Mock Draft of Round 1

1. Wahoos - F.Carmona
2. Killer Bees - C.Pena
3. Zaps - D.McGowan
4. Drillers - J.Chamberlain
5. Killer Bees - J.Guthrie
6. Rhinos - R.Perez
7. Nads - B.Bannister
8. Tweeners - H.Bell
9. Sidewinders - J.Soria
10. Buckeyes - G.Soto
11. Zaps - C.Marmol
12. Rhinos - M.Corpas
13. Oilers - H.Okajima
14. Mavs - E.Longoria
15. Wahoos - J.Hamilton
16. Rhinos - J.Isringhausen

The pitchers should rule the first round, especially RH relievers. Look for the Rhinos to take relievers with all three of their first rounders. The Wahoos and Bees both have two picks; expect each to take 1 pitcher and 1 hitter. LH relievers Perez and Okajima are pretty interchangeable, as are McGowan, Bannister, and Guthrie. Among the RH reliever-only guys, there's a group of 5 or so who could go in any order, depending on how important age and/or innings are to you. Of the hitters, the best ones - other than Pena - are limited in at bats. Longoria (or maybe Fukodome) should be the first uncarded player taken. I predict the first cut drafted is either Gagne or Zumaya.

I'll be damned! I drafted Corpas in the 12th fucking round last year and cut him in favor of Bill Bray... good game, dd.
