MOCK RECAP 2021
1.
Wave the Jolly Roger Flag here.
As expected they cut a deal at 1-1 and push projecatble HS talent down for over$lot….. Made no sense to take Mayer 1-1.
2.
Jack Leiter, the star-power at the top the Rangers where looking for…
Lawlar and Mayer got kicked around but Watson was more of an option at 2.
3.
The Tigers came out with a roar and took Jobe, #2 on my board. Followed it up w/ Madden, Pachecho and D. Smith.
4.
Mayer checked all the boxes for the Sawx’s VP of scouting early in the season….
5.
There was some late buzz with McLain here…..
I was expecting a big HS name with next pick……Reed Trimble & John Rhodes reap the reward here.
6.
The Snakes take a risk w/ Lawlar and back him up with safe picks Bliss & Del Castillo.
7.
Finally, the draft began at No. 7.
I expected a prep LHP to sneak in the top 15 but I thought it be Solomento. Mozzicatto and Kudrna split the money pool here, both would have been top 15 picks in 3 years.
8.
Benny gives them the athleticism they need in Coors field.
9.
I anticipated Rocker slipping month’s ago. But the asking price was too high here.
Pre-draft deal here with Bachman to slide Ky Bush to pick #45
10.
Rocker’s negotiating window started here…
Came down to Mets and Nats. With the Nats parachuting to Nashville late in the season. New York gets a famous name at 10.
11.
The Nats love big names and went for a household name here as I predicted.
12
The M’s buck a trend and are players in the showcase circuit now.
13.
The city of brotherly love, had love for Painter here.
14.
This shifted to Bednar favor down the stretch.
15.
Had a strong urge to mock McLain here
16.
Jeter takes Watson with a smile on his face.
Excellent pre-draft handshake here.
17.
With so many picks I thought the ‘ol red-legs would try their gambling hands…..
18.
I picked McGreevy here in my first mock and I did it again
19.
The Jays typically go college with 1st pick, so never bought in to Jay Allen here.
20.
I expect Sweeney to get slight haircut here for Selvidge & Fitts.
20.
Wicks get a buzz cut as Cubbies try their gambling hands w/ Drew Gray…..
Triantos is the most under the radar pick IMO.
21.
The A’s weren’t the only team on Muncy’s trail, masked or unmasked.
Eventually Colson came at a better price. Allows them to pay Kath & McDougal.
22.
The computer is skewed to pick arms..
Gavin Williams donates his locks to Jake Fox.
23.
In a post-vax world ATL targeted arms.
24.
The A’s went overslot last year for Tyler Soderstorm. And did it again here.
25.
Gotta think Petty and the Twins did a bit of a dance until a deal got done.
Miller will get a haircut here.
26.
Perhaps some bleeps and expletives when Mozzicato inked a deal w/ KC.
27.
Two for one with a discount double-check is Tampa’s type
28.
It was “Think Blue” with Max Muncy and Carson Williams but eventually LA zeroed in on LH pitchers within their draft budget.
