Hopefully Dansby is as awesome as his father, Ron Swanson.

3 homers in Hoover? Isolated power over .300. Jesus

Is there a 10 run rule for this league...?

Anibal Sanchez is donkey doo.

I was happy with a push btw us.

1. Arizona D-backs
Dansby Swanson, SS, Vanderbilt

The buzz surrounding Swanson in this top spot does have some legs, and it would be foolish to dismiss it. It would also be wrong to consider it a slam dunk at this point, with the D-backs still exploring several options, including bringing Georgia high school catcher Tyler Stephenson in for a workout.

2. Houston Astros (compensation for not signing 2014 first-rounder Brady Aiken)
Brendan Rodgers, SS, Lake Mary (Fla.) HS

Still No. 1 on our Top 200, Rodgers is very much in play here, unless the Astros decide they want to go with a college arm with someone like Dillon Tate or a college bat like LSU shortstop Alex Bregman.

Callis examines prospect Rodgers
3. Colorado Rockies
Tyler Jay, LHP, Illinois

Most of the buzz around the Rockies is that they are looking at college players with their first pick, as they often do. The exception might be if the Astros pass on Rodgers. But if they don't, the Rockies could go with Jay, the lefty who has shot up boards, or Bregman if they prefer a bat.

4. Texas Rangers
Daz Cameron, OF, Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (McDonough, Ga.)

The three names mentioned the most with the Rangers are Tate and Bregman on the college side and Cameron, the son of former big leaguer Mike Cameron, if they decide to go the high school route.

5. Houston Astros
Dillon Tate, RHP, Santa Barbara

Tate rushed up boards with a strong spring then backed up a tiny bit when some fatigue set in. The Astros could decide to get Tate at No. 2 if they feel the Rangers are going to take him, then perhaps pursue a high school bat like Kyle Tucker here.

2015 Draft: Dillon Tate, P

6. Minnesota Twins
Kyle Tucker, OF, Plant (Fla.) HS

His brother is in the big leagues with the Astros, so Houston could want to keep it all in the family. If not, the Twins definitely have interest, as they do with college arms like Missouri State's Jon Harris or Tate if he's still available.

7. Boston Red Sox
Alex Bregman, SS, LSU

There's a lot of buzz about Bregman being gone by this point, which would leave one of the above players still in play for Boston. But this is a team-player association that refuses to go away. Andrew Benintendi and Carson Fulmer are other college options.

Cameron is really starting to intrigue for the Stros.

Excited to watch MLB Network's top-50 draft prospects show Sunday. Looking forward to that.

First name that popped up in my head was Archie Bradley... but I know it's not him.

I don't know what to make of him. See you already moved him -- and I really liked that deal for you.
