MLB Mock Draft 2015: Version 2.0 1. Diamondbacks Arizona is believed to be trying to lower its profile a bit, but it’s tough when the general manager, Dave Stewart, remains highly recognizable from his all-star big league career. Stew can’t exactly slip in and slip out of ballparks like other scouts. His presence is why the Dbacks have been linked to prep hitters such as Georgia catcher Tyler Stephenson and New York outfielder Garrett Whitley, and Stewart has seen UC Santa Barbara’s Dillon Tate and Fulmer in the past two weeks. Most of the rest of the industry believes those players are headed in opposite directions. Tate remains a strong contender for the No. 1 overall pick, but his stock seems to be sliding a bit. He’s in uncharted waters innings-wise; he’s up to 88 innings, even after missing one start three weeks ago, and scouts and opposing Big West coaches report he’s working less and less off his fastball and relying more and more on his slider. Is that a sign that he’s not able to handle a starter’s workload? It’s his first attempt, and his finish might affect whether the D-backs pop him here. Fulmer is the surest big leaguer on the board, with a floor of elite closer. His makeup, competitiveness and athleticism are starting to out-weight the doubts scouts have about the head whack in his delivery and lack of ideal size. The industry consensus right now appears to be shifting to Fulmer over Tate, if you want a college starter, and that’s what we hear the Diamondbacks want. Selection: Carson Fulmer, rhp, Vanderbilt 2. Astros Arizona taking Fulmer would dash the Astros’ plans to take two Commodores with their first two picks, as industry rumors continue to swirl that GM Jeff Luhnow is high on both Dansby Swanson, Vanderbilt’s shortstop, and Fulmer. If the draft unfolds like this, it would be the first time one school produced the first two picks of the draft, topping UCLA in 2011 with Gerrit Cole (1) and Trevor Bauer (3). Selection: Dansby Swanson, ss, Vanderbilt 3. Rockies Presenting the Rockies with the choice of Tate and Jay would be fascinating to watch. All the buzz, though, is that Colorado loves the Illini lefty, who ranks second in the nation in ERA (0.70) and first in WHIP (0.62). However, the No. 1 player on BA’s board, Florida prep shortstop Brendan Rodgers, is still available and a better profile at No. 3 overall than a potential reliever. Selection: Brendan Rodgers, ss, Lake Mary (Fla.) HS 4. Rangers Texas continues to play close to the vest, but other clubs are starting to wonder if the Rangers actually would take one of the many college shortstops available, despite their strong track record of getting middle infielders from Latin America. Jurickson Profar is hurt; Rougned Odor was just sent back to the minors. Players the Rangers have traded such as Luis Sardinas and Leury Garcia, among others, have not come back to bite them. Texas is said to be bearing down on Louisiana State’s Alex Bregman. But if Tate is falling, his slide stops here. Selection: Dillon Tate, rhp, UC Santa Barbara 5. Astros Houston’s second pick could still be a Vandy boy, as Sunday starter Walker Buehler, who remains an enigma, is said to be in its mix as well. The Astros are also in on the strong prep outfield class, having been linked to Georgia’s Daz Cameron, New York prep Garrett Whitley, Florida’s Kyle Tucker and Dallas-area toolshed Trenton Clark. Selection: Kyle Tucker, of, Plant (Fla.) HS 6. Twins If Tate keeps falling, he’ll stop here. Minnesota remains linked to Cameron, but if the Twins want a college pitcher, they’re said to be intrigued by Buehler, who throws harder than UCLA’s James Karpielian and Missouri State’s Jon Harris. The Twins also will scrutinize Jay here. Selection: Daz Cameron, of, Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy, McDonough, Ga. 7. Red Sox It’s starting to get tricky for Boston, which has recently lamented its inability to develop homegrown arms. Sox scouts were at Funkhouser’s start Thursday, but it wasn’t a strong one. They’re likely to be tempted here by Buehler, who provides a chance for more impact than the fairly vanilla Funkhouser, but questions about his durability likely make this a bridge too far. Albuquerque was good to the Sox with catcher Blake Swihart, so they’ll try to grab Swihart’s friend Bregman here, breaking the hearts of several teams behind them. Selection: Alex Bregman, ss, LSU 8. White Sox The White Sox have been bearing down on college arms as well, an area they’ve had success with over the years. They’ve taken hard looks at Fulmer and Funkhouser, who we had in this spot last week. But the hometown allure of Jay, who could give the Sox another power lefty to go with Chris Sale and Carlos Rodon, could be too much to pass on. Selection: Tyler Jay, lhp, Illinois 9. Cubs While the Cubs again would like a pitcher, the value historically at the top of the draft is in bats. So this is the high spot, for now, of Arkansas’ high-riser Benintendi, who has shot up boards ahead of many of the high school outfielders on the board. He lacks size (he’s listed at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds) and track record; he stayed on campus last summer, and as one scout said, “It’ s not clear everybody knew he was eligible as a sophomore. Combine that with (Trey) Killian being hurt early, and teams didn’t really come in on Arkansas early, and I think he kind of snuck up on people.” Benintendi entered the weekend leading the nation in slugging (.780) and was leading the Southeastern Conference in batting (.405) and home runs (17) while going 20-for-23 on stolen bases. A college performer who’s a plus runner and can play center field, in this draft class, trumps his relatively short track record. Selection: Andrew Benintendi, of, Arkansas 10. Phillies A new scouting director in Johnny Almaraz might make it tough for the Phillies to be too bold, such as taking the relatively hometown pick of the draft’s top prep righty, Pennsylvania prep Mike Nikorak, or fast-rising Tennessee righty Donny Everett, who has some helium as the hardest thrower in the prep class. The bounce-back of Vanderbilt’s Buehler, though, gives the Phillies a hard-throwing college arm option. Selection: Walker Buehler, rhp, Vanderbilt -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ 地狱でいきなり圣书なんえ 読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！杀すえおっ！！ --
