That would sure seem to suggest that he might be available with our supplemental picks rather than our very first one. BA predicts Shooter Hunt to go at 24. I don't know that he'd be included in my list of big names anymore; he seems to be this year's equivalent of Nick Schmidt: supposedly durable with pretty good stuff but more pedestrian results than you'd expect. BA does not have Hewitt going to anyone in the first round, but they do say that Philly and Colorado have interest in him.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-194243">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> For what it’s worth, Schlereth ranks 60th on the BA list of draftable players.

BA predicts Shooter Hunt to go at 24. I don’t know that he’d be included in my list of big names anymore; he seems to be this year’s equivalent of Nick Schmidt: supposedly durable with pretty good stuff but more pedestrian results than you’d expect.

Big names that BA predicts to still be on the board at that point include Collier, Castro, Havens, and Kelly. I really can't see how a college reliever who has already undergone Tommy John surgery would represent the "best available player" if those other kids are there.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-194236">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> BA’s final mock draft is finally up, and they have us taking Daniel Schlereth, LH reliever out of Arizona.

It's not always true. Besides, if his tools project to CF and we move him there immediately, that could be a very good buy. Buster Posey has reportedly told the Rays he wants 12 million dollars, which seems to be a transparent attempt to get past the first few picks to a team that won't quibble so much over a million. That could set up an interesting ripple with Jason Castro, depending on whether any team calls Posey's bluff before he gets to the Dodgers, Tigers, or Mets.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-194228">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #2@Coronado Mike: Khalil was projected to move off SS by many scouts when he was drafted.
