a shortstop from UNLV, is shooting up draft boards this spring."While having the
No. 1 overall pick in last June’s MLB draft was certainly better for the Tigers
organization, we here at Bless You Boys are currently enjoying the added chaos
that comes with picking a few spots lower. In particular, mock drafts are much
more unpredictable than before, making for more interesting discussion as the
draft draws closer.In their latest mock, the experts at Baseball America project
that the Tigers will select UNLV shortstop Bryson Stott, a junior that is
quickly shooting up draft boards this spring. Through 23 games, Stott is batting
an absurd .349/.513/.663 with five home runs and more walks (27) than strikeouts
(18).Stott’s ascent has materialized in multiple pre-draft rankings. Baseball
America moved him up to sixth on their board this week, 21 spots higher than
their previous update. He is fifth overall on FanGraphs’
rankings

and the No. 12 prospect in his draft class at MLB Pipeline.Listed at 6’3 and 195
pounds, Stott is fairly big for a shortstop, but there are not many questions
about his ability to stick there at the next level. He is an above-average
runner who has the range to play there, and an above-average arm that has been
clocked as high as 97 miles per hour.Offensively, Stott appears to be tapping
into more of his above-average raw power this season. This was the biggest knock
on him heading into this year — his swing was previously described as
“slap-heavy” — but those concerns are fading. The added power will serve him
well, as Stott already has an excellent approach at the plate; FanGraphs thinks
he could have a plus hit tool when all is said and done.The intangibles are
there for Stott too. He has a good track record in wooden bat leagues, including
the Cape Cod League last summer, and coaches have raved about his makeup and
work ethic. He also shows a good feel for the game, with instincts that help his
tools play up on the diamond.While draft pick projections are all over the map
right
now
Christian
Arroyo Jersey , the consensus seems to be that the Tigers (and others
around them) will be taking a bat this spring. The top 11 picks on Baseball
America’s mock are all position players, and the first pitcher on their top 300
prospects list doesn’t appear until No. 10. MLB Pipeline’s list is also
hitter-heavy, with righthander Carter Stewart the only pitcher in the top eight.

Merrill KellyRick Scuteri-USA TODAY SportsIf familiar with this series go ahead
and skip to poll. If not, please read on.This series of articles will run from
now until shortly before opening day. The purpose is to crowd source the D-Backs
fans of this website to get a sense of how they feel about the prospects of each
individual player on the 40 man roster. For this exercise I will only be using
rate (average) stats and poll the readers on their sense of direction for that
player’s level of basic performance, regardless of playing time expectations.I’m
not including defense and base running, so no WAR here, as that is playing time
dependent. You will be given two poll options:The player will either exceed the
projection or under perform the projection by 5% for hitters OPS or 10% for
pitchers ERA/FIP.There is no middle option to vote on. (Otherwise the majority
of votes would end up agreeing with the projection).What I am looking for is if
you are forced to indicate your sense of direction for the player, is it well
over or under the projection?Other Points of note
