

6.      San Francisco - LHP Matt Purke (Klein HS, Texas): Once again, I strongly consider taking Donovan Tate, but I can't pass on Purke, who has great command of his pitches and throws deep into games.

7.      Atlanta - OF Donovan Tate (Cartersville HS, Georgia): While the Braves have a top outfield prospect in Jordan Schaefer, Tate is too good to pass on and Tate just can't go any lower.

8.      Cincinnati - RHP Kyle Gibson (Missouri): Coming off of a troubling season from the Red's pitching, Gibson, who has good offspeed pitching and solid command, should provide some relief.

9.      Colorado - LHP Tyler Matzek (Capistrano Valley HS, California): The Rockies have a decent pitching staff, however, the lack a good back-of-the-rotation thrower. The 6'7" Matzek might just be that guy.

10.  Detroit - OF Kentrail Davis (Tennessee): The question right now is leftfield. Is it Jones or Inge? Consistent or Power? Davis is both consistent and powerful.

11.  Kansas City - RHP Jacob Turner (Westminister Christian Academy, Missouri): I'd really think about taking shortstop Robbie Shields or Ryan Jackson, but the Royal's starting pitchers are just all over the place right now.

12.  Oakland - SS Robbie Shields (Florida Southern): Keith Law ranked him as the #10 prospect in the entire draft, he still has a lot to prove, but could develop into a strong player.

13.  Texas - LHP Andy Oliver (Oklahoma State): The Rangers pitching staff is terribly inconsistent. Oliver has an above average fastball and he would be my pick.

14.  Cleveland - INF Matt Davidson (Yucaipa HS, California): While Davidson is probably a bit of a reach; Davidson showed good contact and some power potential. He's also flexible playing a range of positions from shortstop to third base or even outfield.

15.  Arizona - SS Ryan Jackson (Miami): Jackson offers great speed and athleticism as well as a good glove. As a bonus, he has decent power too as a possible 15-20 home run type of guy.

16.  LA Dodgers - RHP Tanner Sheppers (St. Louis Saints): He has a delivery in the mid-upper 90s and has great control over his fastball. He doesn't command his curve that great, but that should develop over time making him a solid back-end rotation.

17.  Florida - C Max Stassi (Yuba City HS, California): Taking RHP Mychal Givens is tempting, but he's still too raw on the mound. Stassi on the other hand makes excellent contact and is a great receiver behind the plate with above average arm strength.

18.  Toronto - SS/RHP Mychal Givens (Plant HS, Florida): Since Givens is now more of a pitching prospect, with the solid pitching rotation the Jays have, Toronto could try him from the bullpen. If that doesn't work out, he might develop into a solid shortstop.

19.  Minnesota - RHP Chris Jenkins (Westfield HS): At 6'6", Jenkins fires the ball in the mid-upper 90s; his secondary pitches have potential as well. However, it's his frame and arm strength that could fire the kid into stardom.

20.  Houston - RHP Daniel Webb (Okalossa-Walton CC): Webb features a good fastball in the low 90s with good movement as well as two solid offspeed pitches. Webb should be a good fit for the Astro's future back-end in the rotation.

21.  CHI White Sox - RHP Alex Wilson (Texas A&M): Prior to Wilson's Tommy John surgery, Wilson commanded a mid 90s fastball with a devastating slider and solid changeup. If he returns like that, look for him to go much earlier.

22.  NY Mets - RHP Zack Wheeler (East Paulding HS, Georgia): I considered both OF Brian Goodwin and C Austin Maddox, but with the aging fragile starters in Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez, Wheeler has a ton of upside and could provide relief in a possible six-man pitching rotation.

23.  NY Yankees - RHP Scott Bittle (Ole Miss): With Joba Chamberlain now a starter, there is a gaping hole in the bullpen. Bittle, who was drafted by the second round by the Yankees last year but chose to return to Ole Miss, features a great cutter, a good changeup, and held opponents to a .100 batting average.

24.  Milwaukee - C Austin Maddox (Eagle's View Academy, Florida): Like Stassi, Maddox is another stud catcher in this year's draft. His swing and size are both perfect for a power hitter. He also probably has the strongest arm behind the plate in this class and throws well enough to double at pitcher.

25.  Philadelphia - RHP Chad Thompson (El Toro HS, California): While at 6'8", Thompson is probably the tallest in this year's draft, he's a little slow for his size. Still, he commands an upper 80s-lower 90s fastball and has great potential.

26.  Boston - OF Brian Goodwin (Rocky Mount HS, North Carolina): Goodwin runs well, has a good arm, makes solid contact, as well as having good range. However, he lacks power. His stock fell big-time primarily because of signability, as he is committed to the University of North Carolina.

27.  Tampa Bay - 3B/1B Bobby Borchering (Bishop Verot HS, Florida): Borchering has the height to become a real power hitter, however, he still needs to fill that out. When he does, his stock should skyrocket.

28.  CHI Cubs - LHP Mike Minor (Vanderbilt): This might be just a bit of a reach, but Minor was outstanding for the US Junior National team this summer. He throws his fastball in the upper 80s-lower 90s and commands a devastating changeup.

29.  LA Angels - C Luke Bailey (Troup HS, Cartersville HS): Another terrific catcher in this year's class, unlike Jeff Mathis or Mike Napoli, he has solid contact and power. He is also good behind the dish.
