MLB Draft 2016: Results, Grades and Top Steals for Rounds 1-3

After an exciting first day, the MLB draft resumed on Friday with less firepower than Thursday.

The third round kicked off Friday's fast-paced Day 2 of the draft, and there were some notable picks in Round 3 that boosted, lowered or kept teams' draft grades the same.

Here's a refresher of Thursday's beginning to the draft, as well as some added names from Day 2.

Team	Players Drafted	Analysis	Grade
Arizona Diamondbacks	OF Anfernee Grier (39), C Andrew Yerzy (52), RHP Jon Duplantier (89)	The D-Backs could use some outfield production. Grier has speed and a strong arm in center.	B
Atlanta Braves	RHP Ian Anderson (3), LHP Joey Wentz (40), LHP Kyle Muller (44), C Brett Cumberland (76), LHP Drew Harrington (80)	Atlanta addressed pitching often, but Ian Anderson was questionable seeing as he wasn't the first pitcher taken in mocks.	B-
Baltimore Orioles	RHP Cody Sedlock (27), LHP Keegan Akin (54), RHP Matthias Dietz (69), RF Austin Hays (91)	Another team that could use a lot of pitching. Baltimore did well with what was available.	B
Boston Red Sox	LHP Jason Groome (12), SS C.J. Chatham (51), RHP Shaun Anderson (88)	Groome could've gone in the top 10, so the Red Sox got a huge steal there. Great foundation piece. Anderson was also good on a deep Florida rotation.	A-
Chicago Cubs	RHP Tom Hatch (104)	Hatch is a good groundball pitcher with a lot of heat on his sinking pitches. Solid first pick by the Cubbies.	B
Chicago White Sox	C Zack Collins (10), RHP Zack Burdi (26), RHP Alec Hansen (49), OF Alex Call (86)	Collins is a gem. He can move to first base in time, but he could be CWS' version of Anthony Rizzo.	B+
Cincinnati Reds	3B Nick Senzel (2), OF Taylor Trammell (35), C Chris Okey (43), RHP Nick Hanson (79)	Senzel has a smooth right-handed swing and can drive in runs and hit homers. Future of the Reds looks bright.	A
Cleveland Indians	OF Will Benson (14), 3B Nolan Jones (55), C Logan Ice (72)	Benson has drawn comparisons to Jason Heyward. The Indians could use someone like that badly.	A-
Colorado Rockies	RHP Riley Pint (4), RHP Robert Tyler (38), LHP Ben Bowden (45), SS Garrett Hampson (81)	Pint can hit 100 mph. The Rockies need a flamethrower like that. Great size, great potential.	A
Detroit Tigers	RHP Matt Manning (9)	Early work in the draft for the Tigers. Manning has a 97 mph fastball, and his 6'6" frame makes him unique.	B+
Houston Astros	RHP Forrest Whitley (17), OF Ronnie Dawson (61), C Jake Rogers (97)	The Astros add to their stellar collection of pitching with the 6'7" Whitley, who has a near-100 mph fastball.	B
Kansas City Royals	RHP A.J. Puckett (67), CF Khalil Lee (103)	The defending champs grabbed a pitcher in Puckett who can work both sides of the plate well. Lee is an athletic outfielder who will provide great defense.	B
Los Angeles Angels	C Matt Thaiss (16), RF Brandon Marsh (60), SS Nolan Williams (96)	Thaiss was the best hitter on one of the best teams in the country. The Angels got a good one.	B+
Los Angeles Dodgers	SS Gavin Lux (20), C Will Smith (32), RHP Jordan Sheffield (36), RHP Mitchell White (65), RHP Dustin May (101)	Lux was the second-best shortstop in high school. He could be an important cog in the Dodgers infield in the future.	B
Miami Marlins	LHP Braxton Garrett (7), CF Thomas Jones (84)	Garrett could be a good No. 2 pitcher if he gets stronger and perfects his changeup. Jones has power and quickness at the plate.	A-
Milwaukee Brewers	OF Corey Ray (5), 3B Lucas Erceg (46), C Mario Feliciano (75), RHP Braden Webb (82)	Behind Mickey Moniak, Ray might be the best position prospect. Webb is two years removed from Tommy John surgery but has a lot of potential.	A-
Minnesota Twins	OF Alex Kirilloff (15), C Ben Rortvedt (56), SS Jose Miranda (73), OF Akil Baddoo (74), RHP Griffin Jax (93)	The Twins need some more pitching. Kirilloff is a good prospect, but there were more pressing needs.	C+
New York Mets	RHP Justin Dunn (19), LHP Anthony Kay (31), 1B Pete Alonso (64)	Dunn and Kay have college experience and could be in line for Triple-A starts soon.	B+
New York Yankees	OF Blake Rutherford (18), 2B Nick Solak (62)	The Yankees are preparing for the future. Getting two future impact players will help rush that process.	A-
Oakland Athletics	LHP A.J. Puk (6), RHP Daulton Jefferies (37), RHP Logan Shore (47)	The A's had no problem getting Florida's top pitchers on their team. Both of them, especially Puk, are solid.	A
Philadelphia Phillies	OF Mickey Moniak (1), RHP Kevin Gowdy (42), SS Cole Stobbe (78)	Moniak might be the next Bryce Harper or Mike Trout. Can do everything well. Phillies need a complete player like him	A
Pittsburgh Pirates	3B Will Craig (22), LHP Nick Lodolo (41), RHP Travis MacGregor (68), SS Stephen Alemais (105)	The Pirates got themselves a fine-tuned third baseman in Craig. Could move to outfield one day.	B+
San Diego Padres	RHP Cal Quantrill (4), SS Hudson Sanchez (24), LHP Eric Lauer (25), OF Buddy Reed (48), RHP Reggie Lawson (71), RHP Mason Thompson (85)	The Padres wasted no time in replacing James Shields. More importantly, Cal Quantrill might be the best location pitcher of this draft.	A
San Francisco Giants	OF Bryan Reynolds (59), OF Heath Quinn (95)	Reynolds' defensive abilities will improve, but the Giants will always take a guy with smart batting instincts.	B+
Seattle Mariners	OF Kyle Lewis (11), 3B Joe Rizzo (50), SS Bryson Brigman (87)	Lewis has pop and can be a home run specialist at Safeco Field.	A-
St. Louis Cardinals	SS Delvin Perez (23), OF Dylan Carlson (33), RHP Dakota Hudson (34), RHP Connor Jones (70), RHP Zac Gallen (106)	Perez is mainly a defensive-minded shortstop and has Gold Glove potential. Getting the pitchers also bolsters the farm system.	B+
Tampa Bay Rays	3B Joshua Lowe (13), OF Ryan Boldt (53), OF Jake Fraley (77), RHP Austin Franklin (90)	He may not be an Evan Longoria replacement, but Lowe could be a Rays star in the years to come with his defense and bat.	B
Texas Rangers	LHP Cole Ragans (30), RHP Alex Speas (63), 3B Kole Enright (99)	The Rangers needed to improve their farm pitching. Ragans and Speas both throw hard and can be future cogs in the Texas bullpen.	B+
Toronto Blue Jays	RHP T.J. Zeuch (21), OF J.B. Woodman (57), SS Bo Bichette (66), RHP Zach Johnson (102)	Not a flashy draft for the Blue Jays, but Zeuch could be a future closer with No. 1 starter material down the line.	B-
Washington Nationals	SS Carter Kieboom (28), RHP Dane Dunning (29), 3B Sheldon Neuse (58), LHP Jesus Luzardo (94)	Kieboom is versatile and can play many positions. It may take a bit to find which position fits him best.	B-

Top Steals

Jason Groome, LHP, Boston Red Sox (No. 12 pick)

Six pitchers went ahead of Jason Groome before the Boston Red Sox took the Barnegat High School left-hander with the 12th pick.

Groome could have easily gone in the top 10. He's a 17-year-old with a 96 mph fastball and a ridiculous curve to boot. He even threw a 19-strikeout no-hitter in his senior year. For a pitcher his age, to have the kind of stuff he has is impeccable. Keith Law of ESPN.com had Groome high on his board:

Behind A.J. Puk, who was taken with the sixth overall pick by the Oakland Athletics, Groome might be the second-best pitcher in this draft with his great overall command of his pitches. Based on what Groome brings to the table, the Red Sox showed they believe in him, per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe:

The only downside for Groome, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, is he wants top-five money. He thinks he's deserving of it, but the Red Sox may think differently. Based on Abraham's assumption, Boston may have enough faith to give him that type of money.

Alex Speas, RHP, Texas Rangers (No. 63 pick)

The Texas Rangers made it clear pitching was a priority early in the draft. More importantly, they wanted hard-throwing guys who could be valuable bullpen pieces down the road.

Enter Alex Speas, a hard-throwing right-hander with potential No. 4 starter-quality stuff.

Speas has a fastball that can go as high as 96 mph and a vicious sinker. The only downside is his lack of command in his off-speed pitching, but there's potential for that to improve.

Nonetheless, the Rangers need bullpen help, and it looks like their plan is to use their youth to address their relief pitching in the short term.

Jheremy Brown of Perfect Game is high on the selection of Speas:

It is an upside pick with little downside. Speas could have a role on the Rangers in one way or another. He should be considered for Texas' closer role in four or five years if he has a strong minor league showing.

Buddy Reed, OF, San Diego Padres (No. 48 pick)

Here's a bit of news that's not surprising: The San Diego Padres need help.

They need dynamic playmakers, pitching and baserunning. In short, the Padres need a bit of everything.

San Diego addressed pitching in the first round with Cal Quantrill and Eric Lauer, but they grabbed a dynamic outfielder in Florida center fielder Buddy Reed early in the second round.

Reed is a rare talent. He has good size at 6'4", terrific length and speed to run the bases effectively. He's also a good hitter from both sides of the plate and even has the occasional pop.

Reed was one of many Florida Gators drafted on Thursday, resulting in a good day in Gainesville, per the team's official Twitter account:

Given the Padres' track record of struggling baseball, Reed will need some time to develop his game. But he'll get the chance to be an everyday player for the Padres after a few years.
