2016 Phillies Draft Preview: Endless stream of options past the First

I'm just previewing everyone.This one's a mix of College guys and the one guy with huge signing bonus rumors.

Drew Mendoza - So, I'm starting with the guy with big contract demands. Mendoza has mid-to-late First Round talent, but he's asking for a bonus roughly in line with the 10th to 15th picks (not likely to go quite that high). That makes him the first bona fide overslot option to be rumored for this year's draft. There are some Padres rumors with this kid, so it's possible he doesn't quite make it to 2:1.

Mendoza is a 6'4" 200 lbs Shortstop from Minneola, FL with a commitment to Florida State.
