2015 Draft

Jack Zduriencik’s drafts have not yielding many superstars, but they have produced numerous Major League calibre players. He has done a great job finding value in later rounds, with James Paxton and Kyle Seager. It is fair to say many of the names on this list have failed to live up to their hype, but guys like D.J. Peterson and Alex Jackson still have a chance of redeeming Zduriencik and his staff.

The Mariners do not have a first round pick in 2015, as they surrendered it to sign Nelson Cruz this winter. However, the M’s will add a pair of exciting prospects with picks 60 and 72 this evening.

Will Jack Z find the next Kyle Seager tonight? Or will M’s fans have to suffer through another Danny Hultzen? Only time will tell, but the MLB Draft is always a hopeful event for teams and fans.
