On January 27, 2013, I had the pleasure of hosting and taking part in the first annual MLBDirt.com Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft. First things first, I want to thank Jonathan Mitchell, William Tasker, Daniel Marino, Charlie Nehl, Mike Schwartze, Wayne Bretsky, Ray Guilfoyle, Mike Hilbig, Mark Kaplan, Jeff Furtah, and Alex Kantecki for taking part in the draft. We had a mix of MLBDirt.com writers and six well respected Fantasy Baseball writers. All of these men are recommended follows on Twitter and I will give you their contact information at the end of the article. One thing that makes Fantasy Baseball fun is the different opinions you can get. These guys all have great insight and baseball knowledge.

Without any further adieu, here is the 2013 MLBDirt Mock Draft Results. Please feel free to comment and engage in discussion!

This is our third mock draft and you can view the other two here. Look forward to a few more mocks as the draft approaches, including a mock of the supplemental round. Enjoy.

2012 MLB Mock Draft: March Edition

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Michael Schwartze

College baseball is in full swing and high school baseball is getting underway. With that, it is time to start to looking towards that June draft more and more. Jonathan Mitchell and I have decided that we will be doing several mock drafts leading up to the draft and we would like to introduce the first of our MLB Draft mock drafts. It is still so early and so much could happen between now and the draft but we can still guess at where guys might go at this point. Jonathan and I alternated taking picks, providing some commentary on each pick as well. Here is the first addition of the MLB Dirt 2012 Mock Draft.

Final MLB Mock Draft

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

With the draft starting at 7pm EST we wanted to get one final mock up. There is a curculating rumor that the Mariners will take Francisco Lindor with the second pick but no hard evidence to prove it. If that does happen then blow up 99.999% of mocks. These picks are based more on what I am hearing through many media outlets and based on trends by teams and their scouting directors, with some picks being educated “gut picks”. Here it is:

 Pick  Team  Player
 1  Pirates  Gerrit Cole (RHP – UCLA)
 2  Mariners  Anthony Rendon (3B – Rice)

 8  Indians  Taylor Jungmann (RHP – Texas)
 9  Cubs  Matt Barnes (RHP – UConn)
 10  Padres  George Springer (OF – UConn)
 11  Astros  Francisco Lindor (SS – HS, FL)
 12  Brewers  Javier Baez (SS/3B – HS, FL)
 13  Mets  Sonny Gray (RHP – Vanderbilt)
 14  Marlins  Cory Spangenberg 3B – (Indian River St. Col.)
 15  Brewers  Jed Bradley (LHP – Georgia Tech)
 16  Dodgers  Chris Reed (LHP - Stanford)
 17  Angels  Robert Stephenson (RHP – HS, CA)
 18  A’s  Mikie Mahtook (OF – LSU)
 19  Red Sox  Alex Meyer (RHP – Kentucky)
 20  Rockies  Kolten Wong (2B – Hawaii)
 21  Blue Jays  Taylor Guerrieri (RHP – HS, SC)
 22  Cardinals  Dillon Howard (RHP – HS, AK)
 23  Nationals  Brian Goodwin (OF – Miami Dade JC)
 24  Rays  C.J. Cron (1B – Utah)
 25  Padres  Levi Michael (SS – North Carolina)
 26  Red Sox  Daniel Norris (LHP – HS, TN)
 27  Reds  Tyler Anderson (LHP – Oregon)
 28  Braves  Jose Fernandez (RHP – HS, FL)
 29  Giants  Joe Ross (RHP – HS, CA)

MLB Mock Draft

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

Doing a mock draft is so much fun but, reader beware, no one, and I mean no one, gets a good amount of the picks correct. Certain teams stay incredibly quiet, some teams have higher-ups that butt-in and take “their guy” (I’m looking at you, Rockies, when the scouting director wanted Evan Longoria but he was overruled in favor of Greg Reynolds) and bonus demands have not fully been leaked. Either way, they are still fun to do and to read, no matter who does them. With that said, here is my attempt at my first Mock Draft of the year:

Pick Team Player
1  Pirates  Gerrit Cole (RHP – UCLA)
2  Mariners  Anthony Rendon (3B – Rice)
3  Diamondbacks  Trevor Bauer (RHP – UCLA)
4  Orioles  Dylan Bundy (RHP – HS, OK)
5  Roylas  Danny Hultzen (LHP – Virginia)
6  Nationals  Bubba Starling (OF – HS, KS)
7  Diamondbacks  Sonny Gray (RHP – Vanderbilt)
8  Indians  Alex Meyer (RHP - Kentucky)
9  Cubs  Matt Barnes (RHP – UConn)
10  Padres  Francisco Lindor (SS – HS, FL)
11  Astros  Taylor Jungmann (RHP – Texas)
12  Brewers  Jed Bradley (LHP – Georgia Tech)
13  Mets  Cory Spangenberg 3B – (Indian River St. Col.)
14  Marlins  Jose Fernandez (RHP - HS, FL)
15  Brewers  C.J. Cron (1B – Utah)
16  Dodgers  Robert Stephenson (RHP – HS, CA)
17  Angels  George Springer (OF – UConn)
18  A’s  Mikie Mahtook (OF - LSU)
19  Red Sox  Archie Bradley (RHP – HS, OK)
20  Rockies  Kolten Wong (2B – Hawaii)
21  Blue Jays  Taylor Guerrieri (RHP – HS, SC)
22  Cardinals  Javier Baez (SS/3B – HS, FL)
23  Nationals  Brian Goodwin (OF – Miami Dade JC)
24  Rays  Levi Michael (SS – North Carolina)
25  Padres  Daniel Norris (LHP - HS, TN)
26  Red Sox  Tyler Beede (RHP - HS, MA)
27  Reds  Grayson Garvin (LHP – Vanderbilt)
28  Braves  Joe Ross (RHP – HS, CA)
