May 20, 200521 yr Does anyone have a subscription to the Baseball America site? If so, can you post the mock 1st round they came out with today? It should be interesting since the Fish have multiple 1st round picks. THANKS!!
May 20, 200521 yr 16/22/29. MARLINS With three first-round picks and five of the first 44, the Marlins are in a position to stockpile talent. But there?s the matter of paying for it, and they may have little choice than to pay less than slot money for one or two of the picks?or burn one of the picks on an unsignable player. The Marlins will likely play it straight with the first two selections. The two players they were considering most seriously for the 16th selection are Volstad, a local product, and Ellsbury. If they go for Volstad, they?d prefer a premium high school bat after that, with Drennen, Henry and Rasmus the prime options. PROJECTED PICKS: Chris Volstad/Jacoby Ellsbury/Colby Rasmus.

I don't think we should go after Rasmus though, we've been wasting our early picks on toolsy high school outfielders for the last 2 years and I hope we have learned our lesson. I'm still hoping we can pick up Teagarden.
