The two biggest stories of this MLB draft class are: (1) Whoa! That's the son of [notable big leaguer]; and (2) the upside of the four prep position players at the top. These two issues overlap as the projected top two picks below are the sons of Andruw Jones and Matt Holliday. Also in the first-round projection are the sons of Carl Crawford, eight-year big league utilityman Lou Collier and 10-year NFL tight end Eric Green.
On the other hand, the college pitching crop is the worst it's been in awhile, with no candidates to receive the full slot in the top 15 to 20 picks.
