[Wolfpac]

It seems Felix Hernandez still has the biggest fluctuation of top 45 picks...

[Bronx Yankees]

Also looks like Matt Kemp is starting together some well-deserved love, going third or no lower than fourth on recent drafts.

[Wolfpac]

Which is a little surprise because Cano was the owner of the 4 hole...maybe many are concerned with all the Yankee injuries and the skeleton lineup?
