Chris Crawford 
You know the drill by now. Any questions you have about the mock, we’ll answer during the draft chat, which will be Monday, May 6th at 8:00 EST. If you can’t make it to the mock, feel free to leave your questions in the comment section and I’ll answer those first. We’re one month away, ladies and gentlemen. You may now allow yourselves to get excited.
Have at it!

I don’t even believe that Brian Johnson belongs in the first round anymore.
WOW! Trey Williams has fallen THAT far?
I’m believing the M’s will take Zunino as the best athlete available plus his position is one of need. Given that starting pitchers are the gold standard of trade bait I wouldn’t object to the taking one of Appel or Zimmer, Zimmer would be my choice. However I won’t second guess who ever they evaluate as the right choice. Sorry to miss the chat 8:00pm EST is 1:00am here in England.
The Amora pick surprises me for the Nats. They have several CFs they like and that goes against their M.O. Heaney seems much more of a Nats type pick. Have you heard that they are on Amora from anyone you trust? Thanks.
Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. Your site is losing credibility.

Where’s Giolito? Did they amputate his arm?
Indians take Smoral at 15 even though he’s been out all year with an injury?
I think the twins are in a perfect position. 2 stud players in Appel and Buxton, we get which ever once the ‘stros pass on.
