Rangers Mock Draft (pt. 2)

by c60 on May 16, 2010 11:56 PM CDT

I am representing the Texas Rangers in a 3-round mock draft that will be held over at John Sickels' Minor League Ball blog on June 5th. There is an organization diary set up there but I wanted to post this here as well so that anyone interested in making suggestions or discussing possible Ranger selections can comment.

I have attached another poll, this time listing four college pitchers that have a reasonable chance of being available for the Rangers at No. 15, their first selection. The poll for college hitters is here -- a poll for high school pitchers and hitters will follow.

Poll

If available, who should the Rangers take with the No. 15 selection (college pitchers)?

Matt Harvey, rhp, University of North Carolina

9 votes

Sammy Solis, lhp, University of San Diego

6 votes

Alex Wimmers, rhp, Ohio State University

6 votes

Anthony Ranaudo, rhp, LSU

68 votes

Other, please comment

and not Harvey. It would be nice to give the finger to the Angels but he’s not good.

Harvey, Solis, Ranaudo too expensive for 15

Wimmers is the only realistic option among the ones you present here. I think I might have mentioned Solis in your MOD post, but I forgot he’s a draft-eligible sophomore looking for a nice payday. Brandon Workman would be a better fit than any of them, I think. Although I wouldn’t be that upset with Wimmers being the pick. Or one of the Eibner/Petricka/Hahn trio.

I like Harvey,

very Rick Helling-esqe. Good stuff, if not completely polished -leaving room for performance projection, bulldog mentality -pitches unafraid, steps up in big games, has experienced hard times -made adjustments and emerged successful. Solid upside, likely to see it.
