Draft Day Update (June 4, 2018)

Record: 27-33, 3rd place in NL East (26th in Power Rankings)
--Draft day is here, folks! My team currently has been hot and cold, recently following a 5-game winning streak with a 4-game losing streak. Dansby Swanson (.565 OPS) was demoted to AAA on May 25th and the red-hot Johan Camargo has officially taken over at SS. Carerra (.325 BA) continues to play really well, but Acuna has turned it on at Gwinnett and is knocking on the door to the major leagues. It won't be too much longer until his long-waited arrival.

2018 Draft:
--With the 1st overall pick, Detroit selects RHP Casey Mize out of Auburn. Mize throws four plus pitches with elite command. He sits comfortably in the mid 90's and looks like a future major league ace. Here's how our first few picks looked:

1st round, 8th overall: C Joey Bart- The local product from Georgia Tech has a plus arm and plus raw power. There's some swing and miss in his game, but he has the upside of a solid defensive backstop hitting 25+ home runs annually.

2nd round, 55th overall: IF Lency Delgado- The young infielder out of a Florida HS is raw and toolsy. He's got a great 6'3" 215 lb frame and pretty good foot speed for a big guy. He might not be able to play SS professionally, but he profiles as a solid 3B/2B with plus power and a good feel for hitting.

3rd round, 85th overall: LHP Destin Dotson- High school lefty that has a solid feel for pitching, but not the highest ceiling. He throws 92-94 but his 6'7" frame suggests that he could add a few more ticks.

Around the League:
-Zack Greinke is out for the season with a torn rotator cuff. He was 7-2 with a 2.30 ERA.
-Francisco Lindor snaps his 27-game hitting streak
-Noah Syndergaard is out for the season with a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder. He is 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA.
-Manny Machado hits 3 home runs against Washington
-Max Stassi hits 3 home runs against Boston
