Baseball Prospectus’ writer Kevin Goldstein called this in his mock draft: The Tigers selected pitcher Rick Porcello, who dropped due to signability issues.

Just how good is the New Jersey high schooler? Goldstein ranked him No. 2 overall in the draft, writing

Pros: Big, projectable frame, touches 98 and sits in mid-90s; excellent arm action in terms of both speed and smoothness; mature changeup for age; excellent athlete who fields position very well.

Cons: Breaking ball flashes as plus at times, but can flatten out at others. the short season in the Northeast leaves unanswered questions about durability.

More when I get out of work.
