It’s draft eve, and one of my favorite articles to do every year is playing general manager/scouting director for the the first 10 rounds of the MLB Draft for the the Los Angeles Dodgers. While I try to consider the Dodgers’ methodology and developmental practices, the picks are made using my top 200 big board. The picks made by the other 29 teams come from the latest Baseball America mock draft, with rounds 2-10 being selected by “best player available” in the Baseball America top 500.
Last year, two of the names in my mock draft were eventually drafted by the Dodgers, with an additional name coming from the 2016 version.
