Keith Law posted his final draft prospect rankings(subscription required) on Wednesday afternoon and he has TCU pitcher Brandon Finnegan rated #24 and Stanford third baseman Alex Blandino rated in the 39th spot.
After the Pittsburgh Pirates added the 39th pick in the Bryan Morris deal, it gave them a second chance to add impact talent in the draft and these rankings from Law prove just how deep the top end of the draft is this year. Blandino is someone that has been mentioned often going to the Pirates with the 24th pick in mock drafts, yet Law believes he only ranks 39th overall in this draft class. You might not get Blandino, but it shows that someone of his talent will be available when the Pirates pick.
During our last draft preview, we just happened to mention both of these players, so you can check out scouting reports and videos on both of them here.
