Happy Draft Day, Everyone.

Here you go, the top 125 prospects in this class. Please remember this is not a mock, so no, I’m not projecting Jason Groome to go to the Phillies (I should be, though) or Corey Ray to the Reds (again, should be, but not).

You’ll notice Delvin Perez remains at three. It recently came out that Perez failed a drug test, with the drug being undisclosed. I will say that this will certainly affect his draft status—anytime you’re talking about paying millions of dollars to a teenager it HAS to play some sort of affect—but it doesn’t change what I think about him as a player. He’s still one of the only prep hitters with any upside in this class, and I’d still be tickled pink to take him in the top five of this draft.

If you have any questions about these guys, feel free to leave them in the comments, or come on over to the draft chat this morning and we’ll gab away.
