Grades are based on this year's needs and possible future impact players. "Highlighted Players" 1. Question the round
in which player was drafted or 2. Higher rated player at the same position was available or 3. Player was actually needed at all.
Pre draft rosters were taken into account with regards to players left on the roster that perhaps should have been released
in favor of a younger player (IMHO) therefore strengthening a teams overall draft. See comments below right.

		Maine - Needed an AZ reliever McGee was there; 3 of the last 4 picks at the least questionable
Sherwood  C+	Memphis   B	Brooklyn - 1st rd A zilch were a dime a dozen; midddle rounds nice but end of draft a little weak
P Erasmo Ramirez 3	P Matt Harvey 2	Philadelphia - A strong draft considering all the holes that needed filled. Some nice late picks.
P James Russell 3	P Alex Cobb 2	USMC - He's back! And they thought the game had passed him bye a few drafts ago.
OF Jonny Gomes 5	Inf Matt Carpenter 3	Rocky Mount -It's tough when your 2nd pick is in the 6th but Aoki in the 2nd I'm not so sure about.
P Sean Doolittle 6	P Gerrit Cole (UC) 4	Hartford - An unspectacular draft but solid none the less.
P Dale Thayer 7	P Marco Estrada 5	Las Vegas - Very nice draft filled needs except for an AZ reliever that was available in the 3rd round.
P Ben Sheets 7	P Jared Hughes 6	Rochester - Obviously did not draft for this year alone but the future looks bright.
2B Cord Phelps 8	SS Carlos Correa (UC) 7	San Diego - I like this draft but needed a shortsop for the future I'm taking Lindor over Gomez
P Johan Santana (NC) 9	P Blake Badenhop 7	Pensacola - This may be their best draft to date; Bernadina the only hiccup
OF Nate Schierholtz 10	3B Caleb Coward (UC) 9	Seattle - 4 AZ relievers not bad. Could have used a middle infielder an there were a few available.
P David Huff 11		Norlfolk - JAKE PEAVY! Surprise of the draft; Some real nice young players and Lynn in the 9th.
P Kyle Waldrop 12		Sherwood - Once again filled his needs. Questionable late round picks.
P Zach McAllister 13		Memphis - Cobb may have been a little early. Kevin Herrera would have been a stronger pick.
