2017 is the seventh year in which we've held the Minor League draft. The past results are interesting:
2016
1. Sharky--Corey Ray (OF-Louisville)
2. Dev Sop (from Nate)--Orlando Arcia (SS-MIL)
3. Mikey--Sean Newcomb (SP-Atl)
4. AA--Andrew Benintendi (OF-BOS)
5. Lou--Luis Ortiz (FRG-Tex)
2015
1. Lou -- Nomar Mazara (OF-TEX)
2. Gimmick -- Nick Gordon (SS-MIN)
4. Moose (from Solly) -- JP Crawford (SS-PHI)
6. Pun-- Kyle Schwarber (C-CHC)
7. Damas -- Steven Matz (SP-NYM)
*--AA (#3) and Dallas (#5) had full squads.
2014
1. Damas -- Brandon Nimmo (OF-NYM)
2. Mikey -- Marcus Stroman (SP-TOR)
3. Lou -- Nick Williams (OF-TEX)
4. Moose (from Army) -- Maikel Franco (3B-PHI)
5. Dallas -- Robert Stephenson (P-CIN)
2013
1. Lou--Addison Russell (SS-OAK)
2. DevSop (via Damas)--Taijuan Walker (SP-SEA)
3. DevSop *--Christian Yelich (OF-MIA)
4. Solly (via Moose)--Mike Zunino (C-SEA)
5. SanMan—David Dahl (OF-Col)
2012
1. SanMan--Gerrit Cole, SP, Pitt
2. AA--Wily Peralta, SP, Mil
4. Solly--Lucas Giolito, P, High School
5. Damas--Archie Bradley, SP, AZ
7. Mikey--Dylan "King Kong" Bundy, SP, Balt
*--Dev (#3) had a full squad. Army (#6) clocked out.
2011
1. DevSop -- Mike Moustakas, 3B, KC
2. Sanman -- Eric Hosmer, 1B, KC
3. Lou's -- Leonys Martin, OF, Cuba
4. Damas -- Jason Kipnis, Athlete, Cle
5. Pun -- Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice
Of these players, only three were used as Keepers this year. Kyle Schwarber is a 23rd round value for Nate. AA has two: Andrew Benintendi is a 25th round value and Marcus Stroman is a 21st round value. Stroman, as most remember, was drafted by Mikey, who then "forgot" about his eligibility at mid-season 2015. I may not have mentioned it to Mikey before sweeping up Stroman off waivers.
The longest current stint on the minor's roster is Solly's Lucas Giolito, who was drafted in 2012. Finally with the big club, Solly will have to make that decision at mid-season this year.
