The Draft Power Rankings (and Erik and Adam too)

5) The Zou – Erik Johnson

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Hamels, Smoltz, Lincecum
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): Braun, Tulowitzki, Morneau (9)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Nick Swisher (8)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Joey Votto (24th Round - 4)
Draft Grade (Ranking): B -

The top half of his draft was full of over-valuations. The bottom half of his draft was the best of anybody. It’s hard grading Erik’s teams because rookies and second year players are so hard to project. I’ll go neutral and place him fifth on this list.

4) (A Very Gay Team Name) – Adam Keller

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Chris Young, Maine, B. Myers (9)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): Rollins, A. Ramirez, R. Howard (6)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Dan Uggla (6)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Delmon Young (19th Round - 6)
Draft Grade (Ranking): B -

His first and second round picks should have been flip-flopped. Getting Delmon Young in the 19th round was a steal. I would have rated him higher if I did think his team name was so stupid. That and his pitching staff sucks. But mostly because of his team name…
