Yesterday's line

The rookies holds a 181 wRC+ in his first two weeks in the bigs. Welcome to the Show Elly!

If you're interested in the nitty gritty, Jeff Passan wrote about this concept four years ago when these draft rules were still new in the previous CBA. The basic idea is that if a team goes 15% over its draft pool, it would lose its next two first round picks. [T]he broad strokes would be a team with one of the lowest draft pools landing seven or so players who landed between roughly 15 and 60 on its internal version of my rankings — let's call it one or two players in the 15-to-30 range then five or six more in the top 60. They'd likely come heavily from the high school class where team-by-team evaluations can vary greatly outside of the top tier of players (and where such shenanigans are more feasible than with college players).

If you're buying, who do you want to see your team go after?

If you have problems with displaying the results graph from MLB Pickle, I've been using code block around just the graph to keep Lemmy from putting it all on one line and without needing to put an empty line in between all of them.
