How does it compare to other teams though? (I honestly don't know)

I feel like MLB draft is one of the more unpredictable drafts where 1st rounders may amount to nothing.

Football: big, strong, fast
Basketball: tall, quick, hands
Baseball: uh.. what position do we need?

thats the thing… the other pro sports you go directly from draft onto the team maybe a starter if youre a higher 1st round… baseball can take years between college and mlb. strange since its so much less physicality than football or basketball

Not a single front office in the game drafts based on position. It just takes too long to reach the biggest. A lot can change
