With 50 rounds in the book, we can now take a look back at which National League teams improved their organization and which ones were hurt by their poor drafts. The first round, with issues of whether or not they can get their picks signed and bust potential, can break a team?s draft before it even starts. 1. Tampa Bay Devil Rays: David Price LHP Vanderbilt This was a no-brainer pick for Tampa Bay as Price has been the best player available all year and will soon be a great addition to the Devil Rays bullpen. 2. Kansas City Royals: Mike Moustakas 3B Chatsworth HS (California) Reports came out that the Royals weren?t going to be able to sign Rick Porcello and Moustakas is a great substitute, as he was the fastest risers up the draft boards this spring. 3. Chicago Cubs: Josh Vitters 3B Cypress HS (California) Vitters was the top high school hitter available and could become the first drafted position player to make an All-Star game since Mark Grace. 4. Pittsburgh Pirates: Daniel Moskos LHP Clemson The No. 4 pick is a little high for Moskos, a converted closer who has struggled this season for the Tigers. The Pirates should have taken a power bat here to help their poor offense. 5. Baltimore Orioles: Matt Weiters C Georgia Tech Weiters is an outstanding switch-hitting catcher who has many saying he will be a top-flight catcher for the next decade. Excellent value at No. 5 for the Orioles. 6. Washington Nationals: Ross Detwiler LHP Missouri State I thought the Nationals would go pitching here and Detwiler was the best college pitcher behind Price. An excellent start in the draft for former Braves president Stan Kastan, now in Washington. 7. Milwaukee Brewers: Matt LaPorta 1B/LF Florida I don?t understand this pick. The Brewers took a guy who has big question marks and are now going to ask him to switch positions when they would have been better off going after some young power pitching. 8. Colorado Rockies: Casey Weathers RHP Vanderbilt Weathers is almost Major League ready, but why would a team like Colorado, who has holes in the order and the rotation, take a reliever who will never be worth this pick unless they get good. Solid talent, but the Rockies should have gone for need here. 9. Arizona Diamondbacks: Jarrod Parker RHP Norwell HS (Indiana) Parker is an excellent value at No. 9 for the Diamondbacks because he was being reported to have contract talks with the Cubs at No. 3. The Diamondbacks have a good crop of positional players and Parker will be a key cog in a young pitching movement. 10. San Francisco Giants: Madison Bumgarner LHP South Caldwell HS (North Carolina) I think Bumgarner has an outside shot of being the best high school pitcher out of this draft, so of course I think the Giants did well here at No. 10. Bumgarner should be ready at about the time Matt Morris and Barry Zito start their downward parts of their careers. 11. Seattle Mariners: Phillippe Aumont RHP Ecole Du Versant (Canada) Aumont is said to be quite a talent and probably should of gone higher, like to Colorado, but Seattle will gladly take him and develop him into a possible No. 1 starter. 12. Florida Marlins: Matt Dominguez 3B Chatsworth HS (California) Dominguez is an excellent power bat who should fit nicely in Florida. I would of taken Beau Mills here, but Dominguez is worthy of this selection and will provide insurance against losing Miguel Cabrera. 13. Cleveland Indians: Beau Mills 3B/1B Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) Mills is an excellent pick for the Indians at No. 13 because of his power, baseball background and major league readiness. He wasn?t expected to fall here, but it turned out very well for the already talented Cleveland Indians. 14. Atlanta Braves: Jason Heyward OF Henry Co. HS (Georgia) Heyward could turn out to be the best positional player in this draft and the Braves were able to snatch him at pick 14. Another Georgia product, Heyward should be roaming the Turner Field outfielder in no time. 15. Cincinnati Reds: Devin Mesoraco C Punxsutawney Area HS (Penn.) This is a strange pick to me and I?m not a huge fan of it. The televised coverage said he has the talent to warrant this pick, but for someone who wasn?t even discussed a month ago, it makes you question his credentials. Think bust with Mesoraco and the Reds. 16. Toronto Blue Jays: Kevin Ahrens 3B Memorial HS (Texas) He has gotten Chipper Jones comparisons, but Toronto would have been better off stockpiling pitching, starting at No. 16. Ahrens is a good player who warrants this pick, but Toronto should have looked elsewhere for their first first-rounder. 17. Texas Rangers: Blake Beavan RHP Irving HS (Texas) Beavan is a hard thrower who won?t have to move far since he was picked by his hometown team. The Rangers desperately need to start developing pitching and Beavan is a great addition to this project. 18. St. Louis Cardinals: Peter Kozma SS Owasso HS (Oklahoma) Kozma is an interesting pick here for the Cardinals middle infield, but they could have done more. They have bigger needs and there were better middle infielders available. 19. Philadelphia Phillies: Joe Savery LHP Rice I really like this pick because Savery is battle tested and should make a quick rise through the minor league systems. A strong pick by the Phillies brass, who they can only hope will form a dominant tandem with Cole Hamels. 20. Los Angeles Dodgers: Chris Withrow RHP Midland Christian HS (Texas) This is a terrible pick for the Dodgers because it is conservative. They have the resources to go after Porcello, Andrew Brackman or Michael Main. This is one of the worst picks in the first rounds. 21. Toronto Blue Jays: J.P Arencibia C Tennessee This is the worst pick of the first round because the Blue Jays desperately needed pitching in the first round and with their last pick, they go with an underperforming catcher. 22. San Francisco Giants: Tim Alderson RHP Horizon HS (Arizona) The Giants go pitching for the second time in the first round and with Alderson, they get a project they hope to develop. Not a great pick, but still some value at No. 22. 23. San Diego Padres: Nick Schmidt LHP Arkansas: Schmidt is a great value at No. 23 who should develop quickly for the Padres. A strong college arm was reported to go between 8-11, but fell in the laps of San Diego here. 24. Texas Rangers: Michael Main RHP Deland HS (Florida) A tremendous athlete, Main is another great pick for general manager Jon Daniels at No. 24. He can also play outfield if they want to develop him there, but he is another power pitcher in the rebuilding process of the Texas Rangers. 25. Chicago White Sox: Aaron Poreda LHP U. of San Francisco This could be a bit of a reach for the White Sox with better left-handers on the board, but there is no doubting Poreda?s talent. At 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, look for Poreda to be another power arm to come through Chicago?s system. 26. Oakland A?s: Donald Simmons RHP UC Riverside Billy Beane takes another college pitcher in Simmons. He is a bit of a question mark to me as far as talent, but only time will tell if Beane hit on another unknown. 27. Detroit Tigers: Rick Porcello RHP Seton Hall Prep (New Jersey) Porcello should have been drafted No. 2, but money concerns drove him down to No. 27. He could still go to North Carolina, but the Detroit Tigers should be commended for taking the best player and working out the money later. Great pick by the Tigers. 28. Minnesota Twins: Ben Revere OF Lexington Catholic HS (Kentucky) This is a reach for the Twins, who have been hounded by draft experts across the country for this pick. Revere brings speed and could prove to be a nice lead-off guy for the Twins if he pans out. 29. San Francisco Giants: Wendell Fairley OF George County HS (Mississippi) Fairley has some off the field concerns, but most baseball experts say he is a real talent. I?m not sure I would have taken him over Julio Borbon, but Fairley does have great upside for the Giants. 30. New York Yankees: Andrew Brackman RHP North Carolina State Brackman is a huge right-hander at 6-foot-10 with an athletic background in basketball. He fell due to injury concerns, but the Yankees got a great catch at No. 30 and can hope he develops into a solid middle of the rotation pitcher. Douglas Benton can be reached at [email protected]
