Jim Callis has been predicting the Indians take Colin Moran for the last several versions of his mock draft, and that didn't change in his final installment:
5. CLEVELAND INDIANS: Unless one of the big three drops, Cleveland will choose between Moran and Frazier. The Indians usually prefer college players, but Frazier seems to be gaining steam here. Meadows is another possibility, with Shipley a longshot.
PROJECTED PICK: Colin Moran.
(Mock Draft 1.0: Braden Shipley/2.0: Colin Moran/3.0: Moran)
He has the first four picks going this way:
- Houston - RHP Mark Appel (Stanford)
- Chicago Cubs - RHP Jonathan Gray (Oklahoma)
- Colorado - 3B/OF Kris Bryant (San Diego)
- Minnesota - RHP Kohl Stewart (St. Pius X HS, Texas)
