Well you guys probably thought I would be talking about the NBA Finals, but you are just going to have to wait. The MLB Draft is in 5 days so I wanted to give you the top 15 teams and prospects. Who will draft who? Here you go.
1. Pittsburgh Pirates - Gerrit Cole, RHP, UCLA; Cole is arguably the best player in the draft. I think the Pirates will draft him.
2. Seattle Mariners - Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice; The Mariners would love to draft Rendon, he will be the best player available. He will also rack in some runs when you need him to, he can also be a golden glove player.
3. Arizona Diamondbacks - Danny Hultzen, LHP, Virgina; The Diamondbacks tried to draft him 3 years ago but he decided to stay Virgina, but if the DBACKS draft him this year they will get a guy who can boost up there pitching rotation.
4. Baltimore Orioles - Sonny Gray, RHP, Vanderbilt; Some people might have the Orioles drafting Trevor Bauer but I think Gray is more prepared for the MLB.
5. Kansas City Royals - Alex Meyer, RHP, Kentucky; Meyer has little bit of control problems but the Royals lost Zack Greinke and they need somebody to replace him so I think they will take a risk and go after him.
6. Washington Nationals - Trevor Bauer, RHP, UCLA; Bauer will fit perfectly along side Stephen Strausburgh
7. Arizona Diamondbacks (Loux - unsigned) - Dylan Bundy, RHP, Owasso (Okla.) HS; He might be coming out of High School but he doesn't throw like a kid when he hits 98 mph on the gun. If the Diamondbacks draft Hultzen and Bundy they will have two pitching aces that will both have great careers.
8. Cleveland Indians - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner - Edgarton (Kan.) HS; Bubba Starling is another High School player but he can help Grady Sizemore out in the out field.
9. Chicago Cubs - Matt Barnes, RHP, UConn; No he is not the basketball player, he is the college pitcher who throw a mean fastball, curveball, and slider. If the Cubs want a pitcher this is there guy.
10. San Diego Padres (Whitson - unsigned) - Fransisco Lindor, SS, Montverede (Fla.) Academy; He is the best infielder in the draft, he is 17 and the Padres want a guy for cheap, Lindor is what they want.
11. Houston Astros - Cory Spangenberg, SS, Indian River State College (Fla.); The Astros would want the best infielder in the draft but the second isn't so bad either.
12. Milwaukee Brewers - George Springer , OF, Connecticut; Springer can leran from Ryan Braun and help him out in the long run.
13. New York Mets - Taylor Jungman, RHP, Texas; The Mets could use a pitcher. Jungman can bring a mid-90's fastball to the table. He might be 6'6" but he has good control. The Mets could use him.
14. Florida Marlins - Archie Bradley, RHP, Broken Arrow (Okla.) HS; Archie can learn from Josh Johnson. Archie did get scholarship to play football at Oklahoma, but that will not stop the Marlins from pursuing him.
15. Milwaukee Brewers (Covey - unsigned) - Joe Ross, RHP, Bishop O'Dowd (Calif.) HS; WOW! You are probably saying another High School player but, Yes. Joe Ross is another High School player but he is just one of the guys who is overrated, that is why I put him at 15 instead of the top 10.
Thanks for reading, those were my predictions.
