I don't think I can recall a farm draft from any past season that I was less excited about than this one. There isn't a single player on my lengthy draft list who excites me. There isn't a single player who has a better than 50/50 chance of ever seeing the big leagues. What the fuck is the point of this? What a monumental waste of time. And now we get to fill in 20 farm spots instead of 15. I hate each and every person who voted for this farm expansion.
But enough about me and my seething hatred. Let's take a look at my top ten. As I type, we are four picks into this draft, and already, I've seen one player selected who was not on my radar at all. That player, Jackson Merrill, happens to be the #22 prospect in baseball according to FanGraphs. I know who he is. He was on my list a year ago. I assumed someone had taken him already. No matter how much time I waste-- er, spend-- researching for this stupid fucking farm draft, I always miss someone. This year is no exception.
Top Ten:
1. Bryan Ramos, 3B, ChW
2. Jacob Wilson, SS, Grand Canyon
3. Brayden Taylor, 3B, Texas Christian
4. Miguel Bleis, OF, Bos
5. Derek Curiel, OF, HS
6. Aiden Miller, 3B, HS
7. Yohandy Morales, 3B, Miami
8. Rhett Lowder, P, Wake Forest
9. Vance Honeycutt, OF, North Carolina
10. Colt Keith, 3B, Det
My #1 choice is a guy who has been described as "projects as solid-average regular in MLB." That is how exciting this draft is. That list above is completely interchangeable. Swap #10 for #1 and I'd be fine with it. It literally doesn't matter.
