The Daily Chop: No. 1 Pick, Lindor, Strange Trades, etc.

Executives around the league give their input on the upcoming MLB Draft, with a focus on the first overall pick. Two candidates stand out above the rest: Arizona State first baseman Spencer Torkelson and Vanderbilt infielder Austin Martin. Check out the feedback from those who have scouted each of these two top prospects.

Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor has enjoyed a successful career to this point, and appears to be headed on a Hall of Fame course. Based on WAR projections, Lindor could range anywhere from Cal Ripken, Jr. to Barry Larkin to Troy Tulowitzki at the end of his playing career.
