2013 MLB Mock Draft: Version One

228

This is far too early for a true Mock, but everyone likes to read them, so without further ado, here it is. This is more for information purposes than where I think players will go. It's way too early to predict that.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Kohl Stewart, Tomball, Texas HS

Kohl Stewart is one of the few potential front line arms in the 2013 draft. His athleticism has him as a top prospect in two sports.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Dominic Ficociello, 1B/3B, Arkansas

Switch-hitting cornerman Dominic Ficociello isn't a typical profile player for those positions. The power is underwhelming and the bat is inconsistent but there is a lot of potential.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Ryan Eades, P, Louisiana State University

Ryan Eades has the stuff to be a frontline starter but has yet to rise above the #3 starter for LSU. That won't stop him from being drafted highly in the 2013 Draft.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Dominic Smith, 1B, Los Angeles, California HS

Smith is one of the most unique talents in the 2013 draft. He can play all around the diamond and shows huge power potential.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Zack Collins, 1B, American Heritage HS, Florida

Collins has the potential to hit in the middle of an MLB order if all things break right.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Colin Moran, 1B/3B, North Carolina

Sweet swinging lefty may end up at first baseman but could be a solid third baseman if his defense develops. He is the best tar heel bat since Dustin Ackley.

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Brian Ragira, OF, Stanford

Brian Ragira is one of the better hitters in the upcoming baseball draft. How early will teams gamble on the potential of the big Stanford hitter?

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Cord Sandberg, OF, Bradenton, FL

Cord Sandberg is a raw athlete with a ton of potential, but will he commit to baseball full-time?

2013 Draft Profile: Clint Frazier, OF, Loganville, GA

High School outfielder Clint Frazier has all the tools you'd want in a top of the draft talent.

2013 Draft Profile: Austin Meadows, OF, Grayson, GA

11

Austin Meadows has the speed for CF, the power to be a star and looks the part. The question is if he will barrel up the ball enough to be a star.

2013 Draft Profile: Trey Williams, 3B, College of the Canyons (JC)

7

On field play and effort as well as other things caused Trey Williams to slip in the 2012 draft. Can he redeem himself in 2013?

2013 MLB Draft Profile: Josh Hart, OF, Lilburn, Georgia

Matt Garrioch looks at Georgia high school outfielder Josh Hart

2013 Draft Profile: Kris Bryant, 1B, San Diego

Kris Bryant looks like he could be a middle of the order masher in the near future.

2013 Draft Profile: Aaron Judge, OF/P, Fresno State

Judge is a huge man who can hit the ball a mile but also has a long swing. The power is there, what about the rest?

2013 Draft Profile: Karsten Whitson, RHP, Florida

Karsten Whitson could be a #2 starter if all works out. Can the top 10 pick in 2010 repeat the feat?

2013 Draft Profile: Brandon Thomas, OF, Georgia Tech

Enigmatic Brandon Thomas will get another shot in this years draft after not signing in 2012.

2013 Draft Profile: Sean Manaea, LHP, Indiana State

The top college lefty in the 2013 draft comes from a less familiar place but has amazing results.

2013 Draft Profile: Justin Williams, OF, Houma, Louisiana, Terrebonne HS

Justin Williams has the most power of any high school draft prospect for 2013. He launched shots into the upper deck at Metrodome multiple times and could be a middle of the order bat.

2013 MLB Draft Order

22

The current order of the MLB Draft for 2013. The Astros will have the first shot for the second year in a row.

2013 Draft Profile: Austin Wilson, OF, Stanford

33

Austin Wilson passed on millions out of high school to go to Stanford. Has his stock risen or fallen?

2013 Draft Profile: Mark Appel, RHP, Stanford

49

After passing on signing with the Pirates after being drafted in the 2012 draft, Appel is a favorite to go 1st overall in the 2013 draft.

2013 Draft Profile: Ryne Stanek, RHP, Arkansas

11

University of Arkansas ace Ryne Stanek looks to be one of the top arms available in the 2013 draft.

2012 Non-Drafted Free Agents of Interest

This is the deepest of the deep sleepers but there are a few guys that I would have attempted to sign if I were an MLB GM looking for some minor league depth and potentially more.

My take on the top players at the Under Armour Game at Wrigley Field this weekend. Many of them will be millionaires by this time next year thanks to the 2013 MLB Draft. These are names to know for MLB fans. A couple will be future stars.
