Best Overall Draft: Atlanta
Second Best Overall Draft: Florida

Upton and Lester versus Cain and McCann, two fantastic duos. I gave the edge to Atlanta based on all three of his other picks making the majors.

Best Value Draft: Atlanta

Not one miss, tough to beat.

Worst Overall Draft: Boston

Came down to Anaheim and Boston, Brad Eldred versus Bill Murphy. Neither got anything out of this draft.

Best 1st Round Pick: 1.16 - Cole Hamels

Upton at eight is great value, as is Greinke at 24. Tough to beat Hamels in the middle of the round.

Worst 1st Round Pick: 1.1 - Chris Gruler

One of those picks that turned out bad because of injury...

Best 2nd Round Pick: 2.13 - Matt Cain

Best 3rd Round Pick: 3.8 - Jon Lester / 3.13 - Brian McCann

Great round. Broxton, Granderson, Dukes, Main also in there. Pretty hard to decide between Lester and McCann.

Best 4th Round Pick: 4.12 - Chris Snyder

Best 5th Round Pick: 5.26 - Joel Zumaya

Makes me wish we had the full results from the original IBC Draft...

Ye gods, it hurts thinking about that draft

Tell me about it... then I see what Jmac (Jmac of all people! Does anyone even remember his freakin name?) did in that draft.

it's worth mentioning that while pick trading wasn't legal for this draft, Rich's first rounder I believe had been dealt surreptitiously during the season to Josh for his fourth rounder. or something like that.

wow besides eldred i havent even heard of any of those guys.

Fuck you Greg Miller.

Hey now, Greg Miller was a valuable part of the 2007 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals bullpen and if I recall, got me out of a couple of big jams against you

Fuck you again Greg Miller.
