Welcome to Perfect Game's first crack at projecting the 2013 MLB Draft. David Rawnsley, Frankie Piliere, Todd Gold and myself (Patrick Ebert), along with Baseball Prospectus' Nick Faleris, will play the role of scouting director for each of the 27 teams that own at least one selection among the top 39 overall picks (the end of the Competitive Balance Round A). These picks will be based on our own assessments of the players that are available while keeping in mind the recent drafting preferences of the teams we are responsible for.

It should be noted that this is not an attempt to project how the draft will actually shake out come June 6. Even in mid-April it is far too early to try and pair teams to specific players.

Here are the team responsibilities:

Rawnsley: Astros, Mets, Pirates, Yankees
Piliere: Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers, Phillies, Rangers, Red Sox
Gold: Blue Jays, Indians, Mariners, Marlins, Rays, Rockies
Ebert: Athletics, Diamondbacks, Reds, Tigers, White Sox
Faleris: Braves, Giants, Orioles, Padres, Royals, Twins

Stay tuned to the Perfect Game MLB Draft Blog for updates as they occur. And if you don't already, be sure to follow Rawnsley (@DavidRawnsleyPG), Piliere (@FPilierePG) Gold (@TGold_PG), Faleris (@NickJFaleris) and Ebert (@PGPatrickEbert) on Twitter.

2024 Mock Draft: April 11
We're still so far away from the July date of the 2024 MLB Draft that anything can, and likely will, happen moving forward but here's how the draft team sees things falling into place if the draft were to happen now.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.

2025 MLB Draft: College Top 150
We're a year out, but several of these prospects have already established themselves as front line prospects who you'll want to know all about.

2026 MLB Draft: College Top 100
Now that college is a handful of weeks underway, it's time to readjust the 2026 board (college only) with some players already announcing their arrival in a very big way.
