Where does he slot into the team’s prospect rankings? 8-10?

I have him at 8 with Horton, Alcantara, Caissie, Ballesteros, Shaw, Rojas and Triantos ahead of him.

Yep. Those two teams did what I feared the Cubs would do. Glad the Xubs took who they did. 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tampa getting my favorite prep bat (though he has injury red flags)

Spoiler

Gillen

Mets also getting a college bat I like:

Benge

Milwaukee has 4 picks today so they're better suited to go underslot early but that said, there are numerous draft analysts who think there's a big fall off around 50 or so.

[CubinNY]

Waldschmdt falling

[Tryptamine]

Imagine Yesavage falling into Baltimore's hands

Still no prep arms drafted yet, seems like teams are very gunshy this year.

I've enjoyed the ESPN draft coverage. I don't have MLB Network anymore but this seems way better than Harold Reynolds. 

[Tryptamine]

Honeycutt could not go to a better team to fix him

[JD94]

Love that pick from the O’s all things considered. Great fit for both sides 

[CubinNY]

See witch future all star the Dodgers are drafting

Jud Fabian all over again.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Cam Caminiti to Atlanta, First prep pitcher.

Ryan Sloan (from Elmhurst) apparently has a $4 million number so it's probably Arizona, Cleveland, Milwaukee or Wake Forest.

Louder tools, but yes potentially same fatal flaw

I think so.

I think general consensus is Horton, Ballesteros, Shaw, Caissie, Triantos, Rojas and Alcántara make the top 7 in some order.  I’d have Smith below all of them. Probably would take Smith over Wiggins who was my 8th prospect.

Yeah I think him and Wiggins are In their own little tier, behind all the guys who get real top 100 consideration, we'll ahead of Birdsell/Rosario/Hernandez or anyone else you would potentially throw a 45 on.

I have Hernandez closer to Wiggins/Smith than Rosario/Birdsell, but yeah I'm pretty firm on Smith at 8
