MLB Draft Updates From Law and Churchill
The espn.com draft team of Keith Law and Jason Churchill have five (yes, FIVE!) draft updates for us today. You can find each of them here, here, here, here and here. We'll summarize them for you in one convenient location...below.
- The Pirates are interested in Tony Sanchez, Zach Wheeler, Matt Hobgood and Grant Green.
- Law likes the following: Wheeler to Baltimore, Tyler Matzek to San Francisco and Alex White to Atlanta.
- The Braves like Matt Purke but don't want to pay him over slot.
- Atlanta's choice is between White and Mike Minor. Churchill thinks Drew Storen is in the mix at #7 too.
- The Reds would like Minor, but if the Braves take him Chad Jenkins and Storen are options for them.
- Jenkins and Storen are also options for the Nationals at #10
- Churchill says that is Storen gets past the Nationals at #10, he might fall all the way out of the first round. The Angels and Mariners like him, but likely do not have him high enough on their draft boards to select him in the 20s. The Twins have some interest in Storen, but prefer Billy Bullock.
- Bobby Borchering may be the favorite to the Rockies at #11, even over Hobgood.
- If the Rockies do take Borchering at #11, the Diamondbacks will take AJ Pollock and Matt Davidson with their picks at 16 and 17.
- If Kansas City takes Mike Leake with #12 - and indications are that they are seriously considering it - Oakland would then choose between Green, Mike Trout and possibly Donovan Tate.
- Max Stassi worked out for the Red Sox this morning.
- St. Louis is rumored be interested in Purke.
- Detroit might not want to spend the money that Purke and Jacob Turner are rumored to be demanding. If so, Rex Brothers and Chad James become options for them at #9. The Tigers have also been linked to Borchering, Mike Trout and Reymond Fuentes.
- The Padres like Donovan Tate at #3, but if they feel they can't afford him, they'll go with Wheeler. That would mean the Orioles take Hobgood.
