The Draft Power Rankings (and Tony, Joel and Jeff too)

This is less of a power ranking and more of a draft review. The bottom three are bellow, with the middle two coming Sunday and the top three on Monday.

****

10) Springfield Rasmi – Tony Allen

Top Three Starters (Ranking): J. Santana, Matsuzaka, J. Shields (10)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): Reyes, Ichiro, Pujols (8)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Edgar Renteria (7)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Colby Rasmus (23rd Round - 6)
Draft Grade (Ranking): D + (10)

Tony has Johan Santana, Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols… and that’s about it. Yeah, his draft was THAT bad. Pujols injury risk also hurts him.

9) (My Team Name Sucks) – Joel Schilb

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Beckett, Vazquez, P. Martinez (8)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): Holliday, Ortiz, Teixeira (10)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Michael Cuddyer (9)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): Carlos Delgado (28th Round - 10)
Draft Grade (Ranking): C – (9)

Joel showed progression by not having a god awful draft. Still, he has more risk on his team than he does consistent players and most of those risks are very high. I see most of those risks crashing leading to another poor season for Joel.

8) Polk County Phantom Menaces – Jeff Kimball

Top Three Starters (Ranking): Kazmir, Zambrano, Hudson (5)
Top Three Hitters (Ranking): V. Martinez, M. Ramirez, Utley (7)
Top Bench Guy (Ranking): Shane Victorino (10)
Keeper Prospect (Ranking): J.J. Hardy (18th Round - 7)
Draft Grade (Ranking): C – (8)

Kazmir getting hurt is a bad sign. Kimball’s lineup looks more like an NL lineup than a fantasy lineup. However, I think Manny has a big season and J.J. Hardy will have a breakout year too. Shane Victorino could be a hot commodity come the trade deadline.
