The 2011 MLB First Year Player Draft is just a day away, and the excitement is reaching a boiling point. For months upon end we've scoured scouting reports, researched some of the top college athletes and reviewed mock drafts in anticipation of Monday, June 6, 2011, and now that it is nearly upon us—what's changed?
If you thought that the draft would be coming into perspective entering the final weekend prior to the big day, then think again. Aside from maybe six to eight picks in the first round, the "Rule Four" draft is as much of a crap-chute as ever, and nearly impossible to predict the outcome of in it's entirety.
Like most drafts, all it takes is one team to go against the grain and do something unexpected to throw off the rest of the round.
But that's the fun part of the draft, right? It's that feeling of anticipation, anxiety and an element of surprise that keep us glued to our television sets, computers or smart phones awaiting our favorite team's selections.
Is your general manager and his team of scouts selecting a former Hall of Fame player, or a bust that will forever live in infamy?
In honor of that sense of unpredictability, I'll be making a few interesting selections in this mock. Looking over the first round draft order, not a single pick, from one to 33, is a surefire selection, and for that reason alone, it'd be foolish to suggest that this list is perfect. Instead, let's just hope that it is relatively close.
So let's get to it. Without further ado, here is the final pre-draft mock of the first round.
