Baseball America released their predictions for the first round MLB draft to be held June 7-8. Here is their prediction for the Orioles pick at #8 overall:

8. ORIOLES. Baltimore targeted Maryland prep righthander Nick Adenhart for this spot, but had to explore other options when he took himself out of a start in early May and faced injury questions. The Orioles turned their attention to Pennsylvania high school catcher Neil Walker and Princeton outfielder B.J. Syzmanski. But they would have a difficult time passing up Verlander or Drew if one were to slide.

PROJECTED PICK: Justin Verlander.
