5. Matt Wieters, C, Georgia Tech
Wieters is rated as the best hitting prospect in the draft. a 6'5" catcher, Wieters has no doubt been compared to Joe Mauer. This could end up being the best pick value-wise in the draft, and the Orioles have the money to satisfy Scott Boras. Also, Wieters is great behind the plate with a fantastic arm, as he was the Yellow Jackets closer for part of the season.

Interesting pick... I had heard the Orioles were dead set on not taking Boras clients, but he must have just been too good to pass up. Will be interesting to see what type of deal Boras demands.
