Poll: How good was the 2105 draft?

***mattynokes*** · 03-08-2021, 01:00 AM

We always talk about the draft being good or bad. Let's put it to a vote and review after 10 seasons. Also, reply with any hot takes (i.e. Perry Bradridge will be trash. He'll never be more then a long reliever).

1B Aldridge will struggle to hit .200 most seasons and I will be happy I took Rogers who will be kind of a 2B George Evans type.

SP Jeff Blankenship develops into a vital line of 90+con/80+pow/90+mov and is regarded as the 2nd best pitcher taken in the first round of this draft.

Rogers will be Rogering men for spare change in the Twins citties within 4 years

1. I think 1B Aldridge will develop just as well, if not better, than 1B Brown.

2. I think SP Hewes will turn into a good pitcher. While he has poor control right now, I think the sanity checks will boost him like it did with Tom William or Kevin Lester.

3. I'm also very interested in seeing how SPs MacCammon and Palaeios develop.

I have Ed Palaeios as the 2nd best pitcher in this draft.
Mark Dolette misses the 90s on all vitals and ends up being quite meh. Mzy almost certainly flips him to someone else before that happens.
Todd Young out of the sixth round becomes a capable major league player.

Here's a couple more for the funsies.

Matty's late 4th round RP Arozca will be better than Peter's 1st round RP Secter unless Peter sends him to WB then who knows because peak clicks on a player that young can be quite effective.

Rocky's pick of CF Mitchell just 3 picks after Poldi took CF Hubner will haunt Poldi for the rest of his days because that's what you get for not having a well organized list.

This is the draft that Percy points to when he looks back after his WS win in 2111.

RP Madonald goes on a kill crazy rampage because people keep calling him MacDonald.

2B Mueillo ends up being really good until his health catches up with him. At least 1 all-star appearance.

3B Waycott, C Nail, & SP Mayo become pivotal pieces of Poldi's underachieving Twins teams.

SP Bell gets really good and probably goes with Mainer when he eventually switches teams with someone in the next couple offseasons.

SP Nat Bradley ends up Peter's best pick.

More than half of Matty's 14 picks in the 4th, 5th, & 6th rounds will play at least 1 game in the majors at some point.

SP Oliveres for STL ends up the best SP taken in the 4th round.

2B Watts ends up with more career HRs than a certain 1B taken in the top half of the 1st round.

1B Paul Brown smashes balls. Future HOFer. PR drafting prowess moves him up into most peoples mid-10 & some top-10's in the next edition of the yearly GM rankings.

That's all for now. If anyone wants me to do some for their team just shoot me a PM on the forum or better yet message me on discord.

Blankenship might be the best pitcher in this draft. None of the rest will even be all-star caliber other than Bradbridge and Blankenship.

It will be an almost entirely forgettable draft, with even dudes who peak well aren't all that good.
