The @Mets take BC righthander Justin Dunn. Starter’s arsenal. Mid-90s fastball, slider, curve and change #mlbdraft: https://t.co/mgeauk1ZhX

.@Yankees take Blake Rutherford, a California prep outfielder with a great hit tool. A home run swing in slow-mo: https://t.co/BZBgZOdE36

The @RedSox take LHP Jason Groome, up to mid-90s (touching 97) with a nasty curveball, mixes in changeup #mlbdraft: https://t.co/LvjfWILRhf
— Michael Lananna (@mlananna) June 10, 2016
Red Sox get massive upside. Yes Groome carries a lot of risk, but special arm, special breaking ball. Boston a team that can take risks.

The Phillies are on the clock.
For the last two weeks, we have paired them with California HS OF Mickey Moniak#mlbdraft— Baseball America (@BaseballAmerica) June 9, 2016
Got a good look at Mickey Moniak at @ACBaseballGames. He hit everything. A dynamic, athletic player with projection. https://t.co/f85aruuyYC
