Bio
School: The Woodlands High School, TX
Drafted: 2nd overall pick in 2010 by the Baltimore Orioles
Scouting Report: Taillon is the complete package in a high school pitcher, with tremendous size, stuff and a feel for pitching. He's got three plus pitches in his fastball, slider and curve. Even his changeup, while not used that much, is solid. He uses his size to his advantage and has tremendous mound presence. As impressive as his stuff is, his makeup might be even better. A commitment to Rice might sound intriguing, but if he goes at the top of the first round, and everything points to that happening, it likely won't be an issue. ~mlb.com

No must be an error? Cause your mock draft you have Taillon goin 2nd? So why at the top of this page does it say he went 3rd to Orioles? Need to correct your website, only site that thier mock draft is more correct then the actual draft itself? No one workign for site notices this mistake? He went 2nd, not 3rd! Like your mock draft says, ha.

I know the site is called "Baseball Rumor Mill" but you say Jameson Taillon is drafted 3rd overall by the Orioles, like its fact? Nothing about "we think" or "might go" you say "Drafteed 3rd overall by the Orioles" Sorry went #2 to the Pirates witch almsit every site had him going second so even if this was mock? Witch it doesnt read like it is? Your wrong on both! There was no doubt he ws the #2 choice by every scout, so were yo ucam eup with him going 3rd? And if this is really the Draft results? Yoe need to fix!! Either way you guys are clueless on both outcomes, prediction or sayin that were he really was picked? DONT READ LIKE A PREDICTION?
