------
Notes:

-Still going with Gordon at 1.1 at this time even though tons still have Aiken there. Really don't think Gordon is a smokescreen.

-Marlins front office is seemingly going to win out and get Alex Jackson, the best bat in the draft.

-Still think Twins and Kolek are made for each other. People at the top still seemed to be scared off by Kolek.

-The Phillies aren't going to take a college arm or else Nola will be coming back to LSU next year.

-Blue Jays are heating up on Trea Turner.

-Freeland has gone up and down on mock drafts, but has been linked to the Mets numerous times. Think people view Nola as a better arm, which I disagree with.

-Had to choose between Toussaint and Hoffman at 11. Tough choice, but think they go with the higher ranked Toussaint at this point.

-Nationals could go Fedde at 18, but if Gatewood is there, they take him instead.

-Nick Burdi is the only lock in this draft, going to the Tigers at 23.

-Offchance Ortiz goes ahead of 27, but the Cards really want him.

-Indians seem to be going in on Chavis if he's still there

-Verdugo leaps onto the board, as he could go higher, but the Red Sox are the most likely destination at 33.
