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?

Didn’t he ironically cause his teammates concussion on accident?

That whole stupid thing was Strickland’s fault. I don’t blame Smardisdja for it one bit.
