The Draft Power Rankings (and Andrew and Casey too)

I forgot to mention that today, Saturday, I would be posting the best of the suckers (spots 7 and 6). So, without further Freddy Adu, here are those rankings.

7) Hancock’s Halos – Andrew Wessley

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Verlander, Sabathia, R. Hill (4)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): D. Wright, B. Abreu, Jeter (5)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Carlos Pena (5)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Ian Snell (14th Round - 9)
Draft Grade (Ranking): C

How's that Kelvim Escobar selection going for you Andrew? With the exception of the Vernon Wells selection, rounds 7 through 26 were not so good. Fortunately, they were not terrible and his top six picks weren't too bad. I project that Andrew will start the year strong, trade half his team and then have the first pick in the draft next year. That is unless Tony completely bombs the season (which is possible).

6) Springfield KC – Casey Allen

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Webb, Halladay, Pettitte (3)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): Guerrero, Hafner, Berkman (4)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Adrian Gonzalez (2)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Adam Jones (24th round - 8)
Draft Grade (Ranking): C

Casey’s total pitching staff is very solid. Having Nathan and Borowski is the definition of Yin and Yang. Having Guerrero, Hafner, Berkman and Gonzalez in the same lineup is going to be a nice complement to his pitching staff.
