2011 Big Ten Tournament: Draft Prospects

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the Big Ten Baseball Tournament at Huntington Park in Columbus Ohio and I want to send a big thank you to Chris Webb of Buckeye State Baseball on Fox Sports Ohio for the media credential. While the conference is down slightly and lacking the overall sexiness of the SEC, ACC, PAC 10 or the Big 12, the Big Ten Tournament still offered plenty looks at professional talent.

Next weekend's Top 25 v. Top 25 action:

#1 Virginia @ #16 North Carolina

#8 Texas A&M @ #6 Texas

#15 Clemson @ #7 Florida State

#20 Rice @ #18 Southern Mississippi

#21 California @ #23 UCLA

#25 Arizona @ #22 Stanford

College Baseball Top 25: 5.8.11

Our top team since winning a series against Vanderbilt a few weeks ago, South Carolina finally dropped a series this season as Mississippi took two of three from the Gamecocks. The benefactor of Mississippi's triumph is the Virginia Cavaliers, who become our forth team to sit atop our top 25 despite having the weekend off for final exams.

Florida, a former #1 team their own right, lost just their second series of the year as Arkansas took two of three from the Gators. I've only dropped them to #5, and they'll travel to Nashville to face Vanderbilt in one of the most anticipated weekends of the year.

2011 MLB Mock Draft 3.0

**Update: Final Mock Draft from 6.5.11 posted here.**

It's been over two months since my last mock draft, and I'm thrilled to say that the wait is over folks! With each edition we're becoming slightly less and less inaccurate but this list is still ripe with speculation and postulation.

The most significant contrast you'll notice from other editions is that TCU LHP Matt Purke has gone from a projected #2 overall selection when this list was first published in January, to off the board completely. Purke missed time early in the season with blister issues and hasn't resembled the pitcher that went 16-0 as a freshman last season. He's currently shut down with shoulder soreness and that injury combined with his increased leverage of being a sophomore currently make him too risky to be classified as a first round pick. Note that a return to the mound could vault him back into the middle of the first round very quickly.

College Baseball Top 25: 5.2.11

For the second straight week, there is no movement in our top 5 as each of those teams won their series, including sweeps from our three SEC top 5 teams. The cream of the college crop is becoming abundantly clear as the top 5 teams listed below continue to separate themselves from the mediocre and inconsistent middle of the pack.
