2032 Mock Draft

After a record setting break in the league, we are finally up to looking seriously at the Ammy Draft. For the second year in a row, Sheffy and I will be doing a mock draft, sharing what we think are the wise and likely picks. We generated the Draft Order based on all we knew at the time. We hope you enjoy and feel free to comment. Here we go!


1. ATL: Nick- 1B Prince Fielder. Atlanta is apparently a hangout for young studs, and the best player in the draft will fit right in.

Steve- P Francisco Liriano. Well, I already botched this one up. However, I thought the Braves might take the best pitcher in the draft knowing they could get one of the first baseman with the 3rd pick.

2. COL: Nick- P Francisco Liriano. When rebuilding, like the Rockies will be doing, it helps to have an ace to build the staff around. Liriano is the best hurler in the pool.

Steve- 1B Prince Fielder. Colorado has holes all over the place, so they will take the best player in the draft and begin to build an offense.

3. ATL (CHN): Nick- P Felix Hernandez. Adding a 4th stud starting pitcher to the club, the Braves snatch up Hernandez. Watch out for the Braves in 5 or 6 years.

Steve- 1B Sadahura Oh. Here is where I expected Atlanta to get their first baseman. Oh looks to be somewhat similar to Lou Gehrig.


4. ATL (KC): Nick- SS Hanley Ramirez. Let me say what is on everyone's mind...yes it is rediculous that the Braves have this many high pick 2 years in a row with such great draft pools. That being said, they will take the SS that will quickly become the best in the league.

Steve- SS Hanley Ramirez. Another pick for the Braves. Here they take a guy who will be the best middle infielder in the league.

5. BOS: Nick- 1B Sadahura Oh. Oh is a steal at 5, and provides a feared bat in the middle of the Sox lineup for a long time.

Steve- P Felix Hernandez. Boston’s pitching has really fallen apart since their trip to the World Series 3 years ago. It’s time to get an ace.


6. ATL (DET): Nick- CF Grady Sizemore. With their 4th pcik in the top 6 (excuse me while I vomit), the Braves take Sizemore to fill a very important position on the field, giving them young studs at 6 offensive positions and 4 stud pitchers.

Steve- CF Grady Sizemore. This is ridiculous. With their 4th pick in the top 6, Atlanta adds another prize bat.

7. OAK: Nick- C Brain McCann. Hard to pass up a top 5 catcher like this whn he is on the board at 7.

Steve- C Brian McCann. Oakland still has some of the pieces in place to turn things around. McCann gives them some hope of reestablishing a potent lineup.


8. PGH (BAL): Nick- 3B Garret Atkins. Can play first base, which the Pirates need, and though 3B Gordon has much better speed, Atkins is ready to play now, which is also what the Pirates need.

Steve- 2B Dib Williams. At 37, he’ll provide a lot of veteran leadership. Club is hoping he can be a player coach (did you really thing I’d give away who I want).

9. HOU: Nick- 3B Alex Gordon. He won't be ready for awhile, but he is a great hitter and defender. Can you believe a guy like this could fall to 9?

Steve- 3B Alex Gordon. Gordon still has a lot of growing to do, but he has tremendous potential and the Astros have lots of time.

10. MIL: Nick- RF Delmon Young. Gives the Brewers a very solid bat to help them manufacture runs in a tough division.

Steve- C Jarrod Saltamacchia . His bat behind Greenberg’s would make the middle of the Brew Crew’s lineup much more dangerous.


11. LA: Nick- P Scott Kazmir. Some would say the Dodgers have not had a really good pitcher since Billy Chapel, so Kazmir will help them in that category.

Steve- P Scott Kazmir. The Dodgers have been without a true ace since Billy Chapel retired.


12. NYN: Nick- C Jarrod Saltamacchia. A great cathcer is always a good pick, particularly this late.

Steve- SS Travis Ykema. The Mets are really a team without much for holes. Ykema would improve on one of their weaker spots.


13. NYN (CLE): Nick- P Tim Lincecum. Another arm to help solidify a talented, but chaky rotation.

Steve- C Bobby Wilson. Wilson allows the Mets to improve in one of the few spots they can at this point.

14. ANA: Nick- CF Hunter Pence. The 2nd really good CF in this draft will add even more pop to the Angels lineup.

Steve- 3B Gerret Atkins. Teamed with the Howard brothers and Slater, this Angels offense will soon be very good.


15. CHA: Nick- LF Matt Holiday. The Sox are right there in a tough division, so Holiday could get them over the hump.

Steve- P Tim Lincecum. The White Sox have never had trouble scoring runs. What they’ve needed is consistent pitching. They should get that here.


16. TOR: Nick- RF Nick Markakis. The last of the elite outfielders in the pool, Toronto can certainly add a nice player at this spot.

Steve- LF Matt Holiday. How is a bat like this still around. Toronto will go crazy if this happens. Finally, a big time bat to go with what has become a strong pitching staff.


17. ATL (TEX): Nick- 2B Ian Kinsler. The Braves add another piece to a scary puzzle.

Steve- 2B Ian Kinsler. Atlanta fills another hole with a great player.

18. FLA: Nick- C Bobby Wilson. Florida already has a lot, but the smart pick here is to add the 3rd good catcher in the draft.

Steve- P Fausto Carmona. The Marlins don’t really need anything so they’ll just take the best pitcher on the board.

19. KC (CIN): Nick- SS Travis Ykema. The second best SS in the draft is nothing to cry about at this point. Very good value.

Steve- RF Delmon Young. Another team ecstatic that a bat of this talent may fall to them. He should be a perfect compliment to Graves and Duncan.


20. STL: Nick- P Fausto Carmona. Another good arm in a pitchers park will help them fight for the NL Central crown.

Steve- P Gil Meche. Here’s another team without much for holes. Meche looks to be the best pitcher available.

21. SEA: Nick- P Gil Meche
Steve- 2B Kelly Johnson

22. PHI: Nick- RP Joel Zumaya
Steve- P John Maine

23. SF: Nick- RP Joakim Soria
Steve- RP Joel Zumaya

24. PGH (SD): Nick- RP Bobby Jenks
Steve- RF Nick Markakis

25. KC (PGH): Nick- RP Chad Cordero
Steve- SS Stephen Drew

26. MIN: Nick- CF Josh Hamilton
Steve- CF Hunter Pence

27. DET (MON): Nick- P John Maine
Steve- P Freddy Mendoza

28. NYA: Nick- P Freddy Mendoza
Steve- RP Joakim Soria
