Relooking at the ATB IX Draft

A few weeks ago, I ran a "draft analysis" piece. No time for commentary, but here is an updated file.

Well, some bullets anyway:
  • Worst 1st round pick continues to be Randy Johnson, though, he does have a 2.16 ERA with his new team.
  • The latest an elite player was taken? Rd 5, Doc Gooden from Rod Beck
  • Worst pick of the draft might be Ron Guidry - a 3rd rounder taken by Edinburgh who still has a 5.63 ERA.
  • Maybe it is Whitey Ford though - he's a second rounder with a 5.23 ERA but has done less damage because he's pitched a few less innings.
Great late finds:
  • Rd 26, Charlie Ferguson (WMB) - 3.27 ERA, 104 IP
  • Rd 22, Kevin Millwood (WMB) - 3.18 ERA, 123 IP
  • Rd 20, Derek Lilliquist (WPP) - 1.21 ERA, 75 IP
  • Rd 19, Mike Jackson (OPR) - 1.87 ERA, 63 IP
  • Rd 18, Frank Killen (OFB) - 2.00 ERA, 121 IP
  • Rd 11, Steve Evans (WPP) - .973 OPS, 404 AB

  2. Was he drafted? I thought the dude who his getting destroyed by lefties (.350 / .412 / .475) was an FA move?

    Really, how does he have a 3.21 ERA with a line against lefties like that. 183 AB (with not much more, 202 vs righties)
