Top choice – So Jason may have had the easiest decision of any pick in the draft. First pick overall, Mr. Mike Trout.

Trout is only 25, and at his age, he has more hits than all-time hit leader Pete Rose had at the same age, more home runs than all-time home run leader Barry Bonds had at the same age, and more runs scored than the all-time leader Ricky Henderson had at the same age.

Technically, this is Trout’s age 25 season even, and he’s already at that sort of pace. He’s the easy #1 choice.

Excellent value – Jason went after primarily prospects late, but one that could provide some value in 2017 is Dodgers pitcher Brock Stewart. Stewart jumped from high-A to the majors in 2016, and while he’s an older prospect after being a senior sign draft pick, Stewart has elite control and could offer the Dodgers an excellent 6th starter in AAA.

Elite Prospect – At the time he was selected, picking Josh Bell in the 11th round made perfect sense, but now with injury issues threatening the start of his season and his defense already questionable at first base, Bell may be a guy who sees more impact going forward than this season.

Bell still possesses an excellent bat that should allow him to have great batting average and good power production.
