The Brewers were able to re-build their organization from top to bottom by placing a revitalized interest in scouting and player development, with Zduriencik trusting his scouting staff to find the best players in the nation with an emphasis on tools. That means this pick is likely to be based on the best player available philosophy, even if it will be Tom McNamara calling the shot and not Zduriencik. While the Mariners have a tough call to make, since the talent after Strasburg is really up for debate, my guess is that with the team’s first pick serving as the team’s GM he does something he didn’t do in nine years with the Brewers: Take a college pitcher in the first round. Five-tool prep star Donovan Tate is probably the only other player I could seeing going at this selection, but the pitching depth is just too good to pass up at this point. The Mariners do have two extra, early picks this year, the 27th and 33rd overall picks, since type A free agent Raul Ibanez signed with the Phillies.
