    Best player ever drafted #31 overall: Greg Maddux, 1984 (96.9 WAR)
    #32: Dave Magadan, 1983 (22.2)
    #33: Dave Burba, 1987 (13.6)
    #34: Mark Gubicza, 1981 (34.8)
    #35: Johnny Damon, 1992 (51.7)
    #36: Randy Johnson, 1985 (89.6) [2nd: Johnny Bench, 1965 (71.3)]
    #37: Frank Viola, 1981 (43.1)

    These are the exceptions, obviously. Only about a third of the players drafted #31-37 ever have a positive WAR in the majors, and maybe one of the ten is a legit starting player.

    But it beats a kick in the head...

    as well as a cap on international signings that’s staggered in inverse order of the standings.


    Whoa - guess I should have read the labor deal thread... I wasn't aware there was any such thing in the new CBA.

    That seems to me like the biggest deal of all - is it just bonus based, or does have any indirect spending limitations?

    Is that why he took the uniform number? Anyone know?
