On Friday morning, Jim Callis posted a new mock draft on MLB Pipeline and he has the Pittsburgh Pirates selecting Florida right-handed pitcher Alex Faedo. Early in the year, he was a possible first overall pick. Baseball America had him as the highest rated college player and MLB Pipeline had him fourth overall in the draft class. That led to him being featured early in our draft coverage.
So Callis is saying that the Pirates could get a player who was considered out of their range just 2-3 months ago, which brings up the obvious questions about why he dropped in the rankings.
