With the draft shortened and settled, June 10th will host what may be the most important draft in the Jerry Dipoto regime’s history. Kiley McDaniel, newly of ESPN, has released his first mock draft, projecting the Mariners will use their top pick, the No. 6 overall selection, on 2B/SS Nick Gonzales out of New Mexico State University. The projection is a slight surprise, considering Gonzales is viewed as one of the highest floor options in the draft, which has had a reasonably well-stratified top tier of five prospects in public discussions since the sport was suspended at professional and amateur levels throughout the U.
