**It is all but assured that Bryce Harper will be taken #1 overall by the Nats.

**Rumors swirl back and forth on who Pittsburgh takes with the 2nd pick, but nearly everyone agrees it will be either Taillon or Machado. Whomever Pittsburgh does not take, the Orioles -at #3- will.

**Florida prep right-hander Luke Jackson, Georgia prep outfielders Jake Skole and Delino DeShields, Jr, Pennsylvania prep lefty Jesse Biddle, Michigan outfielder Ryan LaMarre, Indiana prep catcher Justin O'Connor, and California prep right-hander Peter Tago seem to be making late pushes upward.

**Virginia Tech pitcher Jesse Hahn appears to have slid a bit.

**Anthony Ranaudo appears to be a bit of a wild-card, although most don't see him being selected until #20 and later.

**The Royals appear set on taking Miami catcher Yasmani Grandal.
