We’re under a week from the 2019 MLB draft, and still no closer to certainty about Seattle’s tendency. Obviously draft preferences are held close to the chest like precious jewels on a late night stroll, but a conflux of factors have made this year’s draft more difficult to auger than most. There are few surefire stars, and not even last year’s bevy of tantalizing prep talents outside of the top-10. After the first few picks, things clump together dramatically, with a lack of tiering that makes whole ranges of picks more dependent on those that come before than usual.
