2012 MLB Mock Draft: Final Edition

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Michael Schwartze

The MLB Draft is Monday and we are only a few days away. This is our final mock draft and we went all out for this one. Jonathan and I alternated picks as usual, me starting off with the Astros. Our other three mock drafts have been only the first round but this one we decided to do the supplemental too. Once we got going, we decided we’d keep going and do the second round too. Each pick has a report and our reasoning. I can’t wait till Monday comes and we see teams surprise everyone, going against all the mock drafts. Enjoy.

2012 MLB Mock Draft: April Edition

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Michael Schwartze

The draft is getting closer and closer and its time for the second edition of our MLB Mock draft. We rolled out our first one in mid-March but a lot has changed since then. Players have seen their stocks rise while some have seen theirs really fall. Jonathan Mitchell and I have switched back and fourth taking picks and I kicked things off with the first pick. 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.

The Rich Getting Richer: An Early look at the Blue Jays 2012 Draft

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Michael Schwartze

With prospect rankings being released left and right, it is no doubt that the Blue Jays have one of the best, and deepest farm systems in the league. In this year’s Baseball America Prospect Handbook, the Jays organization ranked 5^th overall. I would personally rank the system one or two spots higher, but regardless, the system is looking very good. It is highlighted by catcher Travis d’Arnaud who is one of the best catching prospects in all of baseball, if not the best. Following him is a pair of high ceiling outfielders in Anthony Gose and Jake Marisnick, and then a lot, and I mean a lot, of high upside starting pitchers. Prospects 3-10 on the Baseball America top 10 for the system are all pitchers.

Alex Anthopoulos has been doing a fantastic job building this system, really stressing the importance on scouting and the draft. In 2010 the Jays spent $11.6 million on the draft and then $11 million in 2011. Well this year, the Jays will look to make another big splash in the draft with a lot of picks early on.
