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?

This is why when a team trades prospects I don't get pissed. You never know how things will turn out. If you have a shot to win a WS, then go for it.

Yes, this is why I’m totally not at ALL sad that we traded PCA for half a season of Baez.

Now excuse me while I continue to NOT cry under my bed
