The 30 Best Prospects of the 2013 MLB Draft
Where Stars Are Born
There is nothing more unpredictable, confusing, and wild than the MLB Amateur Draft. Considering there are about eleventy billion rounds, full of players both in high school and college, it’s impossibly hard to predict and know for a certainty that some of these players will come to fruition. For every Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper and Joe Mauer, there is a Matt Bush, Bryan Bullington or Tim Beckham. Fact of the matter is: no one knows anything about the MLB Draft. It’s all just educated guessing.
The 2013 MLB Draft is still months away, but it’s never too early to start looking at the players who we will see on that faithful day. There are men of all ages, backgrounds, and talent levels in this draft. Some players are as young as 17 years old, while others are college seniors. But all of them have the same opportunity to become the number one overall pick. Although, even if a player isn’t selected number one overall, it’s not a slight towards his ability.
The MLB Draft doesn’t work like a lot of other amateur drafts. Signability means just as much as actual talent, which is why Mike Trout fell all the way down to the Angels. Needless to say, a lot of teams are probably regretting being so cheap.
Also, since there are compensation picks that allow teams to take over another team’s slot, it’s kind of hard to do an actual “Mock Draft”. Plus, those things are ridiculous anyway, seeing as they never are accurate. So, here are the 30 best prospects from the upcoming 2013 MLB Draft.
Marco Gonzales (Gonzaga)
Marco Gonzales is one of those players who wasn't born with talent, but he gets the most out of what he has. He has worked extremely hard to become one of the best draft prospects out there, which is evident by him making the US Collegiate National Team.
Karsten Whitson (Florida)
Whitson was the ninth overall pick a couple drafts ago, but decided to go to the University of Florida instead of earning $2.1 million from the San Diego Padres. The talent is still there for Whitson, so I'm sure we will see him get selected in the top half of the draft.
Mark Appel (Stanford)
Considering Appel was likely going to be the no. 1 pick last season before signability issues arose, it's pretty likely that we could see the Stanford ace picked first overall in this year's draft.
