Chris Crawford of MLB Draft Insider posted his second to last mock draft today and had the Mets selecting D.J. Peterson.

It should be noted that Crawford has Austin Meadows going to the Red Sox with the 7th pick, Reese McGuire to the Pirates with the 9th pick, and Clint Frazier to the Blue Jays right before us with the 10th pick.

The idea that D.J. Peterson is going to be drafted to the Mets has been gaining steam recently. This is Baseball America’s take on Peterson.

“Scouts gush about his hitting ability. He has short, hitter’s arms, tremendous bat speed and strength, and always hits the ball on the screws. His hitting mechanics are sound, with quick, strong hands, and he shows the ability to make adjustments on the fly. He has keen pitch recognition skills and already has a pro approach to his at-bats. While New Mexico plays at an elevation higher than Coors Field, scouts say Peterson’s power is legitimate. That’s good because defense will never be a big part of his game. He is a below-average runner with an above-average arm. He moves well for his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame and should get a chance to stick at third base, but he’ll likely wind up in left field or first base. Peterson’s bat should allow him to move quickly.”
