2. Seattle Mariners

There’s a new sheriff in town running the show for the Mariners, Jack
Zduriencik, the Brewers former scouting director who is often credited for
re-building the Brewers from one of the worst teams in baseball to one of its
best.

The Brewers were able to re-build their organization from top to bottom by
placing a revitalized interest in scouting and player development, with
Zduriencik trusting his scouting staff to find the best players in the nation
with an emphasis on tools. That means this pick is likely to be based on the
best player available philosophy, even if it will be Tom McNamara calling the
shot and not Zduriencik.

While the Mariners have a tough call to make, since the talent after
Strasburg is really up for debate, my guess is that with the team’s first
pick serving as the team’s GM he does something he didn’t do in nine years
with the Brewers: Take a college pitcher in the first round. Five-tool prep
star Donovan Tate is probably the only other player I could seeing going at
this selection, but the pitching depth is just too good to pass up at this
point.

The Mariners do have two extra, early picks this year, the 27th and 33rd
overall picks, since type A free agent Raul Ibanez signed with the Phillies. I
’m guessing the Mariners have budgeted the way they need to to sign all of
their early picks for roughly slot value.

Projected Pick: Tanner Scheppers
