Everybody is bumping their draft history, so why not.

2008 was OK - Wallace became a big league player, but not enough value for No. 10. Ike Davis had a few good enough years, and for 63, I'd take that every day.

2009 was a disaster. Probably not going to have a good draft if you're starting at 86.

Just kidding. Grabbing Dickerson at 133 in 2010 was probably my best pick value wise. Ramos became a prospect for a little bit, so not bad for 103 either.

Taking Darvish No. 1 overall in 2011 was the easy call. I dealt him in 2012, but he still got a ring with the Pirates for his service in the first half of the year. Amir Garrett at 89 was one of my better late round picks as well.

2012 was pretty excellent. Gallo is one of the better prospects, but he's in a make or break situation. Still, he became a top prospect, so some success regardless. Piscotty is already an above average regular with room for more. Sims needs to show some more consistency but is still very much a prospect and Barreto is a top 100 guy. My best draft class.

Not much to write home about in 2013, but Dom Nunez is on the map.

2014 is a bit deceiving - Isan Diaz should be in there. Dan and I had a trade agreed upon during the draft that couldn't be completed until after the draft. He was a mid-round pick, and is a top 50 prospect now. Davidson needs to stop striking out so much, and the others there aren't much good. I traded Lara during the draft in aforementioned deal to get Beede - so this is a weird list that should include Beede and Diaz, making it a little better.

2015, Maeda fell to me which was nice. Park is a bust so far, but he still has power and I'm sure will get another shot. Jury is out on Martinez, and Pache looks like a pretty good pick, especially at 120.

Overall, I've done a pretty good job drafting, and haven't had a total bust of a class since 2009 - though 2013 will be a bust entirely unless Nunez can do something.
