SF Giants 2018 Draft Preview: Less than 1 Week Left - A Little Too Unanimous
Okay, I’ve got to admit, I’m getting suspicious.
Our sister site Beyond The Box Score did a little aggregation of some of the major mock drafts leading to Monday’s first round, and there’s something a little interesting going on.
Four of the five mock drafts have the same top three players, and only one of those four flip-flopped the #4 and #5 picks compared to the others. The consistent Top 5?
Detroit - Casey Mize
San Francisco - Joey Bart
Philadelphia - Alec Bohm
White Sox - Nick Madrigal
Cincinnati - Brady Singer
The outlier? Draftsite.com, which is way off from everyone else, with Bart dropping all the way out of the Top 5 and Matt Liberatore being the Giants pick.
