6) Gleyber Torres, INf, New York Yankees (7)
7) Eloy Jimenez, OF, Chicago White Sox (9)
8) Walker Buehler, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers (13)
9) Alex Reyes, RHP, St. Louis Cardinals (26)
10) Bo Bichette, SS, Toronto Blue Jays (5)
COMMENT: Torres will graduate this summer, as will Buehler. Reyes looks excellent coming back from Tommy John surgery and has surged back to the top of the pitching charts now that we know his stuff and command are intact.
16) Jack Flaherty, RHP, St. Louis Cardinals (50)
17) Forrest Whitley, RHP, Houston Astros (8)
18) Victor Robles, OF, Washington Nationals (10)
19) Willy Adames, SS, Tampa Bay Rays (33)
20) Mike Soroka, RHP, Atlanta Braves (31)
COMMENT: Robles is hurt and Whitley is suspended so they move down more due to lack of current information than anything. Adames and Soroka move up on merit, as does Flaherty. He’s completely legit in my view, a proven talent, and you can make a good sabermetric case that he belongs ahead of Kopech and Keller.
