Some nitpicky draft class stuff:
Lucas Giolito doesn't throw 91-93 mph; he sits in the high 90s and was clocked repeatedly at 100 mph before hurting himself earlier this spring. Putting him at 96-98 is a more accurate reflection of his talent, and his huge fastball is what had many evaluators wondering if he would be the first ever high school righthander chosen first overall before his injury.
On that subject, Giolito and Victor Roache are both injured; Giolito with an injured elbow ligament and Roache with a broken wrist.
Miami shortstop Stephen Perez is in the free agent pool instead of in the draft pool.
Marcus Stroman has a starters arsenal, including a changeup, and has been one of the most dominant starters in college baseball this year. He is often projected to be a reliever in the majors not due to his pitch selection, but because of his stature (only 5'10) and many evaluators think he has a shot at starting similar to Sonny Gray of the A's.
