This is Jim voting for fox sports stock comment here is our top twenty players. But this year is Major League Baseball draft last week. We talked about the first three players in the draft Bryce harper number wonder Washington. Jamison -- on the second best player probably going to Pittsburgh Andrew Palmer -- the third best player in this draft probably don't of the Baltimore Orioles. This way we're gonna finish off our top twenty players that we start at number four when Manning which shot though. This is the fourth best player in the draft. Many should hit for average as well as power and be a solid defensive player despite the fact he might have to move to third base later his career. A couple of college pitchers will probably go next. Chris -- the left and her from Florida Gulf Coast University whose stock really Rose in the month of may. And Georgia Tech's right entered deck McGuire should be the next two guys to go in this draft both have a chance to be solid number three starters. Both should get to the big leagues rather quickly. If the campus anywhere else pass on catcher gets money grand -- That New York Mets could -- with the seventh pick in the first round. Greta as a solid catcher with a strong arm shared it fifteen to twenty homers in the big lakes. Houston Astros will pick eight and they all probably look for the best infield bat. In the draft and probably pigs that Cox Maybin and but right now it's aging. With thirty by broke Pedro Feliz at third. This past week they released Kaz Matsui. And that Cox without question is the best infield back in this draft sending go Padres will be looking at a few quality infielders with the ninth pick. And might stay in California with the best college shortstop in the draft in Christian Cologne but cal state Fullerton. The Oakland a's trying to -- offense and their organization might over reach take Michael choice -- their perspective he's got great power and if he gets. Could become a middle order back. Although like Michael Taylor the -- still a question. The eleventh pick in the draft as the Toronto Blue Jays and they may decide to go with nick -- on us from archbishop. McCarthy high school he's the shortstop who's gonna have to be moved to third. But this guy can really hit he's got great power in the Blue Jays have a need long term at third base. One of the sleepers in this draft is Josh fail the outfielder from bishop lynch -- high school in Washington. The Cincinnati Reds could take him here with the first pick in the draft and remember Davis. He could be the second best back in this draft after Bryce harper definitely a player to keep Iran. Brandon -- from the University of Texas would be a solid selection next. Look he has great make up nose out of pitches a solid innings eater the kind of guy you need having your rotation. High school arms are always the biggest risk in the first round. But there's two Florida high school pitchers that are really separated themselves and you have to look at him more as -- college pitcher both the good side. Good deliveries and we start with Carson which didn't. He has from -- high school. And AJ cold -- right here from Oviedo high school. Both throw in the mid ninety's both that good deliveries -- strong breaking balls. And these two guys will be solid picks the sixteenth pick in the first round the Chicago Cubs will have to consider -- brands. The help -- from Middle Tennessee State. He's got power and can run Dillon -- read a high school pitcher from California has a great arm. And then there's two college pitchers it's gonna be a great value at this point the draft and right hitter Alex swimmers from Ohio State and if it were not though. The pitcher from LSU and opera not look at regains its velocity he could be the Joba Chamberlain of this draft. A steal late in the first round I think with a guy coming into the draft. That should have been a top five in the draft he's gonna slip because his velocity is gone backwards some scouts think he's hurt. And running out the top forty is Austin Wilson. He's got all the tolls except they hit tool he's got a full ride to Stanford and a big market club like the Boston Red Sox could draft them. Overpay -- it's got tremendous raw talent. What are with the top twenty this -- MLB draft I'm Jim Bowden.
