2019 Beer & Brat Brigade Mock Draft

Franmil Reyes (SD - OF)

Draft:  Unlike last year, there appears to be no clear slam dunk pick but Beer & Brat Brigade's roster gives a glimmer of insight. The team rosters Maikel Franco (Phi - 3B) but the Phillies have been keen to the idea of trading or moving him off 3B in favor of 2018 1st round draftee Alec Bohm (Phi - 3B). Bohm's size, potential and college seasoning should make for a fast ascension to the majors giving him an edge here. A contending closer, breakout outfielders Ramon Laureano (Oak - OF) or Yuniel Diaz (Bal - OF) might be in play in addition to fellow 2018 1st rounder Nick Madrigal (ChW - 2B,SS). 

Prediction:
RD 1: Alec Bohm (Phi - 3B) - See above
RD 2: Jake Bauers (Cle - 1B) - New team with lots of counting stats in his future is a must
RD 3: Touki Toussaint (Atl - SP) - Talent is still there and could be a steal here
RD 4: Steven Souza, Jr. (Ari - OF) - When healthy he's a safe bet to produce
RD 5: Franmil Reyes (SD - OF) - Rule 5 Draftee
RD 6: Danny Diaz (Bos - SS) - Keeper


Prospect Draft:
RD 1: Osiel Rodriguez (NYY - SP) - Many consider him the top international arm
RD 2: Heriberto Hernandez (Tex - 1B, C) - Broke out in 2018 at rare pace for his age
RD 3: Yolbert Sanchez (FA - SS) - The Cuban will be fine lottery ticket when he signs
