[Former Cardinals GM (Stein)]

I guess I'll start us off ...

With pick 1.1 the Cardinals draft Anthony Rendon - 3B - Washington Nationals

[Deleted]

The Giants are gonna dream big and make a reach already:

1.2 Bubba Starling, OF, KC

[Former Nationals GM (Alan)]

In an effort to speed up the draft, the Reds have authorized me to take Gerrit Cole, SP Pirates.

[Former Cardinals GM (Stein)]

1.4 - Dylan Bundy - P - BAL

[Former Twins GM (Steve)]

1.5 The Minnesota Twins add Trevor Bauer - P - Arizona to their arsenal.

[Former Brown Sox GM (Bigman)]

1.6 Cali Brown Sox select Danny Hultzen P Mariners

[Former Nationals GM (Alan)]

The Expos have traded pick 1.7 and have been asked to select...

Cory Spangenberg 2B Padres on behalf of the Orioles.

[BK Dodgers GM (Man)]

Really debated this one, but this kid w/ the big arm and growing post-draft raves has just become too hard for me to pass up at this point, so here we go:

Pick #1.8 - Archie Bradley, SP, ARI

[Former Royals GM (Shawn)]

Oh man, I rolled this around in my head for ages. Lindor is so tempting!

In the end, Bog' may not stay at SS, and he may not hit for a lot of average, but I have to try my hand at:

1.9 Xander Bogaerts, SS, Bos

[Rangers GM (Scott)]

AJ Cole SP Oak becomes the first pick of the new GM for the Rangers

[Reds GM (Graham)]

1.11 Francisco Lindor, SS - CLE

[Mariners GM (Nick)]

I was close to pulling off a last minute trade but I decided to keep/use it instead.

1.12
Leonys Martin, OF - TEX

[airweino]

With pick 1.13, the Cubs select:

OF Josh Bell, PIT

[Former Angels GM (Eps)]

Pick 1.14

Angels select OF George Springer, HOU

[Former Royals GM (Shawn)]

1.15 Wily Peralta, SP, MIL

[Rangers GM (Scott)]

1.16 Rymer Liriano, OF, SD

[Former Nationals GM (Alan)]

With pick 1.17, the Expos select......

Matt Purke P Washington Nationals

[BK Dodgers GM (Man)]

Guess it won't get any easier going forward. Since I've been looking to add a solid 3B prospect and he's still available (w/ MI potential), I guess now's a good time to take him:

Pick #1.18 - Javier Baez, SS/3B, Cubs
