1. Nationals ~ Anderson, LHP, LSU
2. Angels ~ Doyle, LHP, Tennessee
3. Mariners ~ Hernandez, RHP, Corona HS, Calif.
4. Rockies ~ Holliday, SS/3B, Stillwater HS, Okla.
5. Cardinals ~ Willits, SS, Ft. Cobb-Broxton HS, Okla.
6. Pirates ~ Arquette, SS, Oregon St.

^^^THIS^^^

But would love for the Rockies to pass on Matty's boy but they won't, too good a player and marketing opportunity given how popular Matt was in Denver.

Arquette to the Pirates seems way out of the norm for them.

Arnold and Doyle would be the right pick for STL - but if both are gone, I would prefer Arquette over Willits.
Rockies are in a very interesting spot, and it will be interesting to watch.
Since one or more of Anderson, Doyle, Hernandez, or Arnold are guaranteed to be available - that is the group they should choose from.
Which would probably make Holiday available at 5.
That would put the Cardinals in position to take Holiday since the top 4 arms would be off the board.
That said, I do not expect the Rockies to be smart enough to draft pitching if Holiday is on the board.
They will make the PR pick, not the baseball pick.

Very sound reasoning.
Holliday himself MIGHT have upset the top of this draft by his asking price vs what Willits has done
with his asking price. I don't agree with the guess on Arquette as a pick over Willits. If I follow the
reasoning I'd go Irish over Willits.

It's worth plenty. It's what the day is about.
There very well could be a college lean coming from the Cards
here. IF it's a bat Irish could happen. The HS SS are a bit about taste. Parker
would not surprise me much due to more size.

yes, on Irish....for me, fwiw

1.) WAS - SS Eli Wllits
2.) LAA - LHP Kade Anderson
3.) SEA - RHP Seth Hernandez
4.) COL - SS Ethan Holliday
