Analysis 2018: the year everyone drafted wrong

None of the 10 best players in the 2018 draft were actually picked in the top 10. In fact, only 3 of them went in the first 2 rounds. Here's what a redraft would look like, if everyone actually drafted correctly. Pretty wild to imagine this alternate MLB.

Other notable players in the draft: Shane McClanahan, Drew Rasmussen, Kris Bubic, Lawrence Butler, Brice Turang. Bohm, India, and Mize weren't terrible picks. How would you redraft 2018?

[Nightengale] The Dodgers are toying with the idea of using Shohei Ohtani in relief during the postseson, but if they do, he would vacate his spot in the lineup when his turn came up to hit. If he’s a starter, he’s permitted to stay in the game as a DH after he’s done pitching.
