26. Boston Red Sox

27. Washington Nationals

90. The Nationals have never been too worried about a player with elbow concerns, and Denaburg has returned to show well at the end of the season. His bonus demands will be the biggest concern here.. RHP/C. Merritt Island HS (FL). Mason Denaburg. 27. player

28. Houston Astros

135. A player who’s gained plenty of helium at the end of the spring, Siani is a cold weather outfielder that could be in play as early as 13, but likely won’t make the second round.. OF. William Penn Carter (PA). Mike Siani. 28. player

29. Cleveland Indians

30. Los Angeles Dodgers

SS. Santiago HS (CA). Brice Turang. 30. player. 71. The Dodgers will be grabbing the best player left on the board, and in this scenario, that’s Turang, who was considered the top prep player in this draft class entering last summer.

Compensatory selections, first round

31. Tampa Bay Rays

Hankins will be an interesting player to watch. He is in play for the Padres at #8 and for many teams willing to overspend their slot from that point, but once he gets to this spot, he’ll be gobbled up by those with extra bonus room.. RHP. Forsyth Central HS (GA). Ethan Hankins. 31. player. 21

32. Tampa Bay Rays

32. player. 21. Walker has a very high floor as a hitter with quality defensive abilities that could have him going in the middle of the first round, but he will definitely be in play for the Rays and Royals here.. OF. Oklahoma. Steele Walker

33. Kansas City Royals

7. Naylor could go off in the top 10 or fall down to this point due to bonus demands, but he will be a highly in-demand player after the top 5 in the draft.. C. St. Joan of Arc Catholic SS (Canada). Noah Naylor. 33. player

34. Kansas City Royals

Edwards is all about upside, and in this iteration, the Royals choose to go for measured upside over the arms and could end up coming out with a ridiculous amount of talent for their efforts.. SS. North Broward Prep (FL). Xavier Edwards. 34. player. 7

35. Cleveland Indians
