AL NORTH
Toronto Bats
(Rochester Redwings)-jwperry 1st Rnd Picks
(12-21-37) (26 ML Years Total Service)
Draft Grade: B- Some nice picks that held down
major league jobs for good stretches, plus one nice late pick.
Jw was an
owner from season 1 thru 41 and never really got his team on the right track.
With only a handful of winning seasons and even less playoff appearances, he
had plenty of chances to draft in a good spot.
1-12 SethMacRae-CF- Broke the bank with a 5 Million signing bonus. A solid player but
probably didn’t live up to the money spent on him. 200 career homers but just a
.250 career AVG. Nothing special with the glove while playing 2nd/CF
he did win a GG late in his career at 1st base.
1-21 JayO’Keefe-SS-A nice mid-1st round pick Jay was a plus defender at SS
making almost 200 Career plus plays. Solid pop as he hit double digit homers
every season he played in the Bigs (11)
1-37
Bronson Darvill-3rd- Played 4 seasons in the minors. Looked like a good power bat that could have
handled a COF spot but never got the chance.
9-312 Sal Ross-SP-Signed for just 68K Ross had a few solid seasons. Picking up double digits
in wins in 4 of his season in the majors, while also crossing over 200IP three
times. A nice steal.
Cincinnati Boom Sticks
(Vancouver Vaders)-Kylo_Ren 1st Rnd Picks (Zero)
Draft Grade: F, First pick came in the 6th
round and no pick ever reached the majors
Kylo used
this season to grab every Type A free agent he could giving up all his picks in
the first five rounds. It worked out as he won the WS the next season, he
dropped to 82 wins after that, left the team in shambles and it took 3 owners
and about 12 seasons to rebuild. Bit of
a douche move really
Minnesota Millers-dflom2008
1st Rnd Picks (47th) (0 Major League Years Service)
Draft Grade: D-, with only the late pick in the
1st round Minnesota didn’t really make an impact, they would win the
WS two years later so it doesn’t really matter
Dflom has
been here for every season up and down like most owners. This draft was at the
tale end of a really solid 5 year stretch and he was drafting late and not able
to do much in terms of rebuilding.
1-47 RamonKida-3rd- Never made the majors but did get to AAA for 2 whole
seasons. A possible speedy COF type that Minnesota just never really needed.
Pawtucket Terriers-burk
1st Rnd Picks (16th-40th)
(24 years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B, no superstars but two very good
players including a super late pick.
Another
long term owner, he was at the start of a 4 year down turn. This draft was a
good start in the right direction.
1-16th
Jeromy Espy-2nd Would make 1
All-Star team in his career as he was a solid fielder with enough pop and speed
to stay in the lineup as an everyday player for about 10 seasons.
1-40th
Russell Shirley-CF Defense first with
some speed. Stole over 20 bases in three of his seasons while also making 28
plus plays in CF
14-476 BenSadowski-2nd Nice late pick,
winner of two gold gloves and had three straight seasons with 20+ homers. Not sure why his career ended so suddenly as
his last season was a career best .286 AVG with 64 Extra base hits and 14
steals.
AL East
Pittsburgh Pilots-cshake93 1st Rnd Picks (28th-65th)
(29 years of Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C+ All
things considered he did pretty will, getting three major leaguers who
collectively played almost 30 seasons.
Cshakes 9th season with the league as he was
really putting together a solid franchise. Didn’t hit any homers in this draft
but also didn’t swing and miss either.
1-28 Paulie Gibson-CF
Paulie was an Okay player, He didn’t field well enough to Play CF and
didn’t hit well enough to play the COF. Was a solid 4th OF but
nothing more.
1-65th Wilking Cerda- CF Now this guy could field (72+ plays) even
winning 1 Gold Glove in CF. Scored over 100 Runs once and stole over 300 bases.
Very good supplemental pick
7-264th Howie Reynolds-C Another great fielder (1
Gold Glove) Was a solid DITR who hit almost 100 homers in a part time role.
Baltimore Dry Docks-krisr
1st Rnd Picks (4th) (2 years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D-, yes they drafted 4th
but he was awful when he played
After a
rare down year Krisr was onto a quick rebuild, this was not the draft that did
it for him.
1-4th-
Benito Pineda-Rel Not sure what happened
here, should have been a solid bullpen arm on a solid team. Somehow never figured
out how to pitch at the ML level getting shelled every season. A real dud at #4
Iowa City Small Bears-rschaitkin
1st Rnd Picks (15th-23rd-32nd-39th-51st)
(41 years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B+, Looks like he got all the comp
picks from Cincy. 5 Major league players in one draft is a good year.
This team had
been pretty bad for several seasons rschaitkin was in the process of rebuilding
that would see him win 96+ games for the next 4 seasons.
1-15th-
Rondell Betemit- RF Big free swinger who popped 145 homers and struck out about
25% of his at bats. Solid fielder at 3rd but better in RF for his
career.
1-23rd-
Joba Connelly-C 3 X AS and a Silver Slugger. While not a HOF catcher he was a
full time backstop for ten seasons with solid pop and good game behind the
plate
1-32nd-VictorKuttler-Rel Once won 12 games as a
reliever. Not great but held a major league job for ten years.
1-39thHarry Terrero-MIF Good glove guy who
barely hit his weight
1-51st-
Houston Pritchett-2nd Another
solid glove guy, had a promising bat as well winning silver slugger awards as
high as AAA. Never put it together in the bigs.
Indianapolis Swinging
Hoosiers-egide10 1st Rnd Picks (17th) (7
years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C, couple of nice late picks but
none of his picks really made an impact
Egide has
been with us since season 15, making it to the WS in 37. This draft didn’t
really push the pedal or the brake for this team
1-17th
–Will Harris-Utility Played every position besides Catcher, looked the best at
1st Not a bad bat
.274/343/404 surprising he didn’t get more of a shot to play COF or 2nd
with the offense he could have provided.
15-509th-
Oswaldo Paz-LR Lacked the control needed to be a dominate bullpen arm. A career
3.83 ERA in just over 150IP
17th-573rd-MaxCollins-LF another guy who could have been a solid COF/1st. Ran well
played solid defence and hit well enough to play somewhere
Al South
Mexico City Diablos-Acerothstein 1st Rnd Picks
(10-30-46-52) (53 years Major League
Service)
Draft Grade: B+, a decent amount of quality. A
lot of quantity.
After
taking three seasons off Ace returned with a solid draft that would pay
dividends for years to come
1-10th-BretSellers-SP HE THREW A PERFECT
GAME!!! Beyond that he was a pretty
average losing more games then he won (87-95)
1-30th-ShelleyCatalanotto-SP Better pitcher then Sellers, no perfect games but did make an
All-Star team. Carved out a nice little career throwing just over 2000 innings
and winning 113 games.
1-46th
Phil Kwon-2nd Gold Glove 2nd
baseman also played CF very well. Couldn’t hit a lick but ran like a devil
stealing 177 bases over a three year period.
1-52nd
Teodoro Manto-C Platoon catcher who had
two ok seasons with the bat popping off for 11 home runs in about 300 at bats
each year.
4-158th
Paulo Ogando-C 6 time Gold Glove winner,
not a great hitter but could run into a dozen or so long balls every season.
Great pick in the 4th round.
Atlanta Mental
Patients-(Oklahoma City Cowboys) rkdixon 1st Rnd Picks (29-45-66-70-72) (19
Years ML Service)
Draft Grade: C+
A couple of decent picks here but 4 players that didn’t contribute much
Rkdixon’s 1st
of 4 years in the league, he didn’t hurt the team with this draft but he didn’t
do much for their future success either
1-29th-RockyCarasone-2nd/OF Dynamic
player that couldn’t seem to harness his gifts. Sub 300 OBP hampered his great
stealing ability.
1-45th
-Don Parque-3rd Played 4 games in the majors but about 2600 in the
MIL. 1000 Extra base hits and a solid fielder. One of those many players who
was too good for AAA but not good enough for the Majors.
1-66th-JoelAdams-Rel-Never reached the majors but did make one AAA all star game
1-70th
–Fritz Green-LR- Solid LR arm who had some good seasons and some not so good. 800ip and a sub 4 ERA isn’t bad for pick in
the 70’s
1-72nd-
Lewis Boyd-Rel-Had one full season in which he was truly awful
11-393rd-
Stuffy Alfaro-2nd This guy made an All-Star game in season 31. Must
have been a down year for the league J
Very good fielder who had okay power, 5 seasons with over 10 homers, but
only a 254 AVG
Tampa Bay Water Dogs-jmaese- 1st Rnd Picks (19-41)
(31 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B-
No one was great, but grabbing 5 players who made the Majors is a solid
draft. No stars but nice pieces
Jmaese has
been here every season except 2 early on. This season was the start of a long
rebuild that would see Tampa play no better then .500 ball for 13 seasons
straight.
1-19 -SamLange- SP Long lanky lefty had trouble
finding a grove in the majors. Stuck around long enough to win 105 games but
only had 4 seasons with a winning record and never cracked double digits.
1-41 -JamieCharles-C Blew up his rookie year where he hit 12 homers and 16 doubles in just
75 games. After that only had 3 at bats in the majors. Not sure why he didn’t
get more chances, hit 280 homers mostly in AAA.
2-95-OrlandoBalboa-Rel Twice cracked the 100 IP plateau, but with a 5.19 Career ERA maybe
shouldn’t have
3-124-JavyJulio-SS Light hitting Infielder played
almost 300 games hitting 17 homers and stealing 16 bases. Glove couldn’t help him
stay in the majors longer
4-159-LanceTerrell-SS Great fieder (137+ plays at
SS) even winning a Gold Glove. Twice hit double digit homers and three times
stole over 10 bases. The 571 OPS was less flashy. Still a nice pick for the 4th
round.
Louisville Horsemen/New
Orleans-geedub 1st Rnd Draft Picks (6-55) (17
Seasons Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B, only one player made it to the
majors but he was a solid borderline AS for a good chunk of his career
Another
long term owner, this draft was part of one of the many rebuilds by geedub. The
lack of this teams success was not due to this draft.
1-6- RalphWalker-CF Played out of position for
most of his career (178 Negative plays at SS/CF) Better suited to 2nd/3rd.
Great hitter (2600 hits-273 HR) stole a few bases (157). All in all not bad
pick.
1-55- BillyMoreno-P Never signed, never played
AL West
Salem Witch Hunts-Auggieward
1st Rnd Picks (3-33-35-54) (43 years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: A- Two very solid SP’s and a top
flight closer. The effects of this draft are still in effect today.
This draft
would be part of the reason Salem would be one of the stronger teams for its near
future.
1-3- DanteLarkin-SP Won a Gold Glove and 2 Rings,
Racked up over 2000 K’s while winning 165 games. Solid mid rotation arm, may
have been a bit of a disappointment at #3 but all in all a quality arm.
1-33-MiguelDespaigne-SP- Had some solid seasons as a SP winning 114 games with a 4.20
ERA. Best season went 16-7 with a 3.32
ERA. Two nice SP’s in one draft.
1-35-Jamie Mullins-Rel
This guy is still playing!!! 4 X All-Star and a Fireman winner. Saved 34 games
in his rookie year, 14 years later at the age of 37 he saved 37 more. Great
bullpen arm.
1-54-TeoscarSandoval-Rel Played two very good seasons to start his career (76 games-203 IP
with a 3.80 ERA). One more season and he
was out of the league.
Helena Roughnecks/Albuquerque-tomcecil
1st Rnd Picks (67th) (7 years Major League Service)
Draft
Grade: C+ a smart late pick but a wasted
1st round
Toms teams
were very good while he was here, I can only imagine he didn’t have much money
for scouting. This season he would win the WS (2 in 4 years) so a bad draft can
be forgiven.
1-67-
Radley Bowes-Very late first round pick. Never made it to the show
13-461-AlanMcClure-SP Burst on the scene going 15-7
as a part time starter/reliever in his rookie year. Then 15-6 in his second
last season while pitching 211 innings with a smart 4.05 ERA,
Boise Potatoes/Fresno-hofstad_c
1st Rnd Picks (14-60) (19 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B- some solid value early and
late. No one that made many headlines
Hofstad was
a few seasons away from GM’ing one of the best Franchises this league has ever
seen. While this draft was OK, not sure it played a huge role.
1-14-AlcidesJacquez-SS Just finished his career a
few seasons ago. Making 1 All-Star team and winning himself a Gold Glove. Not
much of a hitter but did keep his OBP over 300 which isn’t bad for a guy with
130+ plays at SS.
1-60-MikeVarvaro-Rel Only pitched one season in the majors and it was nothing to right
home about.
2-77-AddisonHernandez-LR Bit of a work horse arm
pitching 219 innings over his best two season out of the pen. Too bad his ERA
was over 5 for the same two seasons
2-86-ValerioCerveza-1st Got one short stint
in the majors which saw him hit 3 homers in 88 AB’s. Looks like he had a solid
stick but no glove to speak of.
14-474-Santo Owen-SP Probably got some ROY love going
13-13 in 204 innings with a 3.96 ERA. Went 19-28 with an ERA closer to 5
for the rest of his career.
Vancouver Hikers-Honolulu-KKrab 1st Rnd Picks (2) (14 Years Major League Service time)
Draft Grade: C+
a bit of a misfire with the 2nd Pick, salvaged slightly with
the very late pick.
Kkrab with
a .392 winning % is probably one of the worst GM’s ever. He actually wasn’t to
bad here but didn’t do much this year to build this team up.
1-2- CarlosMartinez-2nd Played 3 of the
4 infield positions for most of his career. Fielded better at 2nd
and 3rd but bat played better at SS. Had a 20/20 season and finished with 146 Homers and 194 Steals. Would eventually win three Rings with Fresno. A good
player but not a great pick at #2
15-495-TomGilheeney-Rel Had a handful of okay seasons picking up 9 wins and 6 saves while
keeping his ERA just under 4.50.
NL North
Detroit Motors/Chicago-alogman1
1st Rnd Picks (42-61)
(17 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C- Nothing you couldn’t find in a good
Rule 5 Draft
Had been
here since season 1 and after being a top team for a few seasons was falling
back to .500 alogman had probably checked out by now.
1-42-WarrenJones-Rel Pretty good bullpen arm Double
digit wins and saves 3 times in his career, twice in the same year. Pitched
almost 700 games over his 14 year stint.
1-61-PepeQuiononez-3rd Okay utility
player for a handful of years, but that’s all.
Chicago Fighting Owls/Seattle-Gogogiants
1st Rnd Picks (13-38-59-68)
(8 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D while one pick was pretty good,
getting just that out of 4 First round picks isn’t great.
This was
gogo’s 1st of three very uneventful seasons in the league.
1-13 TerryKickham- 2nd Solid fielder
who was a threat on the bases. Made 53+ plays and second and stole 213 bases.
Career OBP of 342 was pretty good for a free swinger that struck out almost
twice as much as he walked.
1-38-JackHigginson-SP Never reached the majors
but was a minor league All-Star
1-59 George Morgan-CF Went unsigned
1-68-DomingoSierra-SP Had trouble keeping the ball
in the park and staying employed
Syracuse Stars-hatton98-
1st Rnd Picks (5) (8 years
Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D
Drafting this high you have to hope for more of an impact player
Hatton just
left us this season, and I am sure this will go down as one of his worst drafts
1-5 Billy Brock LR
Started off his career as a starter, going 12-9 one season, but after
that fell out of favour Hatton and spent the most of his next 7 seasons working
as a Long Reliever. Has to count as an
almost wasted pick
2-78 Yoslan Mairena SS- Got a cup of coffee in season 24 but failed to make an impact
Montreal Smoked
Heaters/Kansas City-urbanwarrior 1st
Rnd Picks (8-57) (7 Years Major League
service)
Draft Grade: C-
Could have been a better player then the stats show
Urbanwarrior
found new and inventive ways to make his team worse and worse every year
1-8 Troy Sikorski-C Was drafted as a SS and actually
played almost a 1000 Innings at 3rd base. Not sure why he was
playing Catcher, I guess we know why Urban’s teams were so trash. Did hit over
10 homers 6 times while driving in 62 in his rookie year and 64 in his last,
Could have been an Ok corner fielder
1-57 GeraldBaker CF Never reached the majors
NL East
Trento Jakes Jokers-Louisville-solowke
1st Rnd Picks (1-18-31-34-49-53) (36 years Major league
service)
Draft Grade: A- would love to grade higher as
he does get a great player and a solid player but 4 pretty big misses on his
other 1st round picks
This was
solos last season with the league, after winning 6 world series he had come
upon hard times and was ready to leave, at least he didn’t leave the cupboard
bare
1-1 Howard Rolls –RF A probable Hall of Famer, this is what you want from a #1 pick, still racking up stats today at the age of 40. Has passed 3000 hits-400 homers-and almost 600 doubles all while batting over .300 Was never a great fielder but 6 all star selections and Silver Slugger award are in his trophy case, was traded to Salem a season later.
1-18 Willis Gibson-SP Lost 90 games while only winning 42, best season saw him go 9-16 in
218 innings while having a solid 3.92 ERA
1-31 Mark Conway – SP didn’t reach majors but did win a minor league Gold Glove
1-34 RickyRichard- REL Made 675 appearances all
but one from the bullpen. 159 saves and
57 wins, 3 All Star teams and a WS ring. Was a solid Bullpen workhorse type of
guy.
1-49 TravisPerry 2nd 1 AAA All Star team
but no Major league games
1-53-TyreaceNewson REL- Managed to play 79 games in the bigs, but had an ERA of 6.34
New York Empires/Philadelphia-Tommymax
1st Rnd picks (48) (16 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B
One of the best late picks in any draft
Tommy has
been in and out of the world and almost
always had a contender. Maybe these late picks are how he does it.
1-48 JabariSimmons-LF Speedy guy never reached the
majors
19-652 RyanBlevins-RP What a great late pick. Winner
of 3 Rings and 3 All Star games. Maybe 1 of the better pure setup pitchers our
wold has ever seen. 1176 games-1768IP-124 Wins-111 Saves and a career 3.30 ERA
Scranton Schrutes/New
York-tedwilliams1 1st Rnd Picks (None) (2 years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D+
Happy to get anything with no first round picks
Teds first
season, always a winner must have down it with trades and Free agents
3-140
Wilson Dixon- RP Allowed 2 earned runs in 1.1 Innings in his career
15-518
Barry Bumgarner-C Picked up a win as a pitcher by getting 1 out. Also hit 12
homers over three seasons and 517 At Bats.
Philadelphia Penn
Quakers/Boston-XtraHits 1st Rnd Picks
(22-43-62) (24 years Major league service)
Draft Grade:B, One good pick and a solid role
player
Xtra was
starting to put together a solid team here in his 5th season, but
the best part of the draft was trading Torrres for Davey Torres and Kenneth
Shumpert
1-22 JoseTorres-Rel While he was only selected to
1 All Star team he was a solid closer/reliever for many years. 8 Years he saved
20+ games while pitching almost 1000 innings out of the bullpen. Solid pick
1-43 Russell Garko-DH Popped 18 homers one season but didn’t have
the bat to DH or the glove to Catch.
1-62 DJ Ellis-SS- Smooth middle infielder finished his career with 51+ plays at SS and
23 at 2nd. Also had surprising power as he finished his career with
129 doubles and 92 Homers for a .380 SLG
11-386
Jarrod Forbes-LR- Forbes made 7 starts as a rookie and went 0-4 with a 6.00
ERA. Next seasons shifted to the bullpen and his ERA more then doubled to 12.29
NL South
New Orleans Breeze/Mexico
City-feamster 1st Rnd Picks (20) (16 Years
Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C-, Nice steal in round three but
a disappointing 1st rounder
Feamsters 5th
season of about 11 total seasons in the league. Building towards becoming a
very well rounded team.
1-20-Stan Boshers-SS Middle infielder with decent
pop (hit 17 Homers one season) But probably was best suited for RF. Also struck
out a lot (more then 20% of his at bats).
3-125-Rob Smith-Rel- Set up specialist still pitching in the big leagues. Nothing really
amazing in his career but 566 games isn’t bad for a third round pick.
Richmond Brewers-trubrecrew
1st Rnd Picks (24-44-63-69-71) (6 years of Major League
Service)
Draft Grade: D gotta say Trubre must be kicking
himself that none of these 5 1st round picks ever produced much
Trubrecrew
was in the middle of a solid run but I kind of think that this missed draft
would effect the team around season 28
1-24-DewayneAlexander-LR Pitched 55 games in the majors but could barely keep his ERA under
6
1-44-Ron Butler-Rel Saved 21 games one season but outside that got lit up pretty
routinely with a career 5.27 ERA
1-63-Francisco Grandal-Rel Never reached the majors
1-69-Kirk Kingman-1st BIIIIG Swinger, Broke out in season 30 when he launched
38 homers while striking out 159 times. Was out of the league two seasons later
with a .218 AVG
1-71-GlendonOberacker-Another power bat, but never reached the bigs.
Houston Colt 45’s-andyr104
1st Rnd Ricks (9th) (14 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B+, One of the better players taken with just one
1st round pick
Solid draft
by one of our long time GM’s, Hayes will go down as an all time great in
Houston
1-9-RobHayes-RF 6 X All-Star and several Silver Slugger awards. Pooped off for 406
homers while stealing 261 Bases, never once hitting less then 15 or stealing
less then 14. I would suggest he is one of the best players taken in this
draft.
2-82-Bennie Kandilas-LF Powerful guy hit 30 homers in his 555 career at bats, was not a
great fielder but a little surprised he didn’t see more time in the majors.
Jackson Generals-Berrysboys
1st Rnd Picks (11-58) (9 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C-
an okay player but not what you would want for a pick in the top 15
Berrys was
just finding his footing in the league. I am sure he has better drafts to come
1-11- Mac Riefenhauser-RF A solid platoon type
player, fielded well enough and had enough power to go deep 21 times one season
and 98 times in his career. Just not enough production out of COF type.
1-58-Brendan Ellliot-2nd Went unsigned
NL West
Anaheim Anteaters/Santa
Cruz-bigpop34 1st
Rnd Picks (64) (6 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D-, no really good players and
left most of the picks unsigned.
Bigpop had
some pretty good teams while in the league, I am thinking drafting wasn’t his
strong point
1-64-Bernie Blanco-2nd Still playing in
AAA Hasn’t played in the majors since season 30 when he stole 34 bases. Has
almost 600 stolen bases in the minors mostly at AAA, somewhat surprising his
major league career wasn’t longer.
2-96-Julian Lemke-Rel Was okay sometimes and not
other times. Finished his career with 193 games and an ERA of 4.39
Sacramento Stingers/Omaha-dadaniel1
1st Rnd Picks (7-26-36-50-56) (21 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: C+
A lot wasted picks
Dadaniel
was only with us for one season. I don’t think he hurt the team with this draft
but he didn’t set them up for future success either
1-7-Yorrick Eyre-3rd- Not a bad hitter, 206 Homers in his career going over the
20 mark 5 times in his career. Neither a good or a bad fielder.
1-26-Byron Perez-Rel Won 6 games one season as a
starter…but lost 12 games. A career 6.01 ERA wasn’t great in the rotation or
the pen
1-36-YamidSanchez-Rel another less then stellar
arm, 10-23 in his career with a 5.30 ERA over 312 Innings.
1-50-TimHill-P Went unsigned
1-56-MikeDurham-SP Never reached Majors
2-80-JoaquinManzanillo-2nd Hit 12 homers
in just under 300 AB’s his rookie season after that had trouble hitting
weight Weight 207-AVG 224
19-628-YangervisHenriquez-3rd Didn’t fair too
bad considering he was a19th round pick. Hit 236 with a 617 OPS
Las Vegas Desert Dogs-jtpsops
1st Rnd Picks (27) (11 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: D+, this wasn’t the draft that Las
Vegas fans were looking for.
Jt had left
for a bit but was starting to put the team back together again, this draft
would go do as pretty uneventful though
1-27-Wilbur Aurilla-Rel Only twice had an ERA under 3.50, but was a fairly serviceable
relief pitcher for about 6 years.
2-99-Ed Arnold-RF Ed struck out about 33% of the
time he batted and for a guy who once went 187 at bats in a season with 0
Homers and 1 SB that’s not good
Scottsdale Dirtbags-Alexkluge
1st Rnd Picks (25)
(14 Years Major League Service)
Draft Grade: B Got a pretty solid player….but
just the one
Alex always
had very solid teams, while this draft netted him a solid player it remains to
be seen if drafting was what made his teams so good.
1-25-TommieBanks-Rel One of the best high leverage
relief pitchers the league has ever seen.
Has shifted more into an opener role in the later parts of his career.
Sports a 2.96 ERA and a very low WHIP of 1.12
