The 2011 MLB Draft is in the rear-view mirror, and now it's time to gather as much information about the Seattle Mariners' picks as possible. With 50 rounds of prospects, it's tough to digest who a lot of these players are and which will have an impact on the team in the future, but we can get a sneak peek this weekend. The Mariners have multiple prospects playing on a national stage at the NCAA Baseball Super Regionals, including No. 2 overall pick Danny Hultzen, the ace of the Virginia Cavaliers staff.
But the Mariners didn't just take Hultzen and ignore the rest of his team. Instead, Seattle picked three Virginia players in the early stages of the 2011 MLB Draft, including Hultzen's catcher, John Hicks, and the Cavaliers' third baseman, Steven Proscia.
Seattle also selected Michael McGee, a center fielder from Florida State, with the 453rd overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft. His team is still playing, and will face Texas A&M this weekend. John Taylor, a righty our of South Carolina, will be in action this weekend as the Gamecocks battle Connecticut. Stanford pitcher Jordan Pries rounds out the group of Mariners picks playing this weekend.
